Almost everything here is off-plan, and all of it is by one developer

Of the 25 buildings and communities on our site, 18 are off-plan or under construction and 7 are completed. Every one of them is by Emaar Properties, so the choice in Emaar South is less about which developer and more about which building, which stage and which unit type.

Seven buildings are finished. Urbana and Golf Views were completed in Q1 2020 and Q2 2020. The rest are still to be handed over, and among the buildings compared below the stated completion dates run from Q2 2028 to Q3 2029. A completion date is the developer's target, so ask what the contract says if it moves.

What the 13,762 registered sales say about the homes

Apartments dominate. Of the sales, 11,949 were apartments, 1,532 were villas and townhouses and 183 were land. By size, studios (4,346 sales) and one-bedroom homes (4,311) are the two biggest groups, followed by two-bedroom homes (2,920) and three-bedroom homes (910).

Larger homes are a much smaller part of the picture: 619 four-bedroom sales, 364 five-bedroom sales, 5 six-bedroom and 7 seven-bedroom. If you want a family-size home here, expect to compare fewer units than a studio or one-bedroom buyer would.

The Dubai Land Department figures for the last 12 months

Dubai Land Department recorded 13,762 sales in Emaar South over the latest 12 months: 12,093 off-plan and 1,669 ready. The median sale price was AED 1,304,000 and the median was AED 1,546.3 per sq ft. The most recent sale was on 2026-07-06. You can browse registered transactions on our site, and our methodology page explains how these figures are counted.

An area median puts studios and five-bedroom homes, ready units and off-plan units, and every building in the same pile. It tells you where the middle of the registered sales sat, not what one unit is worth. Before you accept an asking price, ask for registered sales of the same building and unit type, with dates.

Asking prices in October 2026, from one to four bedrooms

In October 2026, one-bedroom homes were listed at typical asking prices of AED 1,150,000 to AED 1,450,000, with a median of AED 1,300,000 across 194 listings. Two-bedroom homes were listed at typical asking prices of AED 1,600,000 to AED 2,220,000, with a median of AED 1,900,000 across 324 listings. Three-bedroom homes were listed at typical asking prices of AED 2,900,000 to AED 3,473,000, with a median of AED 3,175,000 across 279 listings. Four-bedroom homes were listed at typical asking prices of AED 3,913,000 to AED 5,100,000, with a median of AED 4,427,000 across 194 listings.

These are asking prices, not sale prices. They show what sellers asked in the latest 90 days, and the final price can differ. Because most registered sales here are off-plan, a listing may be an original purchase being resold before handover, so ask the seller how much has been paid to the developer and what is still due.

Emaar Properties: the developer behind every project here

Emaar Properties has 25 projects in Emaar South on our site, which is every building and community we list here. With one developer, the differences between buildings come from the stage, the unit mix, the handover date and the payment schedule rather than from who builds it. Ask each sales contact for the same documents, so the comparison is fair.

How to choose between Emaar South buildings

Start with the stage. A completed building shows you the finished unit, the corridors and the lifts. An off-plan building shows you a brochure and a model, so the floor plan and the dated payment schedule matter more.

Then look at unit size. Studios and one-bedroom homes make up most of the sales, so if you need three bedrooms or more, ask each building how many of those units exist before you fall for a render.

Next, ask about running costs. For a completed building, ask for the owners' association service charge budget. For an off-plan one, ask what service charge the developer expects and when it starts. Ask about parking too: how many spaces come with the unit and whether they are covered.

Finally, check the view from the actual unit, not from the sales gallery. On a completed building, visit on a weekday morning and again in the evening. On an off-plan one, ask for the unit's position on the floor plan and the floor it sits on.

A checklist for buying off-plan in Emaar South

Most sales here are off-plan, so this list follows that route. If you buy a completed unit, swap steps 3 to 5 for a title deed check and a service charge budget.

1. Confirm the exact unit: its number, floor, internal size, floor plan and position in the building.
2. Read the sales and purchase agreement and write down each instalment, its due date and what triggers it.
3. Confirm that payments go into the project's escrow account and that the receipts carry the developer's details.
4. Check that the sale is registered in Oqood, the Dubai Land Department system for off-plan contracts, and keep the certificate.
5. If you are buying a resale, ask how much has been paid to the developer, what remains due, and whether the developer must approve the transfer.
6. Note the stated handover date and what the contract says if it is delayed.
7. Ask what service charge the developer expects and when it starts.
8. At handover, inspect the unit before accepting it, list every defect (snagging) in writing and keep a dated copy.
9. After handover, check that the title deed is issued in your name.
10. Keep every document and message in one folder, and compare two or three buildings on the same list.
