Last 12 months. Medians of at least 5 registered sales or new rent contracts; the median price of all sales mixes ready and off-plan. Gross yield is the median new yearly rent over the ready median price, shown where a home type has at least 10 ready sales and 5 new rents (“rent only” otherwise), before service charges and other costs.

Median service charge
13.49 AED/sqftA year · median of 32 developments’ owners’ association budgets, 2026Apartment buildings’ budgets; villa and townhouse budgets are left out.

After service charges

Net yield, Apartment · 1 bed: 7.9% after the area’s median service charge (AED 13.49 per sq ft a year, 2026, budgets of 32 developments). Gross yield: 10%.

Net yield takes the service charge off the rent. It is still before vacancy, maintenance, agency and DLD fees and mortgage costs, and an owners’ association budget is not any one owner’s bill. How net yield is worked out

Net yield for every home type and every project is in the area report

Off-plan or ready.

Off-plan premium, same home type

Apartment · 1 bed: off-plan homes sold at 83% above ready ones per sq ft in the last 12 months (1,149 AED/sqft against 628 AED/sqft, medians of 757 and 722 sales).

Same home type, not the same buildings: off-plan stock is often newer, so the gap is not a forecast of resale prices. Not investment advice. How this is worked out

The middle half of prices

Middle half of Apartment · 1 bed · Off-plan sales: AED 1,051–1,392 per sq ft (AED 822,000–926,000), 757 sales in the last 12 months. The full spread by home type is in the area report.

A quarter of these sales were below the band and a quarter above it. Registered sales, not a valuation. How this is worked out
