Common questions
- What is the rental yield in Glitz Residence 2?
- Glitz Residence 2 returns 8.1% gross: a median new-contract rent of AED 43,000 a year (13 Ejari contracts in 12 months) over a price benchmark of AED 530,000 (median of 3 sales in the last 12 months, latest Jul 2026), before service charge, agency fees or vacant months.
- How much does a studio in Glitz Residence 2 cost?
- The median registered sale price is AED 530,000 (1,102 AED/sqft), from 3 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 12 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
- How does Glitz Residence 2 compare with Dubai Studio City?
- Its 8.1% gross yield sits -0.1 pts against the Dubai Studio City median of 8.2%, 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.
- What is the registered annual rent for a studio in Glitz Residence 2?
- The median new annual rent is AED 43,000, from 13 Ejari contracts in the trailing 12 months to 2026-10-12. The evidence is recorded for this building. Compare the same bedroom type; floor, view and condition can change an individual rent.
- Have registered rents in Glitz Residence 2 risen or fallen?
- The median new annual rent changed -4.4% in the trailing 12 months against the previous 12, using 13 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.
