How Rental Yield Is Calculated
Annual Rental Yield (%) = (Average Annual Rent / Average Sale Price) × 100- Average Annual Rent: Mean of all Ejari-registered rental contracts in the area for the trailing 12 months.
- Average Sale Price: Mean of all DLD-recorded sale transactions in the area for the trailing 12 months.
- Data Source: Dubai Land Department (DLD) open registries and Ejari rental contract database.
- Exclusions: Areas with fewer than 10 rental contracts or 10 sale transactions are excluded from the yield calculation to ensure statistical significance.
