What actually transacted in Al Jaddaf
Before you judge a launch price, look at what the community around it registered. Over the last twelve months Al Jaddaf recorded 6,663 registered rental contracts and 104 ready sales, all filed with the Dubai Land Department. These are signed contracts, not asking prices.
Rent registered at AED 83 per sqft against a ready sale price of AED 1,381 per sqft. That is a gross yield of 6.0% on ready stock in this community.
We use ready sale prices rather than blended prices deliberately. You cannot rent a home that has not been handed over, so an off plan launch price in a yield calculation produces a number that cannot happen.
Registered rents in Al Jaddaf moved +4.3% against the twelve months before.
The shorter window disagrees. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads -2.0%. Summer seasonality and smaller samples both sit inside that number, but we publish it rather than quote only the figure that flatters the market.
| Unit type | Contracts registered | Average annual rent (AED) | Rent per sqft (AED) | Change vs 12 months earlier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 544 | 49,056 | 118 | +0.9% |
| 1 bedroom | 2,925 | 66,883 | 87 | +2.8% |
| 2 bedroom | 2,827 | 87,003 | 73 | +6.3% |
| 3 bedroom | 336 | 126,644 | 72 | +3.7% |
| All apartments | 6,663 | 77,134 | 83 | +4.3% |
