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.

Short-let rates around Marwa Heights

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”.

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.

1 bed: first Oct 2026, 0.58 AED/night/sqft; latest Sep 2027, 0.49 AED/night/sqft; peak Jan 2027, 0.76 AED/night/sqft.

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 Marwa Heights itself had too few listings of that type to measure.

Off-plan vs resale

Units sold off-plan in Marwa Heights between 2022 and 2025 went for a median of AED 1,000/sqft (AED 853,874). The same building resells today at AED 1,151/sqft (AED 947,500) — an uplift of +11.3%.

Based on 117 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.

What is the rental yield in Marwa Heights?
Marwa Heights returns 9.41% gross — median annual rent from new Ejari contracts over the median resale price, before service charge, agency fees or vacant months. Measured across 27 rental contracts registered in the last 24 months.
How much does a studio in Marwa Heights cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 525,000 (1,264 AED/sqft), from 15 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 24 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
What are apartments in Marwa Heights selling for right now?
Registered sales of ready units in Marwa Heights over the last 6 months have a median of 1,264 AED/sqft, across 5 sales. That is the freshest window holding at least five, and it excludes off-plan. It is a median of what traded, not a valuation of a specific unit — floor, view and condition all move a real price and none of them is in it.
Have prices in Marwa Heights risen or fallen?
Median price per square foot moved +0.2% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 15 registered sales. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
How does Marwa Heights compare with Jumeirah Village Circle?
Its 9.41% gross yield sits +1.0 pts against the Jumeirah Village Circle median of 8.43%, computed at the same bedroom grain over the same 24-month window.

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.
