International City: common questions

What is the average price per square foot in International City?+

Over the last 12 months the median registered sale price in International City was 735 AED per square foot, across 1,905 registered sales. That is the median of completed transactions registered with the Dubai Land Department, not asking prices, so it reflects what buyers actually paid.

What is the rental yield in International City?+

International City shows a gross rental yield of about 7.5%, calculated from 51,653 registered Ejari rent contracts set against registered sale prices for the same area. That figure is gross, so service charges, management fees and any vacancy still come out of it, commonly one to two percentage points.

How much is rent in International City?+

The median registered annual rent in International City is AED 36,200. By unit type the medians are: Studio AED 28,736, 1 Bedroom AED 40,000, 2 Bedroom AED 60,975, 3 Bedroom AED 105,000. These come from registered Ejari tenancy contracts, the official record, rather than advertised asking rents.

Is International City mostly off-plan or ready property?+

Off-plan made up about 30.7% of registered sales in International City over the last 12 months, with the remaining 69.3% being ready property. A high off-plan share usually means active new launches and staged payment plans, and it also means more supply arriving later, which is worth weighing if you are buying to rent out.

Is International City a good place to invest?+

We do not give investment advice and we will not guess. What the registered record shows for International City is 1,905 registered sales in the last 12 months out of 45,471 on file, at a median of 735 AED per square foot, with a gross yield of roughly 7.5%. Transaction volume matters as much as price, because it tells you how easily you could sell again. Compare those figures against other communities, and check the service charge for the specific building, since it comes straight off your yield.

How do I check what a specific property in International City sold for?+
