Actual transaction prices in Verdana 1, since 2025
The figures below come from registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not from listings. We show the median rather than the mean, so that one-off penthouses do not distort it.
The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them. Calendar years would not work here: the current one is unfinished, so the comparison would understate the change. The median across the whole district moved -2% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
