Not ranked: 1 area without a valid value
	Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City	parts lie in larger DLD areas (Al Merkadh, Wadi Al Safa 3, Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid)

Areas without a valid value follow the ranking with the reason, never with a number. “Under 3”: fewer than 3 registered records, so no figure is shown (no figures from single transactions). Gross yield needs enough ready apartment sales and apartment rent contracts in the same months.

A ranking of registered figures only, not a recommendation to buy, sell or invest.
