Dubai market data: price per sqft, rent and net yield
Every community and unit size in one sortable table, with net yield calculated on the same assumptions so the comparison is fair.
Official registry data
Real Dubai transactions and rent contracts
Median prices from 38,687 registered residential sales (12 Jun 2026 – 12 Sept 2026) and median rents from 71,769 registered tenancy contracts (22 Aug 2026 – 12 Sept 2026), published by the Dubai Land Department. Gross yield compares rent per sqft with sale price per sqft, so unit-size mix does not distort it.

Communities appear once the registry holds at least 100 sales and 100 tenancy contracts in the period, so medians are meaningful. Official sector names are shown under common community names where they differ. Gross yield is before service charges and running costs.

How net yield is calculated
Net yield here deducts service charges at the building rate, 2 weeks of vacancy per year, 5% management and 5% maintenance from the annual rent, then divides the remainder by the purchase price. No mortgage is assumed. Prices, rents and service charges are indicative community benchmarks — run the calculator with the actual figures for a specific unit.
