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 Skycourts Tower A risen or fallen?
Median price per square foot moved +4.6% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 29 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
How does Skycourts Tower A compare with Dubailand Residence Complex?
Its 8.5% gross yield sits +0.7 pts against the Dubailand Residence Complex median of 7.8%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain.
