A four-bedroom residence at Madinat Jumeirah Living has sold for AED 10.5 million through CBA Real Estate, in what Gulf Today described on 26 August 2026 as the second-highest residential sale in the community's history. The price, about AED 3,821 per square foot, points to how much buyers will pay for rare homes in established parts of Jumeirah.
The deal
The transaction was handled by CBA Real Estate advisor Nadiia Tymoshenko, who has completed more than 40 transactions within a matter of months. The buyer and seller have not been named.
Tymoshenko said the buyer recognised how rare the opportunity was, and described her role as bringing the expectations of both sides into line so the deal could close.
- Community: Madinat Jumeirah Living, Dubai
- Home: four-bedroom residence

Why Madinat Jumeirah Living draws a premium
Madinat Jumeirah Living appeals to buyers looking for freehold homes in the Jumeirah area, where supply is limited and quality stock rarely comes to market. Its location close to some of Dubai's well-known leisure destinations adds to that appeal.
Gulf Today framed the sale as a sign that the upper end of the market may be moving into a new pricing tier. That reading rests on a single transaction, so it is better seen as an indicator than a trend. What it does show is that an exceptional home, properly positioned, can sell well above community averages.
"Premium buyers do not need another search result," said Dr. Salman Bin Ali, CEO of CBA Real Estate.
His point is that buyers at this level are looking for an advisor who understands the property and the seller, not another long list of options.
What it means for buyers and sellers
For owners in tightly held communities, the sale is a reminder that pricing should reflect the specific home: its size, condition, layout and scarcity, not just the community average. Presentation and negotiation make a measurable difference when there are few comparable homes on the market.
For buyers, it highlights the value of moving decisively when a rare property appears, while still checking recent transaction evidence and understanding what makes a particular unit worth a premium.
