Planned as a share of homes let today

Planned units ÷ registered tenancies in force

    100% means as many new homes are planned as are let today. Types with fewer than 100 homes let are left out. Sources: DLD unit register, Ejari.

    How the pressure has moved

    Each point is one monthly report: the same measure, recomputed for that month's end.

    Planned supply as a share of homes let

    Method and limits

    Planned supply is every apartment unit in a project the Land Department register lists as neither complete nor cancelled, placed by its registered completion date and counted against today. Homes let today are the registered Ejari tenancies in force on the data date. A planned date is the developer's, not a delivery forecast; completions slip, and some homes are owner-occupied or let short-term.

    Why tenancies and not the register: the unit register only reaches back to recently registered projects, so it misses most of the homes standing today. Ejari records every registered lease with its start and end. Full methodology
