Registered DLD sales · medians, not estimates · how we compute this
A typical residential sale here is AED 900,000 for about 618 sqft in the last 12 months (3,689 sales); across all 23,490 recorded sales the median is AED 727,888.
Ready-home prices here have moved +53.1% across the 172 months (Apr 2012 – Aug 2026) of Land Department records we hold — a pace of +3% a year if it continued.
That is the whole 172 months of records for this area, expressed as an annual pace. It averages across every cycle in that period, so it describes the long run rather than the market today. Treat it as history, not a forecast.
Comparing a launch price against a resale price without separating them is the most common way Dubai price-per-square-foot figures mislead.
Off-plan
AED 1,280/sqft
16,799 recorded sales
Ready

6,691 recorded sales
Off-plan trades 25% above completed homes here. A single blended figure would sit between the two and describe neither.
Median size and price for every bedroom count with at least 15 recorded sales. Dubai Land Department records a room count on nearly every sale, so this is a breakdown of real transactions rather than an estimate. The headline price is the last 12 months; the median across every sale on record sits under it.
Rent is matched to homes by bedroom count where Ejari records one, which most contracts do, and by floor area where it does not — each row says which. Every figure is the median of registered new lets: a renewal is capped under Decree 43 of 2013 and sits below what the same home lets for today.

What it costs to rent here
Median annual rent, by size of home.
Matched to tenancies by bedroom count where Ejari records one — most contracts do — and by floor area where it does not; the table below says which for each row. Renewing tenants pay about 25% less per sqft than someone signing a new lease here.
A year’s rent against what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Arjan over the same twelve months — both from registered records. Off-plan sales are left out of the price, because rent is paid on built homes and off-plan sells at a premium.
| Size | Costs now, ready | Rents for | Gross yield | Ready sales, 12m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 590K | AED 48,000/yrby bedroom · 2,704 new lets | 8.1% | 556 |
| 1 bed | AED 958K | AED 70,094/yrby bedroom · 2,642 new lets | 7.3% | 495 |
| 2 beds | AED 1.45M | AED 103,000/yrby bedroom · 1,085 new lets | 7.1% | 238 |
| 3 beds | AED 2.1M | AED 160,000/yrby bedroom · 107 new lets | 7.6% | 31 |
The best gross yield here is on a studio at 8.1%. Smaller homes almost always yield more than larger ones — they cost proportionally less and rent for proportionally more.
Why this is lower than yields quoted elsewhere
The usual shortcut divides today’s rent by an average price — and in a market that has risen as far as Dubai’s, the average is a historical price. On that arithmetic a studio here reads 8.9% instead of 8.1%, because it prices the home at AED 539.66K — the median across every sale on record — rather than the AED 590K a completed one costs today. Every figure above uses the same twelve months, and completed homes only, on both sides.
What it returns after service charges
Starting from the middle filed owners-association budget in this area — AED 12/sqft across 15 buildings, most recently filed for 2023. Charges have risen since then, so replace it with your own invoice if you have one. How to check it.
| Size | Charge / year | Rent after it | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 5,072 | AED 42,928 | 8.1% | 7.3% |
| 1 bed | AED 9,288 | AED 60,806 | 7.3% | 6.3% |
| 2 beds | AED 14,405 | AED 88,595 | 7.1% | 6.1% |
| 3 beds | AED 19,987 | AED 140,013 | 7.6% | 6.7% |
Still not the final number: agency commission on re-letting, and any month the home sits empty, both come out of net rent too. This subtracts the service charge only, because it is the one cost that is the same every year whether or not the home is let.
Gross yield: rent before costs. Service charges, agency commission, and any month the home sits empty all come out of it — in Dubai the service charge alone is commonly a fifth to a third of the rent, so treat these as the ceiling rather than the return.
a studio rents for a median AED 48,000/yr, a 1-bedroom for AED 70,094/yr, a 2-bedroom for AED 103,000/yr, a 3-bedroom for AED 160,000/yr. These are medians of tenancy contracts registered with Ejari in Arjan over the last twelve months — what tenants agreed to pay, not advertised asking rents. Rent is matched to homes by bedroom count where Ejari records one — most contracts do — and by floor area where it does not; each row on this page says which.
The median residential sale price in Arjan was AED 1,481/sqft in August 2026, from 202 sales registered that month. Over the last 12 months a typical home here sold for about AED 900K and measured about 618 sqft (3,689 sales). These are medians of sales actually registered with the Dubai Land Department, not of asking prices.
Gross yields on ready homes in Arjan run about 8.1% on a studio apartment, 7.3% on a 1-bedroom apartment, 7.1% on a 2-bedroom apartment, 7.6% on a 3-bedroom apartment, dividing a year of registered rent by what completed homes of that size actually sold for over the same twelve months. Smaller homes yield more. These are gross figures: service charges, agency commission and void periods are not deducted, and in Dubai the service charge alone commonly takes a fifth to a third of the rent.
Yes. Every unit in Arjan whose tenure is recorded in the Land Department's register is freehold, so foreign nationals may own property here outright. The register holds 29,287 units for the area.
Ready homes in Arjan sold for a median AED 1,388/sqft in Q2 2026 (266 sales), against AED 1,112/sqft in Q3 2024 (323 sales): +24.8% across those quarters. By quarter, the ready-home median was AED 1,112/sqft in Q3 2024, AED 1,163/sqft in Q4 2024, AED 1,211/sqft in Q1 2025, AED 1,256/sqft in Q2 2025, AED 1,290/sqft in Q3 2025, AED 1,349/sqft in Q4 2025, AED 1,328/sqft in Q1 2026, AED 1,388/sqft in Q2 2026. Off-plan registrations ran at AED 1,738/sqft in Q2 2026 (551 registrations) and are never pooled with ready homes here. These are medians of registered sales, not an index: a quarter's move against the one before it partly reflects which homes sold, and registrations for Q2 2026 are still being filed.
64% of the 3,689 sales registered in Arjan in the last 12 months were off-plan, and the rest were completed homes. The two trade at different prices, so a single blended price per square foot for the area would describe neither.
Median registered sale price per sqft in Arjan, by calendar quarter of the transaction date, ready homes and off-plan registrations kept apart. Complete quarters only; a quarter's median prints on 60 or more sales.

Ready-home median +24.8% from Q3 2024 (AED 1,112/sqft, 323 sales) to Q2 2026 (AED 1,388/sqft, 266 sales).
Q2 2026 holds 266 ready sales against about 372 in each of the three quarters before it: registrations for it are still being filed, and its median will settle in later months.
A median is not an index: it moves when the mix of what sold moves, and a single quarter's move against the one before it reverses the next quarter about half the time on this register. Read the level, its sample, and the change against the same quarter a year earlier.
Every registered residential sale in this area by month, ready homes and off-plan together, so this is the history of what sold rather than a rate. The newest month is still being registered and will move. The rates on this page read ready homes alone.
Closest to Arjan on median price per square foot. Areas with fewer than 10 recorded sales are left out, because a median drawn from a handful of deals is not worth comparing against.
Each has at least twenty sales on record, so its own median means something. Ordered by how much has traded.
