- How much does a 1 bedroom in Blvd Central 2 cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 1.94M (2,102 AED/sqft), from 12 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What are apartments in Blvd Central 2 selling for right now?
- Registered sales of ready units in Blvd Central 2 over the last 12 months have a median of 2,102 AED/sqft, across 12 sales. That uses the same trailing year as the rent and yield figures, requires at least five sales, and excludes off-plan. Floor, view and condition move a specific unit's price around it.
- Have prices in Blvd Central 2 risen or fallen?
- Median price per square foot moved +1.0% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 12 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
- How does Blvd Central 2 compare with Downtown Dubai?
- Its 5.6% gross yield sits +0.1 pts against the Downtown Dubai median of 5.5%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain.
