In our review of ready apartment sales recorded by the Dubai Land Department during the week of 26 October 2026, we found 10 noteworthy transactions that closed below TruValue. Leading this list was a 3br property in Downtown Dubai, which sold for AED 4,000,000, approximately 38% under our TruValue estimate of AED 6,455,000.
The average deviation from TruValue across these 10 homes was around 18%. We have ranked these properties based on how significantly each sale fell below their respective TruValue, ensuring a balanced representation across various communities. Each TruValue estimate is derived using our standard methodology, which considers recent, genuinely comparable transactions within the same community, focusing on similar bedroom counts and sizes.
It's essential to understand that a sale price below TruValue is merely an initial indicator rather than a definitive conclusion. Such discounts can arise from various factors, including tenanted units that cannot be sold vacant, lower floor locations, less desirable views, or properties that are older or in need of renovation. This is precisely why TruValue is crucial before making any commitments; it helps differentiate between a genuine opportunity and a fair price for a property that may have limitations.

Ready (secondary) apartment sales registered with the Dubai Land Department during the week, compared with TruValue (MOVA's valuation) for a comparable home (same community, bedroom count and size) around the sale date. Only high-confidence TruValue estimates are shown; unit numbers are withheld. TruValue is a data-driven figure for mortgage and purchase workflow — not a physical inspection or a formal RICS report. A price below TruValue can reflect a tenanted unit, a lower floor or view, older condition or a motivated seller as easily as a genuine bargain.
What this means for your mortgage
Our perspective is clear: the buyers who achieve success in Dubai are those who grasp a property's fair value prior to entering negotiations. The figures we present are TruValue estimates designed for purchase and mortgage workflows, not substitutes for physical inspections or formal assessments. They illustrate what a data-driven valuation looks like. Before you proceed with an offer, we can arrange a TruValue valuation (priced at AED 599; AED 299 with a partner coupon) for the specific home you are considering, and then initiate a free mortgage pre-approval.
