Example: a 1-bedroom on a mortgage
On the average 1-bedroom price of AED 912,000, a 80% mortgage over 25 years at an illustrative 4.25% rate works out to roughly AED 3,953 per month. Your actual rate and instalment depend on your profile and lender.
What this means for your mortgage
We believe that with an average price of approximately AED 1,135 per square foot, Jebel Ali presents a viable entry point into central Dubai. However, the decrease in transaction volume suggests that sellers may be more willing to negotiate than the average price of AED 1,142,000 might imply. As a rough estimate, a typical one-bedroom unit at this price level would incur monthly costs around AED 3,953 on an 80% mortgage. Before making any offers, we strongly recommend using our mortgage eligibility calculator to accurately assess your monthly expenses.
