What is 每平方英尺单价?
房产购置价格除以建筑总面积（以平方英尺计）所得的标准化价格指标，是迪拜楼市横向比较不同区域和楼盘相对价格水平的通用基准，便于投资者快速识别价格异常和投资机会。
Description
The calculation is price divided by built-up area. A 500 sqft studio at AED 600,000 works out at AED 1,200 per sqft; a 1,000 sqft apartment at AED 1,100,000 works out at AED 1,100 per sqft, so the larger unit is the better value per foot even though it costs more in total.
Indicative area-level bands across Dubai apartment stock:
- JVC and Dubai Silicon Oasis: AED 800 to 1,200 per sqft
- Business Bay: AED 1,200 to 2,000 per sqft
- Dubai Marina: AED 1,500 to 2,500 per sqft
- Downtown Dubai: AED 2,000 to 3,500 per sqft
- Palm Jumeirah: AED 2,500 to 5,000 and above per sqft
These are area aggregates across a mixed stock of buildings, ages and unit types, not a valuation of any specific apartment. Read them as the range a search should start from, then narrow to the building.
For a sub-AED 2.5M budget the bands do most of the shortlisting work. At AED 1,000 per sqft, AED 1.2M buys roughly 1,200 sqft, a comfortable two-bedroom in the mid-market communities. The same AED 1.2M on Palm Jumeirah at AED 2,500 per sqft buys under 500 sqft, which is a studio. The budget has not changed; the area has decided the unit type.
公式
Price per Square Foot = Total Price / Built-Up Area (sq ft)How to interpret
Compare like with like or the metric misleads. Studios carry a structurally higher price per sqft than two-bedrooms in the same building, because fixed costs sit on fewer feet and demand for small units is deep. A studio priced above the building's average per sqft is normal, not a red flag.
Benchmark against registered transactions rather than asking prices, and stay inside the same building or its immediate neighbours. A premium to comparable transacted psf needs a reason you can name: a high floor, an unobstructed view, a full renovation. If nobody can name it, it is a negotiating point.
Price per sqft is only half the running arithmetic. Service charges are quoted the same way, in dirhams per sqft per year, so a low purchase psf attached to a high service-charge psf can be the more expensive apartment to own. Check both numbers on the same unit before ranking two buildings.
迪拜市场背景
Dubai publishes the area and price of every registered transaction through the Dubai Land Department, which makes psf benchmarking unusually straightforward compared with most markets. The DLD transaction records and the Dubai REST app are the reference, and both are free to check before you make an offer.
Confirm which area figure a psf quote uses. Built-up area, which includes internal walls and often a balcony share, is the standard basis in Dubai listings, and a psf calculated on a net or suite area will look higher for the same money. Recalculate both quotes on the same basis before comparing them.
Off-plan psf from a developer generally sits above secondary psf for comparable completed stock in the same area, priced for new specification and a payment plan spread over construction. That premium is a decision, not a given: work out the psf you are being asked for, then set it against recently completed comparable buildings nearby.
Frequently asked questions
There is no single citywide average that is useful, because the range is too wide. Indicative area bands run from roughly AED 800 to 1,200 per sqft in JVC and Dubai Silicon Oasis, AED 1,200 to 2,000 in Business Bay, AED 1,500 to 2,500 in Dubai Marina, AED 2,000 to 3,500 in Downtown Dubai and AED 2,500 to 5,000 and above on Palm Jumeirah.
Divide the total price by the built-up area in square feet. An AED 600,000 studio of 500 sqft is AED 1,200 per sqft. Use the same area basis on both sides of any comparison, because a psf worked on net area is not comparable to one worked on built-up area.
Fixed elements such as the kitchen, bathroom and services are spread over fewer square feet, and demand for small, affordable units is structurally strong. A studio trading above the building's average psf is the normal pattern rather than an overpriced outlier.
No. Service charges are also quoted per sqft per year, and a cheap purchase psf in a building with high charges can cost more to hold. Floor level, view, condition and the age of the building all move psf for legitimate reasons.
In the Dubai Land Department's registered transaction records, accessible through DLD e-services and the Dubai REST app. They give the transacted basis for the building itself, which is stronger evidence than portal asking prices.
Usually, yes. Developers price new stock above the secondary psf of comparable completed buildings in the same area, reflecting new specification and the payment plan. Calculate the off-plan psf and set it against nearby completed comparables before accepting the premium.
