Not enough data: Studio (under 3 sales and under 3 rent contracts each).

Without a bedroom count in the DLD data: 541 sales and under 3 rent contracts (villas, whole buildings, land, offices and shops). They count in all figures above and in the table by property type.

Gross yield by unit type: median annual rent per sq ft divided by the median price per sq ft of ready properties. The price columns also include off-plan sales, so dividing them by the rent gives a different number.
