Registered DLD sales · medians, not estimates · how we compute this
A typical residential sale here is AED 4,875,000 for about 3,467 sqft in the last 12 months (132 sales); across all 4,748 recorded sales the median is AED 2,200,000.
Ready-home prices here have moved +343.5% across the 229 months (Jul 2007 – Aug 2026) of Land Department records we hold — a pace of +8% a year if it continued.
That is the whole 229 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.
Nearly all recorded sales in Arabian Ranches I are completed homes, so the median above describes ready stock rather than the area as a whole.
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.
| Size | Typical home | Price, last 12 months · ready and off-plan | Per sqft, all years | Typical rent | Sales, all years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 beds | 2,219 sqft | AED 3,850,000 37 sales all years AED 1,837,500 | AED 775/sqft | AED 174,996/yr 99 tenancies | 1,396 |

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 10% 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 Arabian Ranches I 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 beds | AED 3.85M | AED 174,996/yrby bedroom · 99 new lets | 4.5% | 37 |
| 3 beds | AED 5M | AED 250,000/yrby bedroom · 278 new lets | 5.0% | 95 |
The best gross yield here is on a 3 beds at 5.0%. 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 2 beds here reads 9.5% instead of 4.5%, because it prices the home at AED 1.84M — the median across every sale on record — rather than the AED 3.85M 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
We hold no filed budget for this one, so this starts from a placeholder rather than a measurement — it’s on the service charge invoice, or on RERA’s Service Charge Index. How to check it.
| Size | Charge / year | Rent after it | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 beds | AED 33,285 | AED 141,711 | 4.5% | 3.7% |
| 3 beds | AED 51,923 | AED 198,077 | 5.0% | 4.0% |
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 2-bedroom rents for a median AED 174,996/yr, a 3-bedroom for AED 250,000/yr. These are medians of tenancy contracts registered with Ejari in Arabian Ranches I 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 Arabian Ranches I was AED 1,426/sqft in August 2026, from 9 sales registered that month. Over the last 12 months a typical home here sold for about AED 4.88M and measured about 3,467 sqft (132 sales). These are medians of sales actually registered with the Dubai Land Department, not of asking prices.
Gross yields on ready homes in Arabian Ranches I run about 4.5% on a 2-bedroom villa, 5.0% on a 3-bedroom villa, 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.
Mostly, but not entirely. 47 of the 68 units with a recorded tenure in Arabian Ranches I are freehold, so foreign ownership is possible in most buildings here and not all — check the specific title before committing.
0% of the 132 sales registered in Arabian Ranches I 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.
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.
456 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 Arabian Ranches I 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.
