Common questions
- What is the registered annual rent for a 1 bedroom in Shams?
- The median new annual rent is AED 51,500, from 14 Ejari contracts in the trailing 12 months to 2026-10-12. These contracts cover the project, not this tower alone. Compare the same bedroom type; floor, view and condition can change an individual rent.
- Have registered rents in Shams risen or fallen?
- The median new annual rent changed +7.3% in the trailing 12 months against the previous 12, using 14 new Ejari contracts in the current period to 2026-10-12. Different homes can appear in the two periods; this is not the change on an individual tenancy.
- Do new tenants in Shams pay more than sitting ones?
- A new tenant pays +21.6% against a renewing one, across 12 renewal contracts in the last 12 months. This compares different new and renewal contract groups, not the same tenancy before and after a move. It is not a permitted rent increase or a guaranteed gain.
- How many apartments change hands in Shams?
- 5 sales were registered with the Dubai Land Department in the last 12 months, alongside 14 Ejari rental contracts. Every median on this page rests on those counts.
- What is the rental yield in Shams?
- Shams returns 9.5% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 51,500 a year (14 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 540,000 (median of 5 sales in the last 12 months, latest Sept 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
