Example: a 1-bedroom on a mortgage

What this means for your mortgage
We believe that at approximately AED 2,416 per square foot, Al Khairan First offers an accessible entry point into central Dubai. However, the reduced transaction volume suggests that sellers may be more open to negotiation than the average headline price of AED 2,807,000 implies. For instance, the average monthly cost for a one-bedroom unit at this price level is about AED 7,797 on an 80% mortgage.
