Mix shift, in plain words
These are changes in the average of whatever sold. If more large homes or a new tower's first sales land in one period, the average moves even if no home is worth more. Big swings in short windows and small areas deserve the most caution.

Figures read from the sources on 12 November 2026. Each figure links to the page it came from.
Price and rent change by area over 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 3 years, side by side, so a short dip can be read against the longer trend.
How it works
The table puts each area's published change side by side for four windows: the last 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 3 years. Each figure compares the average over that window with the window of the same length immediately before it.
Read it from right to left. The 3-year and 1-year columns show the trend; the 3-month and 6-month columns show whether it is speeding up, slowing down or turning. A fall over 3 months inside a strong 3-year rise is a different situation from a fall in every column.
Switch to rents to see the same windows for tenancy contracts. Property Finder reports new contracts and renewals separately, and renewals usually move more slowly because rent increases on renewal are capped by the rental index.
Cells are shaded blue for a rise and sand for a fall, darker for a bigger change. Click a column heading to sort by it.
Where the figures come from
- Dubai: Property Finder transaction pages for each community, read with the page's own period filter (3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 3 years) for sales, and for 1 year and 3 years for rents. Figures are averages of Dubai Land Department registrations.
- Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah: Bayut's asking-price index, which publishes a 12-month change only.
A record was kept only when the page's own period label matched the window we asked for.
What to keep in mind
What mix shift means, in plain words. These figures compare the average price of what sold in one period with the average price of what sold in the period before. If the second period happens to include more large villas, or the first sales of an expensive new tower, the average rises even though no home became more valuable. The opposite happens when a cheaper project hands over. That is mix shift. Changes of 100% or more are marked, because at that size it is almost always the cause, but smaller changes can carry it too. Short windows in small areas are the most exposed, because a handful of sales can swing the average.
- No comparison means the source published a figure for the window but no change, usually because nothing was registered in the window before.
- Not published means the source has no figure for that area and window.
- Compare areas within one source. Property Finder's registered sales and Bayut's asking prices measure different things.
Questions buyers ask
Are property prices falling in Dubai?
It depends on the area and the window. Several areas show a fall in the average price per square foot over the last 3 or 6 months while still showing a rise over 1 and 3 years. The table shows every window side by side, so you can see which kind of fall it is.
Why does a 3-month figure disagree with the 1-year figure?
They answer different questions. The 3-month figure compares the last three months with the three before; the 1-year figure compares the last twelve months with the twelve before. A short-term dip can sit inside a longer rise, and small samples make short windows noisier.
What does mix shift mean for these figures?
The figures compare averages of whatever sold. When the type of property selling changes, for example a burst of off-plan registrations in a new project, the average moves even if values do not. Changes of 100% or more are flagged for that reason.
Why are rents shown as new contracts and renewals?
Property Finder publishes them separately. New contracts reflect the current market; renewals reflect existing tenants, whose increases are limited by the rental index, so they usually lag.
