Registered DLD sales · medians, not estimates · how we compute this
A typical residential sale here is AED 675,000 for about 555 sqft in the last 12 months (141 sales); across all 2,780 recorded sales the median is AED 662,500.
Ready-home prices here have moved +37.1% across the 51 months (May 2022 – Aug 2026) of Land Department records we hold — a pace of +8% a year if it continued.
That is the whole 51 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 1,186/sqft
2,355 recorded sales
Ready
AED 905/sqft
425 recorded sales
Off-plan trades 31% 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 9% 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 Madinat Hind 4 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 450K | AED 40,000/yrby bedroom · 134 new lets | 8.9% | 30 |
| 1 bed | AED 650K | AED 50,000/yrby bedroom · 119 new lets | 7.7% | 40 |
The best gross yield here is on a studio at 8.9%. 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 10.0% instead of 8.9%, because it prices the home at AED 400K — the median across every sale on record — rather than the AED 450K 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 4/sqft across 20 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 1,700 | AED 38,300 | 8.9% | 8.5% |
| 1 bed | AED 2,213 | AED 47,787 | 7.7% | 7.4% |
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 40,000/yr, a 1-bedroom for AED 50,000/yr, a 2-bedroom for AED 69,100/yr. These are medians of tenancy contracts registered with Ejari in Madinat Hind 4 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 Madinat Hind 4 was AED 1,258/sqft in August 2026, from 7 sales registered that month. Over the last 12 months a typical home here sold for about AED 675K and measured about 555 sqft (141 sales). These are medians of sales actually registered with the Dubai Land Department, not of asking prices.
Gross yields on ready homes in Madinat Hind 4 run about 8.9% on a studio apartment, 7.7% on a 1-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 Madinat Hind 4 whose tenure is recorded in the Land Department's register is freehold, so foreign nationals may own property here outright. The register holds 2,503 units for the area.
45% of the 141 sales registered in Madinat Hind 4 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 Madinat Hind 4, 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.

Q2 2026 holds 13 ready sales against about 26 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.
1,463 mortgage procedures were registered here in the last 12 months. These are registrations, not buyers: the register files a loan as its own entry and does not link it to a sale, so this cannot tell you what share of purchases were financed.
A modification is an existing borrower changing terms and a transfer is a loan moving between lenders; neither is a new purchase. Counted from the procedure the Land Department recorded on each registration.
Closest to Madinat Hind 4 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.
