Lakeside A — sale prices & transaction history

Lakeside A sale prices by bedroom

Median recorded prices for Lakeside A by bedroom count. Each row is priced on the last 4 months wherever that period holds enough sales, and steps back only as far as it has to — 12 months, then 3 years, then the whole record. The period each row actually covers is named beside it, with the number of sales behind it, so you can see exactly how thin or deep the figure you are reading is. Every row also shows what has traded in the last 4 months, including when that is nothing — set against the full record of 935 recorded transactions. These are the prices buyers actually paid — not asking prices, and not a district average.

A bedroom type with fewer than five recorded transactions keeps its count and loses its median: below that sample a middle value is arithmetic, not a market rate. A median taken across the whole register mixes prices from every year the building has traded, so each row above is priced on the most recent period that clears that threshold. Rows can sum to less than the building total — very large units are held out of the table for the same reason.

Why below-market resale shows up in Lakeside A

• A register carried by studios. Most owners here are investors, and a unit is sold when the rent no longer covers the mortgage and running costs rather than when the owner's circumstances at home change.
• Near-identical competing units. With almost nothing to separate one studio from another on size, a seller who must complete by a date has price as the only lever.
• Service-charge sensitivity. In Dubai the service charge is set per building, charged by floor area and due whether or not the unit is let, so a rise or a vacant spell can push a marginal holder toward selling.
• The district's accessible position. Dubai Production City sits at the affordable end of the ladder, where ownership turns over faster and a seller working to a deadline appears steadily rather than occasionally.

What to check before you offer on Lakeside A

• Confirm the Lakeside letter. The buildings are registered separately and priced separately here, so a figure from one is not evidence about another.
• Treat the studio row as unusually literal. Where recorded sizes repeat this closely, a unit offered at a materially different size is worth a question before it is worth an offer.
• Ask for the current service charge per square foot and the last two years of it. In Dubai it is set per building and reviewed annually, and a rise of a dirham or two per square foot moves a mid-size flat's running cost by thousands a year.
• Ask which register the unit sits on. A completed home changes hands on the secondary register at the Land Department; a pre-handover unit is an assignment of the original sale contract, needs the developer's no-objection certificate, and carries whatever is left of the payment plan.

Lakeside A — common questions

Why does the table stop at one bedroom?

Because the Land Department has recorded no apartment sale here above one bedroom. The table prints a row only for bedroom types that have actually sold, so an absent row means an absent sale rather than a withheld figure.

Is the price data on this page asking prices or actual sales?

Actual sales. Every figure comes from the Dubai Land Department's record of completed transactions — the price recorded when ownership legally changed hands.

Why can rows in this table cover different periods?

Because each row is priced on the most recent period that holds enough of its own sales: the last four months first, then the last twelve months, the last three years or the whole record. Each row names the period it uses, and a row whose sales are too few even over the whole record keeps its count but shows no price.

Can I tell from this data whether a unit is selling below its original price?

No. The Land Department records a developer's first sale and a pre-handover resale under the same code, and the export carries no unit identifier, so an original price cannot be traced to a later sale of the same apartment.

How current is this register?

The page states the date of the most recent recorded sale it holds and recomputes every figure on load. Records arrive in batches, so the newest few days are typically not yet included.
