About this data and how to use it
Every Dubai area with at least 50 registered residential deals in the last 12 months, in one sortable table: number of deals, total volume, median deal price, median price per square metre, year-on-year change, median rent per square metre from Ejari contracts and the resulting gross yield. Click any column header to sort — for example by yield to find where rental returns are highest, or by year-on-year change to see where prices are cooling.
Reading the table
Areas are DLD cadastral districts mapped to the community names used on this site; each name links to the area page with building-level statistics, live listings and projects. Prices are medians of actual transactions, not asking prices. Yield is gross: annual rent per m² divided by sale price per m², before service charges.
