Questions
Business Bay — questions
What is the rental yield in Business Bay?
Business Bay has a gross rental yield of 4.57%, computed from 3696 real Ejari rent contracts against 3249 real DLD dwelling sales, per square metre. It is gross, not net — service charges are not deducted.
Are property prices falling in Business Bay?
Resale prices fell 4.4% over the last 90 days versus the 90 before, measured on median AED per square metre of real DLD resale transactions (389 sales then, 547 now). Off-plan launches are excluded — developer pricing would move the median without any existing home re-pricing.
Where does this data come from?
Dubai Land Department transaction records and Ejari rent contracts — Dubai's official open data. Rents are new residential contracts only (renewals are rent-cap suppressed below market). Sales are built dwellings only (land plots and whole-building sales have a different price-per-sqm basis). Nothing here is an estimate.
Do you list properties for sale here?
No. We show real transactions — what actually sold. Listings are the portals' own data and we do not copy them; the links on this page open their live search for this community.
