Questions about The World Islands
What is the price per square foot in The World Islands?
The median registered sale in The World Islands was AED 4,186 per square foot over the last twelve months to 3 September 2026, across 41 registered sales. That is 142 per cent above the city-wide median of AED 1,728, and ranks 5 of 95 reportable communities.

Are property prices in The World Islands rising or falling?
The median price per square foot in The World Islands fell 10.7 per cent over the last twelve months, measured against the equal period immediately before it. The city-wide median rose 8.3 per cent over the same window. A large swing in a community where most sales are new launches usually reflects a change in what is being sold there rather than a repricing of the same homes.

The commonest size registered in The World Islands over the last twelve months was a studio, and its median was AED 2,000,000 across 31 such sales, at a typical 425 square feet. Median rather than average, because a small number of very large sales pulls an average upward.
How much of the The World Islands market is off-plan?
Over the last twelve months, 88 per cent of registered sales in The World Islands were off-plan, meaning bought from a developer before completion rather than from an existing owner. Across Dubai the share was 69 per cent. Mortgage registrations equalled 22 per cent of sales here, against 22 per cent city-wide; a developer payment plan is not a mortgage and never reaches the mortgage register.
