Rent or buy? The arithmetic

For 1-bed apartments: the median registered sale price is AED 720,000, which is 13.1 years of the median registered rent (AED 54,976 a year). Buying needs about AED 172,800 in cash up front (a 20% deposit plus the 4% DLD transfer fee), which is 3.1 years of that rent.

Medians of different homes, not one flat priced both ways. Leaves out mortgage interest, service charges, agency fees and price changes. Run your own numbers →

Registered = DLD/Ejari rent contracts (single-property, ≤ AED 2M a year); a figure needs at least 20 contracts, and a yield at least 20 registered sales too. Gross = before service charges, fees and vacancy. How we read rents →
