Dubai Hills Estate Property Prices: Real Transaction Data

Over the twelve months ending 1 September 2026, the median residential sale in Dubai Hills Estate was AED 2,230,847, or AED 2,376 per square foot, across 2,719 registered transactions. A studio is the highest yielding unit type in the community at 7.13 percent gross. Off-plan accounted for 56 percent of all sales. Every figure on this page comes from Dubai Land Department registrations, not from listing prices.

What buyers actually paid, by unit size

Gross yield is the median annual rent divided by the median sale price for the same bedroom count over the same period. It is before service charges, agency fees and vacancy. A further 55 sales carry no bedroom count in the register and sit outside these figures, at a median of AED 12,000,000 across a median 5,539 square feet, consistent with large villas. Five bedroom sales numbered 18 and fall below our 30 transaction minimum, so they are not published.

Off-plan against ready

Off-plan made up 1,531 of the 2,719 sales, or 56 percent, at a median of AED 2,326,888. Ready property made up 1,188 sales at a median of AED 2,100,000. The gap of roughly AED 227,000 is the premium buyers paid to enter a project before completion, and it is one of the narrower gaps among Dubai's large master communities.

How to read these numbers

The yield curve in Dubai Hills Estate runs the same way it runs across Dubai. The smaller the unit, the higher the return. A studio returns 7.13 percent while a four bedroom returns 5.00 percent, so an investor buying for income and a family buying to live are looking at two different products inside the same community.

Price per square foot tells a second story. Three bedroom apartments carry the highest rate at AED 2,524 per square foot, while four bedroom homes drop to AED 1,948. The larger properties here are villas and townhouses, where the buyer is paying for plot and land rather than for finished tower space.

Why the Land Department calls it Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid

Dubai Land Department registers property under cadastral area names rather than commercial community names. Dubai Hills Estate is recorded as Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid. Anyone searching the open data for "Dubai Hills" finds nothing, which is why most published price guides for this community fall back on listing portals instead of the register. The figures on this page were matched to the cadastral name and verified against the master project field before aggregation.
