What are current average sale and rental prices per square foot in Dubai Marina and how have they changed since October 2025

Short answer. For current average sale and rental prices per square foot in Dubai Marina and the change since October 2025, you need specific per-square-foot figures from transactional and listings data sources; this article shows which numbers to pull, where to find them, and how to calculate the change yourself.

What sources and measures we use

Primary sources. Use Dubai Land Department transaction reports for verified sale prices, RERA or major listing portals for advertised rents, and the Dubai Marina neighborhood pages on portals like Realtor for current listings and advertised per-square-foot rates.

2. How to find current average sale price per square foot in Dubai Marina

Direct answer. Compute a current average sale price per square foot by pulling recent closed sales from Dubai Land Department for Dubai Marina, grouping by unit type, and dividing sale price by BUA square footage.

Data sources to check

Key sources. Download or request Dubai Land Department transaction extracts for Dubai Marina, use RERA or Bayut market reports for comparable sales summaries, and cross-check with individual building registers for floor and view adjustments.

• Dubai Land Department transactions: pull closed sale price and BUA for the last three months
• Brokerage sold reports: filter Dubai Marina and export per-square-foot figures by building
• Portal sold listings: cross-check large transactions against advertised units

Which comparables to pull

Comparable checklist. Pull at least 12 closed sales of the same unit type, similar floor level, and similar view line within Dubai Marina; record sale price, built up area, floor, view, finishing status, and parking count to normalize per-square-foot.

3. How to find current average rental price per square foot in Dubai Marina

Direct answer. Use live rental listings and recent lease registrations to compute advertised rent per square foot, then adjust for furnished status, view, and floor.

Listing portals and regulator sources

Where to look. Check RERA lease data if available, and aggregate current listings on portals that have specific Dubai Marina pages to calculate advertised AED per square foot. Realtor and other portals have neighborhood pages that make it easier to filter by Marina address and unit size.

• Portal advertised rents: export current listings for Marina towers and calculate AED per sq ft
• Agency live market reports: use to cross-check seasonal demand effects

Adjusting for unit type and view

Adjustment factors. Smaller studios and one bedrooms typically show higher rent per square foot than large three bedroom apartments; units with marina or water views and mid to high floors usually command higher advertised AED per square foot than garden or podium-facing units.

4. How to compare prices to October 2025

Direct answer. To measure change since October 2025, pull the per-square-foot average for the same sets of comparables at that date and compute percentage or absolute differences; document dates and sources when you present the comparison.

Exact numbers to pull

Required fields. For each comparable, capture transaction date, sale or rent amount in AED, built up area in square feet, number of bedrooms, building name, and floor. Compute AED per square foot as amount divided by square feet.

• Sale per sq ft formula: AED sale price divided by BUA sq ft
• Rent per sq ft formula: AED annual rent divided by BUA sq ft
• Comparison step: compute averages for the same unit category at October 2025 and at current date, cite source and date

Steps to calculate per-square-foot change

Step-by-step. 1. Export closed sales in Dubai Marina for October 2025, 2. compute AED per sq ft for each, 3. calculate average for the sample, 4. repeat for current closed sales, 5. report both averages with source links and sample size.

5. Local details that affect per-square-foot values in Dubai Marina

Direct answer. Building specifics, location within the Marina, and amenities drive per-square-foot differences; you must normalize for these when comparing numbers across time.

Building age, podium versus tower

Building factors. Older podium-style buildings around Marina Walk often have different finish levels and smaller floor plates than newer high-rise towers like Cayan or Marina Gate, and that shows up in AED per square foot.

View, floor level, and proximity to Dubai Marina Walk

Location details. Units with marina water views, high floors, and immediate access to Dubai Marina Walk or a private marina berth usually report a different AED per square foot from internal courtyard units or podium-facing apartments. Note these attributes when you select comparables.

6. Practical tips for buyers, sellers, and relocating tenants

Direct answer. Use normalized per-square-foot comparisons, document sample sizes, and call out adjustments for view and furnishing when negotiating or setting a listing price.

What buyers should request from an agent

Ask for a local market pack. Request 10 to 15 closed-sales comparables within Dubai Marina that match your target building, unit size, and floor, with the raw sale price and BUA so you can verify the AED per square foot calculation.

What sellers and landlords should prepare

Prepare transparent data. Provide the exact BUA, recent service charge details, and any special amenities such as assigned marina berths or private terraces when your agent calculates advertised AED per square foot for listings.

Local context reference. Dubai Marina sits along the Persian Gulf shoreline and contains towers like Cayan, Princess Tower, and Marina Gate, plus walkable amenities such as Dubai Marina Mall and Marina Walk.
