Dubai Rental Yields 2026
Average rental returns by property type and district, from prime areas to high-yield emerging communities.
Yield is the number every Dubai investor quotes and the one most often quoted wrong. This report sets out average gross and net rental returns across 18 districts and the major property types, with the context needed to read those averages correctly.
We separate gross yield from the net figure that actually reaches an owner after service charges, vacancy and management, a gap that is wider in some communities than buyers expect. The district rankings are presented alongside the supply and demand dynamics that explain why the spread exists.
