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.
