Source and methodology
Source: Dubai Land Department open data aggregated by Dubai Data (datadubai.ae; dataset credit required by its CC BY 4.0 licence: Continental Club Property), licensed CC BY 4.0. Sales are all registered residential sales in the community for the month, off-plan included. Price per sq ft is the median for apartments, villas, hotel apartments and townhouses (land plots and whole buildings excluded), with outliers outside the 1st–99th percentiles removed; with fewer than 20 sales the median is not shown. Yields are gross (before costs, vacancy and fees). Year-on-year comparisons can be distorted by a changing mix of deals (for example the off-plan share in new towers) and by re-mapped communities in DLD data. Community boundaries follow DLD data and may differ from the everyday name of the area. Not an official DLD product; figures are frozen on the publication date.
