- How much does a 2 bedroom in Hub Canal 2 cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 875,000 (746 AED/sqft), from 5 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What are apartments in Hub Canal 2 selling for right now?
- Registered sales of ready units in Hub Canal 2 over the last 12 months have a median of 746 AED/sqft, across 5 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 Hub Canal 2 risen or fallen?
- Median price per square foot moved +12.4% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 5 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
- How does Hub Canal 2 compare with Dubai Sports City?
- Its 8.6% gross yield sits +0.9 pts against the Dubai Sports City median of 7.7%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain.
