Asking price is 20.3% higher than nearby completed homes (+AED 289/sq.ft.)
The developer asks AED 1,100,000 (~AED 1,713/sq.ft. for a published 642 sq.ft. starting unit), while comparable residential homes in Damac Hills sold for a median of AED 1,424/sq.ft. (AED 914,208 for the same size).
AED 1,713 / sq.ft.
AED 1,100,000 starting price · 642 sq.ft.
Headline AED/sq.ft. (AED 1,713/sq.ft.) is calculated directly from the published starting 1 BR unit (AED 1,100,000 ÷ 642 sq.ft.).
AED 1,424 / sq.ft.
AED 914,208 for same size
Median price paid for completed residential homes nearby (DLD).
+AED 289 / sq.ft. (+20.3% Premium)
+AED 185,792 on this unit
Positive (+) is a premium above benchmark median; negative (-) is a discount below benchmark median (not a guaranteed gain).
Why this difference matters: The asking rate is 20.3% (~AED 185,792 on a 642 sq.ft. unit) above recent nearby completed homes in Damac Hills. Because future property appreciation is never guaranteed, local secondary prices would need to rise by at least 20.3%—plus ~4%–6% in registration and resale costs—before handover just to match today's baseline.
