What the index holds
4,045 records, deduplicated across portals and developer sites, split into 2,962 live off-plan projects and 1,083 already-delivered buildings. The delivered ones are kept as comparables and are outside every count and every benchmark on this site. 2,270 of the live projects publish a payment plan we could parse.

Six emirates carry enough tracked stock to benchmark. Dubai is 79% of the book, which is why most of the writing on this site is about Dubai; the other five are on the same page rather than claimed as coverage. All emirates.
What the payment plan is actually worth
An off-plan headline price is a number attached to a schedule. A plan that takes 20% on booking and defers the rest across construction and a post-handover tail collects the same total years later, so in today’s money it is worth less than the same total paid on completion day. Discount each published schedule to present value at 5.0% a year and the gap to the headline is the plan discount. No portal publishes it.
This is a financing term rather than a price cut, and it is worth reading next to a rate rather than instead of one. 1,888 of 2,962 tracked off-plan projects reach the table, 64% of the book; the rest publish no schedule we can price or carry a handover date already in the past, and they are absent rather than estimated.
A community median is not a price for the thing you are buying
A headline median describes whatever an address mostly sells. So every rate is published against the narrowest base that still carries evidence: the rung, the product and the builder inside one community, each with its own count and its own quartiles.
Communities
168 community benchmarks with a full distribution, quartiles, payment plan structure and handover pipeline. 77 Dubai communities carry a rate rank.
Browse communitiesDevelopers
392 builder profiles of the 681 the corpus can see, each priced against the communities it actually builds in. 208 are deep enough to rank.
Browse developersCross cuts
One address held still while a single variable moves: bedroom rung, property type or developer, priced on its own records rather than the community average.

The headline price is a number attached to a schedule
Every off-plan payment plan defers most of the price for years, so the headline overstates what the unit costs in today's money. Discounting 1,888 published schedules to present value at 5.0 percent puts the median plan at 5.13 percent off its own headline. Eight findings on where the softest terms are written, why the discount is time rather than generosity, why the league table survives any sane discount rate, and the third of the live book the metric cannot reach.
Dubai off-plan market, Q3 2026: twelve findings from the priced record
The free read of the Q3 2026 edition, quoted as published on 3,297 Dubai projects and 48,651 priced unit records: the median asking price per sqft, the community spread, why studios cost the most per sqft, what payment plans really ask before handover, where the 2027 completion wave lands, and one gap the data cannot fill. The corpus has since been reclassified, so the medians and charts on the page are live and the edition counts are not.
Off-plan outside Dubai 2026: what the other five emirates actually cost
611 of the 2,962 tracked off-plan projects sit outside Dubai, and the price order is not the one the headlines imply: Ras Al Khaimah asks more per sqft than Dubai, Umm Al Quwain more again, Ajman far less. Ten findings on booking deposits that halve at the border, post-handover tails written on half of Ajman plans, single addresses that carry a whole emirate, and the bedroom curve that inverts once you leave Dubai.
Dubai off-plan handovers 2026 to 2030: where the wave lands
Projects scheduled to complete by year and quarter through 2030, the peak year and its share of the window, the communities and developers carrying the largest 2027 and 2028 books, what later delivery years ask per sqft, and why published dates are a schedule rather than a forecast.
How this is built, and what is deliberately absent
Developer inventories and portal listings are read at source, deduplicated into one record per project, and reduced to medians and quartiles. 52,882 unit rows clear every plausibility check and become the priced record every benchmark is computed over; 319 projects publish no price at all and are listed without one rather than filled in. Nothing here is a forecast. Every figure is a count, a median or a quartile over records we hold, and the base count is printed beside it so you can judge how much weight it carries.
There are no photographs, no developer renders and no re-hosted brochures on this site, because none of that is evidence about price. There is no valuation, no yield projection and no capital growth estimate. Entry prices start at AED 310K and are quoted as published, not as advertised “from” prices we could not verify. Sources read to 30 July 2026, corpus merged 18 August 2026, this build 2 October 2026.
