Emaar properties for sale: communities, new launches and how to choose in 2026

Emaar properties for sale range from studios in Downtown Dubai to mansions in The Oasis. The entry prices Emaar publishes on its own site run from about AED 1.06 million in Emaar South to more than AED 13 million for villas in The Oasis. Most new supply is off-plan in a handful of master plans, while ready homes trade on resale in established areas such as Downtown, Dubai Marina, Arabian Ranches and Dubai Hills Estate. I run this page as a tracker of Emaar properties for sale and update it monthly; the figures below were checked in October 2026.

Emaar in brief

Emaar was founded in 1997 by Mohamed Alabbar and is listed on the Dubai Financial Market. It built Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountain, and says it has delivered more than 130,900 homes since 2002.

Emaar properties for sale by community

These are the "from" prices Emaar shows on its own community pages. They reflect what Emaar is marketing that day, not the lowest resale, so please confirm current availability with me before you plan around any figure.

The spread is wide, so the first decision is lifestyle: a city apartment, a golf or park villa, or the beach. For the beach, my Emaar Beachfront guide covers towers, launches and holiday-home rules. Emaar projects outside Dubai, such as Address Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, follow that emirate's rules, so I treat them separately.

Emaar new launch tracker (October 2026)

Here is what Emaar has disclosed about recent releases:

1. 2025: 48 launches, including Grand Polo Club & Resort, a new phase of The Valley and The Bristol at Emaar Beachfront.
2. H1 2026: 11 launches across Emaar South, Dubai Hills Estate, The Heights Country Club, The Oasis, Rashid Yachts & Marina and Expo Living, with what Emaar called a "calibrated approach" given the regional environment.

Each Emaar new launch sets its own price list and plan, and good units go first. If you want to hear about the next one early, send me your budget and preferred community now.

Ready or off-plan: choosing between Emaar properties for sale

Emaar projects split into two routes, and the right one depends on your timeline and how you will use the home.

Emaar projects completed years ago in Downtown and Dubai Marina have rental and resale histories you can check on DXBinteract; new launches have none, so you are buying the plan, the location and the developer's record.

Emaar villas for sale: where to look

Emaar villas for sale fall into three broad bands by published entry price:

• Mid-market: The Valley and Emaar South, the two lowest community starting prices in the table above.
• Upper-mid: Grand Polo Club & Resort from AED 3.5 million, about 5 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport according to Emaar.
• Prime: The Oasis, where current projects start at about AED 13 million.

Ready Emaar villas for sale in Arabian Ranches and Dubai Hills Estate trade on resale, so I price them from recent DLD transfers rather than asking prices.

Emaar off-plan projects: payment plans and protections

Emaar off-plan projects usually ask for less up front than a ready purchase, but the split varies by launch. Two published examples: Seascape in Mina Rashid listed 10% at booking, 70% during construction and 20% on handover, and The Bristol used the same 10/70/20 shape. Emaar does not publish one standard plan, so read each SPA.

Buying Emaar off-plan carries the same protections as any Dubai launch:

1. Payments go into a project escrow account that can only fund that project.
2. The sale is registered on Oqood within 90 days of signing.
3. You can track construction progress and escrow details on Dubai REST.
4. 5% of the escrow is held back until a year after units are registered to buyers.

Off-plan mortgages are capped at 50% of the value, so plan most construction payments from cash. My payment plan guide compares structures, and the off-plan hub covers launches from other developers.

2026: what the slowdown means for buyers

Reuters reported in March 2026 that Emaar's shares fell more than 26% after the regional conflict, and ValuStrat recorded residential prices down 4% quarter on quarter in Q2. Emaar still sold AED 22.4 billion of UAE property in the first half. For anyone comparing Emaar properties for sale, this means a calmer launch pipeline, more resale stock in established communities and real room to negotiate on ready homes. I quote 2025 records as 2025 and price every unit against recent transfers.

For buyers in the UK, India and the US

A large share of searches for Emaar homes comes from the UK, India and the US. Non-residents can complete with a passport, the DLD supports remote registration, and a home of AED 2 million or more can support a 10-year Golden Visa application under ICP rules. Emaar also develops in India and Egypt, but every price on this page is for its UAE communities. Start with my guide for foreign buyers, or the India buying guide if you are remitting from India. The converter on this page shows GBP and INR.

How I help you choose

When clients compare Emaar properties for sale, I narrow the field in three steps: the community that fits your life or your tenant, the unit position inside it, and the price against recent DLD transfers. If you are weighing developers, my DAMAC properties guide covers the other big name.

Tell me your budget, timeline and must-haves, and I will send a shortlist with transfer data for each option. Book a consultation or message me on WhatsApp.
