Medians, not averages: half the sales are above the figure and half below. A change needs 30 or more sales in both periods (with a size on record, for a price per sqft); with fewer it shows a dash. Gross yield is the median yearly rent per sqft of new leases (all leases when there are fewer than 100 new ones) over the median price per sqft of ready homes (30 or more sales with a size on record): rents over the 12 months to the last month whose lease records are complete, sales over the past 12 months.

Rents are the median yearly rent of new leases in the 12 months to 30 Sept 2026 (all leases when fewer than 100 new ones have a size on record); gross yield is the median rent per sqft over the median price per sqft of ready homes in the past 12 months (30 or more sales with a size on record). A rent shows a dash with fewer than 100 leases with a size on record; a gross yield, with fewer than 100 such leases or 30 ready sales with a size on record. Lease records for the months after 30 Sept 2026 aren't complete yet, so those months are left out.

How the figures are built
- Sales are the land register's sales of flats, villas, hotel apartments and stacked townhouses, and of residential villas recorded without a sub-type. A villa recorded without its sub-type counts in sales, values and median prices, but not in price per sqft or size, because its recorded area is the plot.
- A sale recorded twice counts once, on its newer date. A sale is left out when its price per sqft is below a tenth or over 25 times the city's median for its type and year; when its price is a fifth or less, or 5 times or more, of the median price of similar sales in its project (same bedrooms and year, at least 10 of them); when it has no unit area and no such similar sales, and its price reaches AED 2 billion (or 25 times the city's median price per sqft over the past year across 43,056 sqft, if that is more); or when its area is 10 times the usual for its type and bedrooms or more and its price 20 times the median for its type, bedrooms and year or more (a whole building's area and price).
- When a sale's recorded area is 10 times the usual size for its type and bedrooms or more, it isn't the unit's: the sale counts in sales, values and median prices, but not in price per sqft or size.
- Prices are medians: half the sales are above and half below. A median price per sqft needs 30 or more sales with a size on record; a change needs 30 or more sales in both periods (with a size on record, for a price per sqft). With fewer they show in grey or as a dash.
- Rents come from registered leases; a lease covering several units counts once, as its average unit. The newest months' lease records are never complete, so rents run to the last month with at least 85% of the leases of the median month in the 12 before it, not to the newest sale. Gross yield is the median rent per sqft of new leases (all leases when fewer than 100 new ones have a size on record) in the 12 months to that month, over the median price per sqft of ready homes (30 or more sales with a size on record) in the past 12 months.
