The Oasis by Emaar: What 3 Years of Real Transaction Data Shows
Most articles about villa appreciation in Dubai quote a single average price with no source. Below is what Dubai Land Department transaction records actually show for The Oasis by Emaar — 2,198 registered transactions from launch (September 2023) through August 2026, including 85 cases where the exact same unit was bought and later resold.
The Oasis, Last 3 Years
| Metric | Figure |
|---|---|
| Transactions recorded | 2,198 |
| Total transaction value | AED 37.8 billion |
| Date range | Sept 2023 – Aug 2026 |
| Matched same-unit resale pairs | 85 |
The community-wide median price has moved from roughly AED 1,566 per sq ft in 2023 to AED 2,073 per sq ft in 2026, but that figure blends collections launched at very different times and price points — Marèva, Marèva 2, and Palace Villas Ostra only began transacting in 2025, at higher price points than Palmiera's 2023 launch. It reflects the community's evolving mix, not one property appreciating. For that, the clearest evidence is the same unit, resold — see below.
Same Unit, Sold Twice
Dubai Land Department records let us track individual units by their registered unit reference across multiple sales. Of The Oasis's 2,198 transactions, 85 involve a unit that sold more than once — a genuine, same-property comparison rather than a market average.
| Holding period | Matched pairs | Median gain | Average gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~1 year (9–15 months) | 32 | +4.5% | +2.6% |
| ~2 years (15–27 months) | 43 | +7.0% | +8.1% |
| ~3 years (27–39 months) | 10 | +12.6% | +12.7% |
No unit in this dataset has yet been held for 5 years — The Oasis only began selling in September 2023, so the longest resale-to-resale gap on record is under 3 years (34.7 months). Any 5-year figure would be an estimate, not a measurement, so we're not publishing one. We'll update this page as longer holding periods become available in the data. A small number of matched pairs in this dataset resold below their original price — those are included in the medians and averages above, not excluded. This may reflect distressed sales, price corrections, or related-party transfers rather than typical market resale activity; Dubai Land Department public data doesn't distinguish these cases. These figures show what has happened to specific, verified transactions — not a guarantee of future returns.
The Clearest Like-for-Like Evidence: Palmiera
Palmiera is the only Oasis collection with enough resale history (49 matched pairs) to show a genuine trend rather than a handful of data points. Its own resale market has moved as follows, compared to its own 2023 launch price — same collection, not a community blend:
| Period | Median price (AED/sq ft) |
|---|---|
| 2023 launch (initial sales) | 1,566 |
| 2024 resales | 1,650 |
| 2025 resales | 1,753 |
| 2026 resales | 1,809 |
That's a +15.5% move from Palmiera's original 2023 launch price to its 2026 resale median — over roughly 2.5 to 3 years, on the same collection. This is the single most defensible appreciation figure in this dataset.
| Holding period | First sale | Resale | Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~9 months | AED 10,428,888 (16 Nov 2023) | AED 11,000,000 (22 Aug 2024) | +5.5% |
| ~20 months | AED 10,061,888 (9 Nov 2023) | AED 11,700,000 (25 Jul 2025) | +16.3% |
| ~35 months | AED 9,547,888 (14 Sep 2023) | AED 10,700,000 (4 Aug 2026) | +12.1% |
How Each Oasis Collection Compares
| Collection | Matched resale pairs | Median gain | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palmiera | 49 | +11.9% | Enough history to trust — see above |
| Mirage | 19 | +1.3% | Resale market essentially flat so far |
| Palmiera 3 | 5 | +7.0% | Directionally positive, sample too thin to generalize |
| Address Villas Tierra | 6 | -1.7% | Negative median on a thin sample — see caveat above |
| Palace Villas Ostra | 5 | 0.0% | Flat, thin sample |
| Palmiera 2 | 1 | n/a | Single data point — not usable for any claim |
| Marèva | 0 | — | No matched resale yet — collection only began transacting January 2026 |
| Marèva 2 | 0 | — | No matched resale yet |
| Lavita | 0 | — | No matched resale yet |
Palmiera is the only collection old enough and liquid enough to show a reliable resale trend. The rest of The Oasis's collections are too new to have a meaningful secondary market yet — that's expected for a community that only started selling in 2023 and is still releasing new collections as recently as 2025 and 2026. We'll update this table as more resale history accumulates.

Transaction data: PropertyMonitor extract of Dubai Land Department Open Data, pulled 26 August 2026, covering 2,198 registered transactions for The Oasis by Emaar since launch. Matched pairs identified by the unit's DLD registration reference appearing in more than one transaction record — a same-unit match, not a same-type-and-size approximation. Figures may differ slightly from official DLD records due to data processing; verify directly against DLD/DARI if using these figures for a formal investment decision.
