# Dubai Marina Property Price Check Based on 21,119 DLD-registered property transactions in Dubai Marina between July 2023 and May 2026. Not portal asking prices. Actual closed-sale records from the Dubai Land Department registry. ## What The DLD Transactions Show Dubai Marina is one of the most actively transacted residential areas in Dubai. The transaction data shows a wide price range driven by floor level, view, building quality, finishing, and whether the unit is furnished. **Average closed-sale benchmarks (Jul 2023 – May 2026):** | Type | Average Closed-Sale Price | |---|---| | Studio | AED 1,277,906 | | 1 Bedroom | AED 2,196,497 | | 2 Bedroom | AED 3,887,750 | | 3 Bedroom | AED 6,277,524 | Average price per square foot across all transactions: **AED 2,710/sqft** These are averages across all Dubai Marina buildings and all periods in the dataset. A specific listing may differ significantly based on floor, view, building age, and finishing quality. A same-building comp pool gives a sharper benchmark than an area average. ## Why Asking Prices Are Not Enough Portals show what sellers want. DLD records show what buyers paid. For Dubai Marina, the gap between asking price and closed-sale price can be material — especially on high-floor or marina-view units where premium claims are common but not always supported by comparable transactions. A deal check that uses only portal data misses the actual transaction evidence. DealCheck uses DLD closed-sale records to benchmark asking prices against what similar units in the same building and area have actually traded at. ## What Drives Price Variation In Dubai Marina **Floor and view:** Marina-facing and sea-facing units trade at premiums. Low-floor, city-view units in the same building can trade at 20-40% less per sqft. **Building age and quality:** Older buildings (pre-2010) typically show lower per-sqft values than newer developments. Building-specific comp pools matter more than area averages. **Finishing and furniture:** Furnished units carry a premium at time of sale but the premium dissipates faster than buyers often expect. The DLD records are for the property transaction itself, not the furniture. **Payment plan vs ready:** Off-plan units in Marina trade at different benchmarks from ready units. A ready unit comparison against an off-plan comp pool can produce a misleading benchmark. ## Service Charges In Dubai Marina Service charges in Marina vary substantially by building. Older buildings generally have higher per-sqft service charges. A buyer should verify the actual Mollak-registered service charge for the specific building — not use a Dubai Marina average as a proxy. Gross yield on a Marina apartment is typically quoted between 5-7%. Net yield after service charges and vacancy depends heavily on the actual service charge per sqft for that building. ## How To Check A Specific Dubai Marina Listing Paste a Bayut or PropertyFinder URL for any Dubai Marina listing into DealCheck.

Transaction depth indicates genuine buyer demand. Whether a specific unit is a good investment depends on asking price vs. closed-sale comps, net yield after service charges, and floor/view premium support. DealCheck can benchmark any Marina listing against actual transactions for that building. **What is the average price per sqft in Dubai Marina?** Based on 21,119 DLD-registered transactions between July 2023 and May 2026, the average closed-sale price per square foot in Dubai Marina is AED 2,710. This is a blended average across all buildings, floors, and view orientations. High-floor marina-facing units transact materially above this; low-floor city-view units in older buildings transact below it. **What is the average price of a 1-bedroom in Dubai Marina?** The average closed-sale price for a 1-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina is AED 2,196,497 across all transactions in the dataset (Jul 2023 – May 2026). Individual units range widely based on building, floor, view, furnishing, and finishing. **How much are service charges in Dubai Marina?** Service charges vary significantly by building in Dubai Marina. Older pre-2010 buildings typically carry higher per-sqft service charges than newer stock. The only reliable source is the Mollak-registered service charge for the specific building — not area averages. Always verify before calculating net yield. **What is the rental yield in Dubai Marina?** Gross yield on Dubai Marina apartments is commonly quoted between 5-7%. Net yield depends on actual service charges, vacancy, and whether the unit is managed for short-term or long-term letting. DealCheck separates rent evidence (Ejari-registered contracts) from asking rents to give a more realistic yield baseline. **How do I check if a Dubai Marina apartment is overpriced?** Paste the Bayut or PropertyFinder listing URL into DealCheck. The report pulls same-building DLD closed-sale comps, calculates asking price vs. transaction benchmark, and flags where the listing is above, within, or below the evidence range for that building. --- *Not a certified valuation, financial advice, or investment recommendation.
