Over the trailing 12 months the median registered sale price was: Dubai South Residential District — AED 1 634/sqft, 4.6% gross yield; Jumeirah Village Circle — AED 1 386/sqft, 6.5% gross yield; Business Bay — AED 2 245/sqft, 5.0% gross yield; DubaiLand Residence Complex — AED 1 413/sqft, 4.9% gross yield. Across the compared areas the registry recorded 51 160 transactions in that window. These are registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not asking prices from listings.

| Metric | [Dubai South Residential District](https://continentalclub.ae/location/dubai-south-residential-district/) | [Jumeirah Village Circle](https://continentalclub.ae/location/jumeirah-village-circle/) | [Business Bay](https://continentalclub.ae/location/business-bay/) | [DubaiLand Residence Complex](https://continentalclub.ae/location/dubailand-residence-complex/) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Median price per sqft | AED 1 634 | AED 1 386 | AED 2 245 | AED 1 413 |
| Year-on-year change | +9.1% | +0.9% | -3.3% | +8.4% |
| Transactions, 12 months | 17 119 | 14 693 | 9 772 | 9 576 |
| Sales volume, 12 months | AED 23.6B | AED 17B | AED 32.7B | AED 14.3B |
| Median transaction price | AED 1.1M | AED 990 505 | AED 2M | AED 1.1M |
| Median rent per sqft per year | AED 76 | AED 91 | AED 111 | AED 69 |
| Gross rental yield | 4.6% | 6.5% | 5.0% | 4.9% |

The highlight marks the literally better value in each row: lower price, stronger momentum, more transactions, higher yield. It is not a buy recommendation.

What this comparison does not show: build quality, the managing company, the view, the condition of a specific apartment or the terms of a deal. A higher-yield area is not automatically the better buy — gross yield ignores service charges and vacancy between tenants.
