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. Gross yield divides the median annual rent from new registered Ejari contracts starting in the last 12 months by the median price of the building's registered sales in the last 12 months (at least 3 sales) for the same bedroom type, with ready and off-plan sales counted alike.
