- How much does a 2 bedroom in Sobha Daffodil cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 1.21M (848 AED/sqft), from 6 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What are apartments in Sobha Daffodil selling for right now?
- Registered sales of ready units in Sobha Daffodil over the last 12 months have a median of 848 AED/sqft, across 6 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 Sobha Daffodil risen or fallen?
- Median price per square foot moved +1.4% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 6 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
- How does Sobha Daffodil compare with Jumeirah Village Circle?
- Its 7.3% gross yield sits +0.1 pts against the Jumeirah Village Circle median of 7.2%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain.
