Methodology

Figures on this page are computed from official Dubai Land Department sale registrations for The World, residential transactions only. Off-plan and ready properties are reported separately and never blended into one figure. Sales priced outside AED 50–25,000/sqft, or AED 538–269,098/m² are excluded as data-entry errors. Prices cover the last 12 months of sales to September 2026 (the last 3 years, or all years, where a community has too few recent sales). Rental yield combines DLD sale prices with Ejari-registered rents for the same segment. Data through September 2026. Mortgage financing, gifts, and non-residential usage are excluded throughout.
