Average price per square metre

Determining the average price per square metre of an apartment in the Rashid Yachts & Marina district is difficult. Many factors come into play when calculating the value of a property.

Factors influencing price

In Dubai, as elsewhere, several factors directly influence the value of a property. The first thing to take into account is the surface area of the target property. Naturally, a studio will cost less than an apartment with one or more bedrooms. The second thing to consider is the type of services that accompany the purchase of the apartment in question. Swimming pool, gym, lounge, relaxation or coworking area, sports field, sea view... The more boxes you tick, the more expensive the property in question is likely to be. Finally, the location of the property will also play an important role. If your residence or apartment is just a few meters from a metro station, bus stop, school or even a shopping or health center (or all of the above), then the price could rise.
