3 bedroom off-plan: AED 4,180,000 median
5,648 priced 3 bedroom unit records sit in the tracked UAE off-plan book, 11% of every priced record in the corpus. The median asks AED 4,180,000 for 2,022 sqft, which is AED 2,000 per sqft. Half of the book sits between AED 2,877,497 and AED 6,003,638, and between 1,690 and 2,630 sqft.
Dubai carries 4,301 of those records, 76% of the rung, at a median AED 4,000,000 and AED 2,004 per sqft. Prices are developer asking prices on published unit tables, not transactions. Every figure below states the number of records behind it.

Every emirate that publishes at least one 3 bedroom record, largest book first. A thin book moves on very little, so read the record count before the median.

| Penthouse | 106 | AED 8.66M | 3,552 | 2,491 | the dearest |

| Townhouse | 761 | AED 3.15M | 2,400 | 1,272 | -64% |
Same bedroom count, different label. The dearest 3 BR ticket belongs to penthouses at AED 8.66M on 3,552 sqft, the cheapest to townhouses at AED 3.15M on 2,400 sqft. Types publishing fewer than 20 priced records on this rung are dropped. The whole cross-tab is in the property type note.

3 bedroom by address
Each of these reads the same rung inside one community: the distribution, which schemes still sell it, what one more bedroom costs at that address, and how the address compares with its peers on this rung. Why the address moves the rate further than the rung does is measured in address beats bedroom count.
