Gross yields run from 1.6% in Emirates Hills to 8.9% in Jebel Ali Free Zone. Jebel Ali Free Zone, Rukan, International City, Dubai Studio City and International City Phase 2 & 3 sit at 7% or more. Yields are gross: the typical rent per square foot over the typical sale price per square foot of the same area, before service charges, which run from a few dirhams to above AED 30 per sqft a year. Citywide, the figure is 6.2%.

How the index is built
The index
The YallaValue Dubai Price Index is a stratified median index of resales. Each month's registered resales are grouped by community, apartment or villa, off-plan or completed, and bedrooms; the median price per square foot of each group is compared with the same group a month earlier; the changes are combined with weights from the previous three years' sales and chained. The index follows what homes resell for, not the mix of what happened to sell. Developer first registrations are left out. January 2013 = 100; the series runs from January 2009; the published series is a three-month window.
Prices and sales
Every other price on this page is a plain median of the sales registered with the DLD over a window: the last 12 months, the 12 before, the 12 ending five years earlier. Counts are counts. Off-plan and completed sales both count; mortgages, gifts and commercial units do not. The city-wide figures cover the whole register; the area and building tables cover the sales matched to the buildings and units behind YallaValue's pages, most of the city but not all of it.
Buildings
The median price per sqft of the sales registered in each building over the period, against the period before. A building appears in the movers only with at least ten sales in each of the two periods; no figure on this page is estimated or modelled.
Rents and yields
The median of the Ejari contracts registered each month, new and renewal, per square foot of the home. A yield is the typical rent per square foot over the typical sale price per square foot of the same area or type, gross of service charges. Published on the 3rd of each month for the month before.

Where do the figures come from?
Every sale and rental contract registered with the Dubai Land Department: sales from the DLD transaction register, rents from Ejari. The release for a month is published on the 3rd of the month after; the whole series is recomputed each time, so late registrations revise the recent months.
How is a building's change measured?
By the median price per square foot of the sales registered in the building over the period, against the period before. A building is listed in the movers only with at least ten sales in each of the two periods; the rest are left out rather than estimated. Nothing on this page is a valuation.
Can I quote or republish these figures?
Yes. The figures, charts and files are free to use with a credit to YallaValue and a link to this page (CC BY 4.0). Journalists can get the release by email on the 3rd of each month, with the month's changes in one paragraph.
