Methodology

Gross yield = median Ejari NEW residential rent AED/sqm ÷ median real DLD sale AED/sqm × 100, per community. Renewed contracts excluded (rent-cap suppressed); seed data never counts; communities below the minimum sample floors are omitted, not guessed.

Gross yield = annual rent per sqm ÷ sale price per sqm, matched within the same community and window. Rent evidence comes from registered Ejari contracts; sale evidence from DLD transactions. Yield is gross — before service charges, management fees, and vacancy. This is a data tool, not investment advice.
