Deltas compare each yield with the Motor City 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 Shakespeare Sircus 1

    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”.

    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 Shakespeare Sircus 1 itself had too few listings of that type to measure.

    How much does a 1 bedroom in Shakespeare Sircus 1 cost?
    The median registered sale price is AED 900,000 (930 AED/sqft), from 30 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 24 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
    What are apartments in Shakespeare Sircus 1 selling for right now?
    Registered sales of ready units in Shakespeare Sircus 1 over the last 6 months have a median of 917 AED/sqft, across 7 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 Shakespeare Sircus 1 risen or fallen?
    Median price per square foot moved +6.5% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 30 registered sales. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
    Does Shakespeare Sircus 1 earn more short-let than long-let?
    A night asks a median of AED 513, which models to 12.26% net at an assumed 80% occupancy for a self-managed unit, after platform fees, cleaning and utilities. Nightly rates are asking rates sampled across the next 12 months, not registered income.

    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.
