Yield analysis

What sits behind the 5.7% figure. Numerator and denominator come from the same twelve-month window and the same market slice — villas in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) only, with no blending of other property types. Using medians rather than averages means individual large deals do not inflate the result: half the stock trades above 3,100,000 AED and half below. 187 sales over twelve months indicates a market active enough for a planned exit. The rental sample covers 341 contracts, indicating demand spread across many tenants rather than concentrated in a few.

Risks to account for

What the figure does not cover. Gross yield excludes service charges, vacancy between tenancies, management fees and refurbishment costs — net yield is always lower than gross. A median describes the middle of the market, not a specific unit: layout, floor, condition and lease terms can move actual returns either way. This number is recalculated whenever DLD data refreshes, so the page always shows the current figure rather than a frozen snapshot.
