Property Overview
A 4BR single row townhouse is available in Ibiza, one of the themed clusters within DAMAC Lagoons, Dubailand, Dubai. The unit has a plot size of 1,550 sqft and is priced at AED 2,500,000. The agent states this is below the original purchase price of AED 2,590,000, representing a 3.5% discount. The sale is restricted to cash buyers only. DAMAC Lagoons is developed by DAMAC Properties with the agent stating handover in Q1 2027.
The agent has provided plot size only. Comparable 4BR Ibiza listings with the same 1,550 sqft plot show a built-up area of 2,282 sqft. The BUA has not been confirmed for this specific unit.
Deal Analysis: Below OP
The agent states an original purchase price of AED 2,590,000 and an asking price of AED 2,500,000, giving a discount of AED 90,000 or 3.5%. This is a modest discount.
The seller also absorbs the 4% DLD transfer fee paid at purchase (AED 103,600), bringing their total loss to approximately AED 193,600 when accounting for the DLD fee.
The cash-only requirement is a notable distress signal. Sellers who insist on cash buyers typically cannot afford the time required for mortgage processing (2 to 4 weeks). Combined with the below-OP pricing, this points to financial pressure or a deadline the seller is working against. However, the 3.5% discount is modest for a cash-only distress listing, which may leave room for negotiation.
Competing Listings: Cheaper Options Available
Several active 4BR listings in Ibiza, DAMAC Lagoons are priced below this listing:
- AED 2,340,000: 4BR back-to-back (middle unit) townhouse, BUA 2,282 sqft, plot 1,550 sqft, listed as a distress deal with a motivated seller (PF ref NOVVI-2026, listed 2 days ago). This is AED 160,000 cheaper.
- AED 2,400,000: Two 4BR townhouse listings at this price, BUA 2,282 sqft, plot 1,550 sqft (PF refs LIV-S-IBIZA04 and LIV-S-IBIZA12, listed 7 to 12 days ago). These are AED 100,000 cheaper.
A 4BR B2B listing at AED 2,500,000 from AQUA Properties matches this listing's price but is a back-to-back unit.
The key differentiator is that this listing is described as single row, whereas the cheaper comps include back-to-back (middle) units. Single row townhouses typically command a premium because they avoid shared rear walls, offering better cross-ventilation, privacy and natural light. However, buyers should assess whether the single row premium justifies the AED 100,000 to AED 160,000 price difference over the cheaper comps.

Handover Status

However, DLD transactions from September and October 2026 remain classified as off-plan, confirming the cluster has not yet been handed over despite earlier projected dates. This pattern of delayed handover is common across DAMAC Lagoons clusters. Buyers should verify the current construction progress and realistic handover timeline directly with DAMAC.
Verification Notes
- The original purchase price of AED 2,590,000 is stated by the agent. It falls within the upper range of DLD 4BR transactions (AED 2,300,000 to AED 3,101,000) and is plausible, though the round figure cannot be independently verified for this specific unit.
- The 3.5% discount is modest, particularly for a cash-only listing. The cash-only requirement is a distress signal but the pricing does not reflect aggressive discounting.
- Active comps at AED 2,340,000 (B2B) and AED 2,400,000 are AED 100,000 to AED 160,000 cheaper. The single row configuration of this listing may justify some premium, but buyers should evaluate whether the difference is proportionate.
- The most recent DLD 4BR transaction (8 October 2026) at AED 2,300,000 is AED 200,000 below this asking price.
- The agent provided plot size (1,550 sqft) but not BUA. Comparable listings show BUA of 2,282 sqft for 4BR Ibiza units with this plot size. This listing omits price per sqft because BUA was not stated in the agent brief.
- Single row means the unit is not a back-to-back (middle) configuration. This typically provides better ventilation, privacy and natural light compared to B2B units.
- All recent DLD transactions in Ibiza are off-plan, confirming the cluster remains under construction as of October 2026 despite earlier projected handover dates.
- The zone is registered as Al Hebiah Fifth in DLD records.
