Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 50,000 ÷ AED 918,000 = 5.4%. 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.
