What is the rental yield in Dubai South?+

Dubai South shows a gross rental yield of about 5.5%, calculated from 17,278 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 Dubai South?+

Is Dubai South mostly off-plan or ready property?+

Off-plan made up about 92.1% of registered sales in Dubai South over the last 12 months, with the remaining 7.900000000000006% 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 Dubai South a good place to invest?+

We do not give investment advice and we will not guess. What the registered record shows for Dubai South is 15,859 registered sales in the last 12 months out of 41,189 on file, at a median of 1,644 AED per square foot, with a gross yield of roughly 5.5%. 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.
