## What this index is

Dubai building records connecting registered sales and rents with forward Airbnb asking rates. Every price and rent here is a median of registered records, Dubai Land Department sale transactions and Ejari rental contracts, not an asking price. Short-term rates are public Airbnb asking rates, annualised under a published and stated occupancy assumption.

- 3,680 apartment buildings with a 12-month sale record, across 92 areas
- 993,569 registered sale transactions and 365,233 registered rental contracts behind the medians
- 1,534 buildings with forward short-term pricing
- Median gross yield across published buildings: 6.7%
