A shortlist of fifteen communities, not the whole market. Al Yelayiss 1 and City of Arabia had large off-plan volumes in 2026 and are not profiled here. Figures are registered DLD sales: price per sq ft, how much is selling, how much of it is off-plan, and ready-flat gross yield from new leases.
Rental yield by area, ranked → How to check an asking price →
Each bubble is one area. Further left is a cheaper ready flat. Higher up means the yearly rent is a larger share of the price, before service charge. Bigger bubbles had more registered sales in 2026. Click a bubble to open the area.
Sort any column. “—” means the figure is not published. For Majan and Dubailand Residence Complex the rent is blank because Ejari uses a wider land-area name, not because there were no leases.

* Where off-plan is 50% or more of 2026 sales, the cell leads with the gross yield at the median sale price and shows the ready-flat yield second. Otherwise it is the ready-flat yield: median new-lease rent per sq ft ÷ median ready-flat sale price per sq ft, before service charge, vacancy and fees. “Ready-flat change Q1→Q3” compares Jul–Sep with Jan–Mar 2026 where each quarter has 50+ ready sales. A move of 15% or more is which buildings sold, not a price index. Service charges are not in DLD open data. Where a yield is shown, the area note states what an AED 15/sqft charge, the midpoint of a typical AED 10–25 band, would take off that yield. The column stays blank because that is not a Mollak reading. Majan and Dubailand Residence Complex show “Rent for this land name is not split yet”. Dubai Islands shows “All 2026 sales are off-plan, so there is no ready yield”.
Each profile has monthly prices, sales, price bands and the latest registered sales.
