Common questions
- What is the rental yield in Clayton Residency?
- Clayton Residency returns 7.2% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 72,000 a year (40 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 1.00M (median of 8 sales in the last 12 months, latest Jul 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
- How much does a 1 bedroom in Clayton Residency cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 1.00M (1,196 AED/sqft), from 8 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- What are apartments in Clayton Residency selling for right now?
- Registered sales of ready units in Clayton Residency over the last 12 months have a median of 1,196 AED/sqft, across 8 sales. That uses the same trailing year as the rent and yield figures, requires at least five sales, and excludes off-plan. Floor, view and condition move a specific unit's price around it.
- Have prices in Clayton Residency risen or fallen?
- Median price per square foot moved -15.3% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 8 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
- How does Clayton Residency compare with Business Bay?
- Its 7.2% gross yield sits +0.6 pts against the Business Bay median of 6.6%, computed the same way at the same bedroom grain. 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.
