Enter a budget to see districts and apartment types where the 12-month median deal (latest month: September 2026) is at or below it — so at least half of the deals of that type closed at that price or less. For example, AED 1M (deal price only, before buying costs) covers Studio — Dubai South Residential District (AED 545k); Studio — Al Furjan (AED 552k); Studio — Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) (AED 710k).

Yields are gross: median annual rent over median price from DLD open data for 12 months, before service charges, vacancy and fees. A historical reference, not a guaranteed return.
A median is the middle of the market for a district and type, not the price of a specific property; any budget has cheaper and pricier options.

From 12-month DLD median deals (latest month: September 2026) with a deal price within AED 1M (before buying costs of roughly 6–7% on top): Studio — Dubai South Residential District (AED 545k); Studio — Al Furjan (AED 552k); Studio — Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) (AED 710k). A median means at least half of the deals of that type in the district closed at that price or less.
Among options with a median deal up to AED 1.5M, the highest 12-month gross yields are: Studio — Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) (AED 710k, 7.8%); 1 bedroom — Dubai South Residential District (AED 1.03M, 7.2%); 1 bedroom — Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) (AED 1.12M, 7.0%). These are historical gross figures before costs, vacancy and fees, not a guaranteed return.
Yes: the median is the middle of the market, so roughly half of the deals for that district and type closed at a lower price. The price depends on the building, floor, view, condition and whether it is ready or off-plan; a broker matches specific options to your budget.
