How we calculate these figures
Sales are Dubai Land Department transactions in the group Sales, by registration date; value is the registered price in AED. Price per sq ft is the median of price divided by registered area, only for areas above 10 m² (1 m² = 10.7639 sq ft); land plots are excluded from all prices per sq ft except their own row. Price changes are shown only for the same property type with at least 30 sales on each side; area price comparisons use ready apartments over 4 weeks. Ready and off-plan follow the registration type; apartments are flats, and commercial and other covers offices, shops, hotel rooms, hotel apartments and whole buildings. Mortgages and gifts are all registrations in those groups. Price bands use the registered sale value. Leases are Ejari rent contracts by contract start date, counted once per contract. Residential rent is the annual amount of contracts with residential use. Ejari contracts are often registered after they start, renewals in particular up to about two months later. For a month that ended less than two months before the data date, renewals and figures over all leases (totals, median rents) are therefore provisional: they are marked as such and not compared; new leases, which are registered within days, are compared as usual. Gross yield is the median annual rent per sq ft of apartment leases (flats and studios for residential use; villas are not counted) divided by the median sale price per sq ft of ready apartments in the same area, over the 12 months to 31 Oct 2026, by the same rule as the area pages on our website: each lease and sale is taken per sq ft to the fils, the median is the middle value (for an even number, the lower middle value), records that the data quality rules mark as outliers are left out, and only areas with at least 30 of each are shown. It is before service charges and other costs. Valuations are property valuation records by date. Indices are shown as published by the Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment, with the latest period available. Comparisons are with the previous month and the same month a year earlier. Areas are Dubai Land Department districts. Every figure is based on at least 3 records; values from fewer records are not shown. Percentage changes of counts need at least 30 records in the comparison period; with fewer, the entry is marked “new” (new or little activity, no meaningful % change), and changes above +300% are shown as “>+300%”. Figures for recent periods can change when late registrations arrive. Site plan requests: map requests registered with the Dubai Land Department, counted per request by request date; they usually come before a sale or mortgage is registered and serve as an early indicator. (Data: Dubai Land Department open data (map requests).) Residential sale price index: monthly index values as published by the Dubai Land Department for all residential units, apartments and villas; the change compares with the same month a year earlier. (Data: Dubai Land Department open data (residential sale index).) Commercial property price index (2019 = 100): quarterly values as published by the Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment; the change compares with the same quarter a year earlier. (Data: Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment open data (commercial property price index).) Real estate activities: yearly economic indicators of the sector (output, value added, employees and others) as published by the Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment, in the units of the source; the change compares with the previous year. (Data: Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment open data (economic indicators of real estate activities).) Household income: average annual income per household from all sources (total) in the household expenditure survey of the Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment; together with spending on housing it shows affordability. (Data: Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment open data (household expenditure survey, income).) Housing spending: average annual household spending on housing, water, electricity, gas and fuels (without imputed rent) in the same survey. (Data: Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment open data (household expenditure survey, expenditure).) Land register by area: plots in the Dubai Land Department land register by area of the Dubai Land Department at the date of the register, areas with at least 3 plots; freehold share = plots marked as freehold. (Data: Dubai Land Department open data (land register).) Population: estimated population of Dubai as the sum of the estimates for all communities published by the Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment for the year; the change compares with the year before. (Data: Dubai Data and Statistics Establishment open data (estimated population by community).)
Community names (for example Jumeirah Village Circle) are Zolia's own mapping of Dubai Land Department districts to the master project with the most sales over the last 24 months; the official district name is shown below each one. Districts without one clear community keep their official name.
