All rankings

Dubai apartment prices, ten years The pooled median is AED 1,726 per sq ft; like for like, the typical building’s ready price moved +2.2% on a year

Median sale price per sq ft, month by month. The band along the bottom is monthly transaction volume.

Gross yield divides the median annual rent from new registered Ejari contracts starting in the last 12 months by the median price of the building’s registered sales in the last 12 months (at least 3 sales) for the same bedroom type, with ready and off-plan sales counted alike. The new-tenant rent premium compares those new contracts against the 223,439 renewals registered over the same window; renewal rents are capped by RERA and sit below market. Short-term rates are sampled Airbnb asking rates, not registered records, and carry a stated occupancy assumption on every page that uses them.
