Gross rental yields by community
Data through 22 Oct 2026 · registered Ejari rents against registered sales · trailing 12 months Oct 2025 – Sep 2026 · rebuilt daily
Gross rental yields are published for 75 Dubai communities, led by Al Barari at 8.83%. Each yield is computed inside matched home types — a two-bedroom flat's registered rent against a two-bedroom flat's registered ready price, never a villa rent against a studio price — and the community figure is the median across those matched types. A type counts only with 15+ tenancy contracts and 15+ ready sales. These are gross: service charges, vacancy, agency fees and transaction costs are not deducted.

What these numbers do not show
- Net return. Service charges alone run 10–25 AED per square foot a year in Dubai and are not deducted here; neither are vacancy, agency fees, DLD transfer costs or financing.
- Your yield. These are medians of matched home types across a whole community; a specific flat, floor and view will differ.
- Off-plan. Yields use ready homes only, because an unbuilt home earns no rent.
- Communities where the sample is too thin — they are simply absent from this table rather than shown with an unreliable number.
