The headline “average price per sqft in Dubai” is useful for journalists and almost useless for buyers.

Appreciation is the word Dubai brokers throw at every buyer who asks “but will it go up?” — and it’s the least reliable word in the sales pitch.

If you are a new buyer in Dubai, AML is the first real conversation you will have with your brokerage.


Absorption rate is the number most Dubai buyers have never heard of, and the one most developers watch more closely than their launch price.

The UAE just became the first country on Earth to switch on a commercial U6GHz network — 10 Gbps speeds, 80% population coverage by 2028, and a direct bridge to 6G. Here’s why districts getting early access are about to command a connectivity premium property investors can’t afford to ignore.
