How to read this map
The map shows the median sale price of villa homes sold this year, off-plan and ready together. Mortgages and gifts are left out. These tables list areas with at least 20 sales. Areas with fewer villa sales this year are left out, so some of Dubai's most expensive villa communities don't appear.
A median can shift with what sold: a few new luxury launches can lift an area well above what older homes there go for, so check AED per sq ft and the sales count too.
