Common questions

What is the rental yield in Elite Residence?
Elite Residence returns 6.3% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 81,000 a year (132 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 1.27M (median of 21 sales in the last 12 months, latest Oct 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
How much does a 1 bedroom in Elite Residence cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 1.27M (1,562 AED/sqft), from 21 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
What are apartments in Elite Residence selling for right now?
Registered sales of ready units in Elite Residence over the last 12 months have a median of 1,562 AED/sqft, across 21 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 Elite Residence risen or fallen?
Median price per square foot moved +9.3% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 21 sales with a price per square foot. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
How does Elite Residence compare with Dubai Marina?
Its 6.3% gross yield sits +0.5 pts against the Dubai Marina median of 5.8%, 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.
