Some home types in Business Bay have enough registered ready sales for a price range; the others say so. Off-plan is 61% of sales here: we count it but compare prices only with ready sales.

Brief Battle is free during the pilot: verified brokers who cover Business Bay send their best units for 72 hours and we rank them against registered deals. Few brokers have joined so far, so offers may be few. Brokers never see your contact details unless you choose an offer.

On 110 past 12-month predictions, made only with data available at the time, our model's average error was 27% lower than simply carrying forward the median price. Even so, under our conservative rule the outlook on this page uses the simple median.

An honest 80% band should contain about 80% of outcomes; ours contained 86%.
