Rent or buy? The arithmetic

For 1-bed apartments: the median registered sale price is AED 617,500, which is 12.1 years of the median registered rent (AED 51,000 a year). Buying needs about AED 148,200 in cash up front (a 20% deposit plus the 4% DLD transfer fee), which is 2.9 years of that rent.

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 →
