An apartment area built around launches

Of the 16 buildings and communities on our site, 8 are completed and 8 are off-plan or under construction. The sales figures lean towards new launches: 1,386 of the 1,774 sales were off-plan, against 388 in completed buildings.

The type of home is clear. Apartments accounted for 1,725 sales, villas and townhouses for 12 and land for 16. By bedroom count, one-bedroom apartments led with 665 sales, followed by 610 two-bedroom apartments, 285 three-bedroom apartments, 129 studios and 34 four-bedroom apartments. Larger homes are rare: there were 15 five-bedroom sales and 2 six-bedroom sales. One- and two-bedroom units make up most of the activity.

What 1,774 registered sales say about prices

Dubai Land Department recorded 1,774 sales in Al Wasl over the latest 12 months. The median sale price was AED 3,147,000, and the median price was AED 3,118.34 per sq ft. The most recent sale was registered on 2026-07-06. You can read the individual registered transactions, and how these figures are counted explains what is included.

An area median is the middle value: half of the sales were priced lower and half higher. It is a quick check on whether a quote sits far outside the usual range. It cannot tell you what one apartment is worth, because floor, view, size and handover date all change the price. With most sales off-plan, the median also mixes contracts from different launches and handover years, so a ready apartment and a unit sold from a plan are not directly comparable. Ask for the registered size of any unit and compare its price per sq ft with the area median, rather than looking at the total price on its own.

Rents: 292 contracts and a median of AED 179,280

Dubai Land Department registered 292 rental contracts in Al Wasl over the latest 12 months, at a median annual rent of AED 179,280. It is a middle value across every size of apartment, so individual contracts sit both below and above it. Use it to test a landlord's asking rent, not to predict what one particular unit will let for. Tenants should make sure the tenancy contract is registered through Ejari.

Asking prices in October 2026

These are asking prices seen on listings, not sale prices, and a final price can differ from the advertised one. In October 2026, the typical asking prices were:

• One-bedroom apartments: AED 2,020,000 to AED 2,600,000, with a median of AED 2,300,000.
• Two-bedroom apartments: AED 3,800,000 to AED 5,500,000, with a median of AED 4,500,000.
• Three-bedroom apartments: AED 6,825,000 to AED 10,483,000, with a median of AED 8,356,000.
• Four-bedroom apartments: AED 11,000,000 to AED 32,500,000, with a median of AED 23,561,000.

Two-bedroom apartments had the most listings, 403, followed by 201 one-bedroom listings, 190 three-bedroom listings and 66 four-bedroom listings. The four-bedroom range runs from AED 11,000,000 to AED 32,500,000, so treat any four-bedroom quote as a case to check unit by unit.

Choosing between buildings in Al Wasl

Start with the ready or off-plan decision, because the figures lean one way. Only 388 sales in the latest 12 months were in completed buildings, so a ready apartment such as one in Viridian or Myrtle has fewer comparable sales to check against. If you buy off-plan, the handover date matters as much as the price: a completion due in Q3 2026 and one due in 2029-12-31 are very different commitments.

Look at unit size next. With one- and two-bedroom apartments making up most of the sales, studios and larger units have fewer comparable sales, so rely on the registered size and compare similar units in the same building. For a completed building, ask for the owners' association service charge budget and what it covers. Ask how many parking spaces come with the unit and whether they are assigned in writing. For every building, judge the view from the actual unit, not a render or a different floor, and visit at different times of day to check light, noise and lift waiting times.

A buyer's checklist for Al Wasl

Because most sales here are off-plan, this list leans on the developer-sale process, with steps for ready units and tenants at the end.

1. Choose between a ready apartment and an off-plan one, and set a budget in AED that treats asking prices as a starting point only.
2. Shortlist two or three buildings and compare their completion dates side by side.
3. Get the exact unit number, registered size and floor plan in writing before you pay any deposit.
4. Ask for the developer's dated payment schedule and check that each instalment is tied to a date or construction stage.
5. Confirm that the project is registered and that your payments go into its escrow account, never to a personal account.
6. Read the sale and purchase agreement for the completion date and for what happens if handover is delayed.
7. Make sure the sale is registered in Oqood, the Dubai Land Department system for off-plan contracts, and keep the confirmation.
8. For a ready unit, check the title deed and the owners' association service charge budget, and confirm there are no outstanding charges.
9. Tenants should check that the tenancy contract is registered through Ejari and keep a copy.
10. At handover or before moving in, inspect the unit for snagging defects and list them in writing.
