Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 42,000 ÷ AED 497,000 = 8.5%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.
Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.

Golden Woods Albab Views is a low-rise Golden Wood building in Dubai South with studios to 2-bedroom apartments from AED 497,000 and handover listed for December 2027. The price check puts the from price per square foot 1.5% above 44 studio off-plan sales in the building over the 24 months to October 2026, and the payment plan appears in two versions, so get it in writing.
Start with the paperwork. The listing gives a 20 / 40 / 40 plan, but a 20 / 40 / 5 / 35 split also appears, so ask Golden Wood for the plan in your sale agreement. On 20 / 40 / 40 at the from price, you pay AED 99,400 on booking, then AED 198,800 during construction and AED 198,800 at handover. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 19,880; ask when it is due. The listed handover is December 2027, about 13 months away.
