What the price gap means

Jumeirah Third runs 1% above Al Bada on median AED/sqm (11,112 AED/sqm in Al Bada against 11,227 AED/sqm in Jumeirah Third). That gap is widest for Villa / Townhouse, where Al Bada runs 2% above Jumeirah Third. The headline number is driven by that unit type rather than a uniform premium across the board.

Citywide medians mix property types unevenly, so a headline gap can reflect what is being sold rather than a like-for-like premium. The per-type table above compares only the property types with enough sampled sales in both areas.
