Deltas compare each yield with the Jumeirah Village Circle 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.

2 bed: Priced off the last 5 sales — most recent March 2025.

Short-let rates around LAYA Mansion

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”.

Type	Nightly (AED)	AED/night/sqft	Net revenue at 80%	Long-let rent	Uplift	Short-let yield	Listings seen
Studio500m	397	0.91	AED 90,539	AED 51,300	1.8×	16.69%	11+
1 bed500m	489	0.60	AED 106,877	AED 74,000	1.4×	13.36%	46+
2 bed500m	662	0.44	AED 137,950	AED 105,000	1.3×	11.04%	4+

Nightly rate per sqft through the year

Median nightly rate per sqft by month of stay. Smaller, fainter points rest on fewer listings. Per-sqft puts different bedroom types on the same axis.

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 LAYA Mansion itself had too few listings of that type to measure.

Off-plan vs resale

Units sold off-plan in LAYA Mansion between 2019 and 2020 went for a median of AED 1,071/sqft (AED 490,000). The same building resells today at AED 1,172/sqft (AED 560,000) — an uplift of +14.3%.

Based on 69 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.
