Methodology

How This Data is Calculated

All figures on this page are derived from transactions recorded by the Dubai Land Department. iRealEstate.ae processes, cleans, trims, and groups this data by area, property type, and bedroom count. Ranges use trimmed percentiles to exclude outliers. Data is updated quarterly. Source: Dubai Land Department transaction data, analyzed by iRealEstate.ae.

Transaction-Based Pricing

All price figures reflect recorded transactions, not listings. Trimmed percentile ranges exclude extreme outliers for realistic budget bands.

Rental Yield

Annual rent divided by purchase price, grouped by area, property type, and bedroom count. Gross yield; does not account for service charges or vacancy.

Capital Appreciation

Median price per sqft compared across two consecutive 12-month periods. Mix shifts between luxury and mid-market can affect the result.

Why Medians Shift

Transaction mix changes period to period. One quarter may skew luxury, another mid-market. The median captures the center, not the full distribution.
