Hi Will, from the Emirates website:
"As a general indication, a two bedroom apartment can cost between Dhs 25,000 - 45,000 and a three bedroom villa, Dhs 75,000 - 120,000, but all dependent on area. Some may include air-conditioning and other costs, but it is best to check first."
The UAE "Gulf News" has some property classifieds at

but I am no longer current on areas, you will need to find a "local" for recommendations of good/bad areas!
