Deltas compare each yield with the Production 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 Dania 3

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, 0.86 AED/night/sqft; latest Aug 2027, 0.78 AED/night/sqft; peak Dec 2026, 1.21 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 Dania 3 itself had too few listings of that type to measure.

Off-plan vs resale

Units sold off-plan in Dania 3 between 2017 and 2020 went for a median of AED 1,108/sqft (AED 694,828). The same building resells today at AED 1,214/sqft (AED 730,000) — an uplift of +5.1%.

Based on 101 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.

Common questions

What is the rental yield in Dania 3?
Dania 3 returns 7.83% gross — median annual rent from new Ejari contracts over the median resale price, before service charge, agency fees or vacant months. Measured across 227 rental contracts registered in the last 24 months.
How much does a 1 bedroom in Dania 3 cost?
The median registered sale price is AED 792,500 (1,207 AED/sqft), from 20 Dubai Land Department sales in the last 24 months. This is a price paid, not an asking price.
Have prices in Dania 3 risen or fallen?
Median price per square foot moved +2.6% over the last 12 months against the 12 before it, on 20 registered sales. On a sample this size, read the direction rather than the exact figure.
Does Dania 3 earn more short-let than long-let?
A night asks a median of AED 520, which models to 14.80% net at an assumed 80% occupancy for a self-managed unit, after platform fees, cleaning and utilities — against 7.83% gross on the registered long lease. Nightly rates are asking rates sampled across the next 12 months, not registered income.
Do new tenants in Dania 3 pay more than sitting ones?
A new tenant pays +8.3% against a renewing one, across 158 renewal contracts in the last 24 months. Renewals are capped by RERA and sit below market, so a wide gap means rent that is below market until the unit changes hands.

Source: Dubai Land Department open data — sale transactions and Ejari rental contracts. Data as of 2026-08-26. Short-let rates are collected separately from public Airbnb search results.

Gross yield divides median annual rent from new contracts by the median resale price for the same bedroom type over the last 24 months. Off-plan sales are included in price and trend figures but excluded from the yield denominator.

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.
