The six biggest deals on 29 October 2026
All six of the largest transactions were recorded as ready (not off-plan) sales. Two were not homes in the usual sense: a land plot and a government housing transaction.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 600,000,000 | Barsha Heights | Not named | Land | 74,345 |

| 29,000,000 | Palm Jumeirah | The Royal Atlantis, Resort and Residences | Flat, 3 bedrooms | 3,430 |

| 20,700,000 | MBR District 1 | Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City-District One Phase II Villas | Villa | 9,533 |
| 20,500,000 | Dubai Marina | Not named | Flat, 4 bedrooms | 6,308 |
Land and government housing at the top
The Barsha Heights plot was registered at AED 600 million for 74,345 sq ft. That works out at roughly AED 8,070 per sq ft of plot area. DLD data does not name a project or buyer for the transaction.
The second-largest entry, AED 55.25 million, was a government housing deal in Wadi Al Safa 3 (Arjan & Dubailand) covering 33,153 sq ft. Readers tracking that part of the city can see off-plan projects in Wadi Al Safa 3 (Arjan & Dubailand).
Prime homes: Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Hills, MBR City and Marina
The biggest home sale was the three-bedroom flat at The Royal Atlantis, Palm Jumeirah, at AED 29 million for 3,430 sq ft. That is about AED 8,455 per sq ft, the highest rate among the named homes in the top six.
Three more deals sat in a tight band of AED 20.5 million to AED 20.75 million:
- Address Hillcrest, Dubai Hills Estate: AED 20.75 million for residential flats totalling 7,744 sq ft.
- District One Phase II Villas, MBR District 1: AED 20.7 million for a villa of 9,533 sq ft, about AED 2,171 per sq ft.
- Dubai Marina: AED 20.5 million for a four-bedroom flat of 6,308 sq ft, about AED 3,250 per sq ft.
Per-square-foot figures here are calculated from the value and size in the DLD data. They are indicative only, as size definitions differ between plots, flats and villas.
Most active projects by number of deals
Away from the headline sales, activity was concentrated in a handful of projects. The six busiest accounted for 86 of the 495 deals, or about 17%.

| Portside Square | 19 |
| DAMAC Lagoons – Lagoon Views 13 | 14 |
| The Greens at Sobha Sanctuary | 13 |

What this means for buyers
One transaction, the AED 600 million plot, makes up most of the value in the top six, so a single day's ranking says little about typical prices. Buyers comparing homes may find the project-level counts more useful than the headline figure. Anyone weighing a purchase at higher price levels may also want to read about the Dubai Golden Visa through property. For earlier reports, see our Dubai market news.
