Prices and yields in Dubai, district by district.
For every Dubai area: the median price per sqft, market activity and off-plan share, from real Dubai Land Department data — not estimates. And, on request, the ranking of yields on the launch price: where early buyers earned the most.
Which Dubai areas yield the most?
The highest yield is measured on the off-plan entry price, not on today's prices: across already-delivered Dubai projects the gross yield on the launch price reaches double digits in several areas. Below you'll find prices and activity for each district, on official DLD data; the full ranking of yields by area I send by email.

Frequently asked
Which Dubai areas yield the most?
It depends on the entry price: the yield on the off-plan launch price is higher than the one computed on existing stock, and across already-delivered projects it reaches double digits in several areas. The full ranking by area, on real DLD data, I send by email on request.
How is the yield on the launch price calculated?
It's the current rent divided by the off-plan launch price of already-delivered projects in the area. Computed on the entry price rather than today's, it is higher than the market yield. These are real historical figures, not promises.
What is the average price per square metre in Dubai?
It varies widely by area: the table shows the median price registered in the last 30 days for each district, on the prevalent property type. Source: Dubai Land Department.
