What do the figures mean?
- Median price
- The middle sale price once all sales are ranked: half of sales were above it and half below. Used instead of the average so a few very large sales don't distort the figure.
- Price per sq ft
- Sale price divided by the registered area in square feet, then the median across sales. Reported for apartments; villa records often carry the plot size, so villas are reported per home.
- Off-plan and ready
- Off-plan sales are homes sold before completion; ready sales are completed homes, including owner resales and developers' completed stock.
- Sub-community and building
- Where DLD records a home: a sub-community for villas and townhouses (for example Raya in Arabian Ranches 3), a building for apartments, or the project name for off-plan homes.
- Ejari
- Dubai's official lease registration system. Rents here are new Ejari leases registered in the period; renewals are counted separately.
- Gross rental yield
- Median new annual rent divided by the median ready sale price, before costs. Shown only between 3% and 12%; outside that range the pairing reflects data errors rather than a yield.
- DLD area and community
- The Dubai Land Department records sales and leases by official area, which can differ from the name people use. Each report names the DLD areas it covers.
- ⚠ Small sample
- A figure based on fewer than 30 sales or leases. It is shown, but can move a lot from period to period.
