Common questions
How many properties did Meraas sell in Dubai in 2026?
The Dubai Land Department registered 846 home sales in Meraas projects between January and September 2026, totalling AED 4.58B. The median registered price was AED 4,605,000 at 3,194 AED per sqft, and 66% of sales were off-plan. A further 169 registrations were land plots, which we report separately rather than mixing into the price above. Most of that volume sits in Al Wasl (365 registrations), Nad Al Shiba First and City Walk.
Is Meraas expensive compared with the rest of Dubai?
Its median works out at 3,194 AED per sqft against a citywide median of AED 1,712 per sqft across 95,878 registered apartment sales in Jan–Sep 2026. The median Meraas deal was AED 4,605,000; the largest single registration in the period was AED 90,000,000. In percentage terms that is 87% above the citywide apartment median — useful context when a sales office says a launch is priced «at market». Note that this median blends apartments and villas, and the DLD measures a villa's area on its plot, so treat the comparison as indicative.
Which Meraas projects sell the most?
By registered sales in Jan–Sep 2026: City Walk Crestlane 4 (184), City Walk Crestlane 5 (150), Nad Al Sheba Gardens Phase 11 (101). High transaction counts mean easier resale, but also more competing units when you exit. The leading project alone accounted for 22% of Meraas's Jan–Sep registrations — volume is spread across the portfolio, not carried by one launch.
Can a non-resident buy from Meraas remotely?
Yes. Foreign buyers can purchase in Dubai's freehold zones without residency, and the deal is registered with the DLD in dirhams — a power of attorney allows the whole process to be done without flying in. Purchases at or above AED 2M can qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa. At Meraas's median registered price of AED 4,605,000, a typical single purchase already clears that AED 2M threshold.
Where do these numbers come from?
From individual sales registered with the Dubai Land Department (open data), January–September 2026, aggregated by us. Projects are attributed to the developer by their registered project name and checked against the registered area. These are prices buyers actually paid, which usually sit below portal asking prices. These are registrations, not launch-day «sales»: a project that sells out at launch appears here only as buyers complete DLD registration, which is why our counts can differ from press releases.
