Example: a 1-bedroom on a mortgage
On the average 1-bedroom price of AED 998,000, a 80% mortgage over 25 years at an illustrative 4.25% rate works out to roughly AED 4,325 per month. Your actual rate and instalment depend on your profile and lender.
What this means for your mortgage
Our view: at around AED 1,106 per square foot, Wadi Al Safa 3 remains an accessible entry point into central Dubai, but the softer volume means sellers are more negotiable than the headline AED 1,583,000 average suggests. As a rough guide, the average one-bedroom at that level costs about AED 4,325 a month on a 80% mortgage.
