Over the 12 months to June 2026, Dubai Land Department records show 3,068 ready apartment sales completed in Dubai Marina (secondary market, Existing Properties). The average sale price stood at AED 3,065,000, working out to roughly AED 2,433 per square foot.
Compared with the previous 12 months, transaction volume was 29% fewer (from 4,305 sales), while the average price moved up 6.3% year on year. In plain terms, the market saw thinner deal flow but broadly firm pricing — a pattern that typically rewards well-prepared, decisive buyers over speculative ones.
For investors, gross rental yields in the area run at about 5.5%, based on registered tenancy contracts against sale prices. The mix of what actually traded tells you who is buying: 1 bedroom 37%, 2 bedroom 32%, 3 bedroom 16%. Smaller, more liquid units continue to dominate transactions in Dubai Marina.

Example: a 1-bedroom on a mortgage

What this means for your mortgage
Our view: at around AED 2,433 per square foot, Dubai Marina remains an accessible entry point into central Dubai, but the softer volume means sellers are more negotiable than the headline AED 3,065,000 average suggests. As a rough guide, the average one-bedroom at that level costs about AED 8,061 a month on a 80% mortgage.
