What these numbers do not show
- Net yield. Service charges, vacancy between tenants, management and transaction costs are not deducted.
- The return on one particular home. Rents and sales here are different properties; these are area medians, not the same unit.
- Mortgage payments or the tax consequences of ownership.
- Quality within an area: the building and the view do not enter a cadastral name.
Gross yield here is the median annual rent per square metre divided by the median sale price of the same square metre, both over the same 12 months. Sales are DLD transactions for apartments and villas; rents are Ejari contracts. An area enters the table when it has at least 200 sales and at least 200 contracts. This is GROSS yield: service charges, vacancy between tenants and management costs are not deducted, so the net figure is materially lower.
Data: Dubai Land Department transaction registry and Ejari tenancy contracts. Sample: 330 633 tenancy contracts and 148 898 sales across 52 areas. Yield is gross: service charges, vacancy and transaction costs are not deducted. Updated 2026-10-24. Free to reuse with attribution to Continental Club Property (CC BY 4.0). Methodology ↗
