Where these figures come from

Dubai Land Department sales transactions and Ejari rent contracts (Dubai Pulse open data), via Heartbeat Homes. Sales are residential sales registered with the Dubai Land Department; rents are residential Ejari contracts that started in the period. The records are public: see the Dubai Land Department's open data. Gross yield leaves out service charges, vacancy and fees, so what an owner keeps is lower. Nothing here is financial advice.
