Dubai Cost of Waiting Calculator

All calculations are based on publicly available Dubai Land Department (DLD) transaction records. Each transaction includes date, registered price, property type, bedroom count, size in sqft, area, and project details. Data is periodically refreshed, the last import date is shown with every result.

Accuracy depends on comparable sample size. Results carry a confidence band: High (30+ comparables), Moderate (10–29), Low (3–9), or Very Low (<3). Projections are trend-based estimates, not valuations, investment advice, or mortgage approval guarantees.

The interquartile range method removes transactions whose price-per-sqft falls below Q1 − 1.5 × IQR or above Q3 + 1.5 × IQR. This strips distress sales, data-entry errors, and non-arm's-length deals, giving a cleaner picture of true market pricing.

Yes. Select Off-plan in the Status field to filter comparables to off-plan DLD transactions only, or leave it blank to include all types. Off-plan segments sometimes have thinner data, so confidence may be lower.

Coverage depends on the DLD data imported. High-transaction areas, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, JVC, Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah, JLT, Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches, Emaar Beachfront, typically return high-confidence results. Smaller communities may return low-confidence or insufficient-data results.

The calculator computes the half-year change between 0–6 month and 6–12 month median price-per-sqft. This rate is annualised and capped between −10 % and +20 % to prevent distortion from thin datasets. A default of +3 %/year applies when there is insufficient time-separated data.
