Properties
for Sale in Dubai

As of late 2026, the average price per square foot in Dubai ranges from AED 1,200 in emerging areas like JVC and Dubai South, to AED 3,500+ in prime locations like Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, and Emirates Hills. Mid-tier areas like Business Bay and Dubai Marina typically trade at AED 1,600-2,200 per sqft. ZARIN advisors provide current neighborhood-specific data during consultation.

Beyond the purchase price, buyers should budget for: Dubai Land Department transfer fee (4% of price, split between buyer and seller historically but typically paid by buyer), agency commission (2% for buyers), registration fee (AED 4,000 for properties above AED 500K), title deed issuance (AED 580), and mortgage arrangement fee if applicable (typically 0.5-1% of loan amount). ZARIN provides a full cost breakdown before any commitment.

Yes. Since 2002, foreigners can buy freehold property in designated areas of Dubai, including Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, Business Bay, JVC, Dubai Hills, and many others. Leasehold (up to 99 years) is available in some non-freehold areas. ZARIN advises on the right structure for your nationality and residency goals.

A cash purchase typically completes in 30-45 days from offer acceptance, including NOC from developer, transfer at DLD, and title deed issuance. With a mortgage, allow 45-60 days for bank processing, valuation, and final offer letter. Off-plan purchases sign immediately and complete over the developer's payment plan (1-5 years typically). ZARIN coordinates every step and keeps you informed throughout.

Dubai continues to offer competitive yields (5-8% gross on apartments, 4-6% on villas), no annual property tax, and strong population growth supporting rental demand. However, returns depend on area, entry price, and exit timing. Not every listing is a good investment — some areas are over-supplied, some developers are over-leveraged. ZARIN provides data-driven analysis tailored to your specific mandate.

For UAE residents: passport copy, Emirates ID, proof of funds, and pre-approval letter if mortgaging. For non-residents: passport copy, proof of funds, and a local bank account (we help set up). Off-plan buyers need a signed booking form and KYC documents. ZARIN guides you through the exact requirements based on your situation.

Yes. We offer live video tours via WhatsApp or Zoom, recorded walkthroughs of shortlisted properties, and 3D virtual tours where available.

Studios in areas like JVC, Dubai Sports City, and Discovery Gardens start around AED 350,000-500,000. For a quality 1-bedroom in a prime area like Dubai Marina, expect AED 1,200,000+. Family villas start around AED 3,500,000 in established communities. ZARIN works with all serious budgets — your advisor tailors the search to your range.
