KhaleejKeys is built around one idea: a fair price comes from what buyers actually paid, as registered with the Dubai Land Department, not from asking prices. This guide shows how to use the free tools on the site to check a deal from first look to deposit. No sign-up is needed for any of it.
1. Start from registered sales
The home page lists completed, registered ready sales, newest first. Search a community or building, filter by property type and bedrooms, and sort by price or by AED per square foot. Every price shown is a registered sale: what the buyer paid, not what a seller asked.
2. Open a deal to see its context
Click any sale to open its Deal page. Alongside the price, size and AED per square foot, it shows:
- A matching earlier sale, where one exists: a unit of the same size and bedroom count, and how this price compares with it.
- A 12-month median price per square foot from the closest like-for-like sales: the same building and bedrooms where there are at least 10 sales, otherwise the whole building, then the community. The label says which comparison it used and how many sales are behind it, and how far this sale sits above or below.
- "What is this worth?": the middle half of comparable registered sales in the same building, as a range, with the sales behind it listed.
The Deal page also has an estimator for the upfront cash and monthly cost of a purchase, and a gross yield view. They are illustrations, not quotes, and say so.
3. Price a home that is listed, not sold
For a home you have seen listed, the estimate tool gives an indicative price range. Choose the community, optionally the building, the bedrooms and the size. It returns the middle half of comparable registered sales over the last 12 months, scaled to the size you entered, with every comparable shown so you can judge them yourself.
It is an indication, not an appraisal: it cannot see floor, view, condition or parking.
4. Check what it would rent for
If you are buying to let, the rents page shows the median registered annual rent by community and bedroom count, from Ejari rent contracts registered with the Dubai Land Department over the last 12 months. It also shows the typical range, new versus renewal contracts, the change on a year ago, and a gross yield against the median registered sale price for the same bedroom count.
Gross yield is before service charges and costs. Our guide to verifying a property explains why the net figure can be very different.
5. Verify the deal before you pay anything
Price is half of a safe purchase. The other half is proving the deal is real. The verify checklist walks through six checks, from confirming the area is freehold to verifying the seller's title deed, and links each one to the Dubai Land Department's own service. You can tick them off as you go.
What KhaleejKeys is, and is not
We are independent. We do not list properties, we are not an agent, a developer or the registry, and nobody pays us to change what you see. We show the price picture from registered transactions; ownership and registration are verified through the Dubai Land Department, the only authority on both.
