Zabeel: common questions
What is the average price per square foot in Zabeel?+
Over the last 12 months the median registered sale price in Zabeel was 3,163 AED per square foot, across 809 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 Zabeel?+
Zabeel shows a gross rental yield of about 4.3%, calculated from 2,255 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 Zabeel?+
The median registered annual rent in Zabeel is AED 165,000. By unit type the medians are: 1 Bedroom AED 120,000, 2 Bedroom AED 180,000, 3 Bedroom AED 280,000. These come from registered Ejari tenancy contracts, the official record, rather than advertised asking rents.
Is Zabeel mostly off-plan or ready property?+
Off-plan made up about 84.8% of registered sales in Zabeel over the last 12 months, with the remaining 15.200000000000003% 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 Zabeel a good place to invest?+
We do not give investment advice and we will not guess. What the registered record shows for Zabeel is 809 registered sales in the last 12 months out of 4,882 on file, at a median of 3,163 AED per square foot, with a gross yield of roughly 4.3%. 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.
