Deltas compare each yield with the Dubai Hills Estate median for the same unit type. How these yields are computed

How these yields are computed
Each yield divides the median rent by the median of the last 3 months of sales — or of the last 5 sales where the last 3 months hold fewer than three. Off-plan and ready sales count alike, and each bedroom type is priced off its own sales.

Short-let rates around Elvira 1

Median nightly rate on Airbnb for a 7-night stay, priced across the coming year.

How short-let rates are measured
Rates are sampled for every month of the coming year, so the figure carries the full season rather than a winter or summer slice. Listing counts are what those searches returned on the first page — a floor on what the building actually lists, not a count of it. Airbnb publishes approximate coordinates, so even the tightest set — listings within 50 metres — is the building and its immediate neighbours. Where that set is too small to measure a bedroom type, the row widens to the surrounding 500-metre cluster and is marked “500m”.

Net revenue assumes 80% occupancy — an assumption, not a measurement.

What the net revenue deducts
Occupancy is an assumption because no Dubai source publishes it per building — at half the occupancy, halve the revenue and the yield. From the nightly rate a guest sees, net revenue deducts Airbnb's 15.5% fee, then cleaning at 2 turnovers a month and utilities, both scaled to the unit's measured floor area. Service charge and mortgage are deliberately not deducted: neither comes out of the long-let rent beside it, and a service charge is owed whichever way the unit is let, so taking it off one side only would break the comparison. Neither figure is net of income tax or furnishing. Rows marked 500m widen to the surrounding cluster, because Elvira 1 itself had too few listings of that type to measure.

Off-plan vs resale

Units sold off-plan in Elvira 1 between 2023 and 2026 went for a median of AED 2,026/sqft (AED 2.12M). The same building resells today at AED 2,297/sqft (AED 2.29M) — an uplift of +24.8%.

Based on 568 off-plan sales across the building's full history.

Why this uses the full history
This comparison is deliberately not restricted to the 24-month window used elsewhere on the page — off-plan launches mostly predate it, so the window would erase the sales being compared.

Common questions

How much does a 1 bedroom in Elvira 1 cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 1.58M (2,250 AED/sqft), from 43 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 24 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
Have prices in Elvira 1 risen or fallen?
Median price per square foot moved +14.2% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 43 registered sales. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
Does Elvira 1 earn more short-let than long-let?
A night asks a median of AED 701, which models to 10.20% net at an assumed 80% occupancy for a self-managed unit, after platform fees, cleaning and utilities. Nightly rates are asking rates sampled across the next 12 months, not registered income.
Did off-plan buyers in Elvira 1 make money?
Units bought off-plan between 2023 and 2026 later resold +22.1% against their launch median. Only units that actually resold can appear, so this figure skews toward the ones that performed.
How many apartments change hands in Elvira 1?
43 sales were registered with the Dubai Land Department in the last 24 months. Every median on this page rests on those counts.

Where this data stops

Service charges are not in DLD's open data, so the yield above is gross. Net return needs this building's charge per sqft.
