Deltas compare each yield with the Dubai Marina 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.

Off-plan vs resale

Units sold off-plan in 52|42 Tower 1 between 2016 and 2022 went for a median of AED 1,929/sqft (AED 2.18M). The same building resells today at AED 3,099/sqft (AED 3.42M) — an uplift of +56.8%.

Based on 315 off-plan sales across the building's full history.

Why this uses the full history
