- Registered sales of ready units in Diamond Views 1 over the last 12 months have a median of 995 AED/sqft, across 11 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 Diamond Views 1 risen or fallen?
- Median price per square foot moved +5.0% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 11 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
