Monthly price report

What homes let for in Dubai Creek Harbour

Registered tenancy contracts from the Dubai Land Department (DLD), divided by what finished homes sold for: the gross rental yield, worked out rather than quoted.

Apartments

5.2% gross

A median rent of AED 119 per sqft a year on 9,925 new tenancy contracts, last 6 months, against AED 2,282 per sqft paid across 487 finished sales, last 6 months. Half of those contracts fell between AED 111 and AED 131 per sqft.

At today's off-plan prices (AED 2,322 per sqft, off-plan sales, last 6 months) the same rent would be 5.1%, before anything changes by handover.

Gross yield is a year's rent over the price, before service charges, fees and empty periods; our arithmetic on the register's figures, as of 2 Oct 2026. Source: Dubai Land Department open data. Not investment advice.
