Dubai communities ranked by gross rental yield, computed from registered Ejari rent contracts against registered sale prices. Takes a minimum number of 12-month sales so a thin market cannot top the list.

The median registered price per square foot in a Dubai community SPLIT by whether the home was ready or off-plan, and by whether it is an apartment or a villa. Use this instead of a single median whenever the question is what something costs to buy, because 74% of Dubai home sales are off-plan and a blended figure is therefore mostly an off-plan price: on Palm Jumeirah the blend is about 3,645 AED/sqft against a ready market near 2,790 and an off-plan market near 5,483. PropertyIndex publishes an off-plan to ready ratio behind a paid tier; this returns the actual prices on both sides, free.

Whether a named broker currently holds a licence on the Dubai Land Department register, their broker number, their company, and how many transactions the register attributes to them. A transaction count is a record of what the register attributes, not a measure of anyone: it is blank for the newly licensed and for anyone transacting under a colleague's number.
