Registered rents
Median registered annual rent in Dubai Creek Harbour by bedroom, from Ejari rent contracts registered with the Dubai Land Department in the last 12 months: what tenants actually signed for, not asking rents. Gross yield is that median against the median registered sale price of the same bedroom count over the same months.
Apartments: median AED 95,000 a year across 11,441 registered contracts.
51% of these contracts are renewals; 93% run the standard 12 months.
Rent or buy? The arithmetic
For 2-bed apartments: the median registered sale price is AED 2,617,500, which is 23.8 years of the median registered rent (AED 110,000 a year). Buying needs about AED 628,200 in cash up front (a 20% deposit plus the 4% DLD transfer fee), which is 5.7 years of that rent.
