What the price gap means

Al Qusais Old runs 7% above Um Suqaim on median AED/sqm (1,135 AED/sqm in Al Qusais Old against 1,057 AED/sqm in Um Suqaim). There is not enough sampled data on both sides to break the gap down by property type.

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.
