Three of them handed over in the last five years, so the newest stock is still settling into the rental market. The figures on this page refresh monthly as new sales and contracts are registered.
The line is the monthly median of every sale and rental contract, smoothed over three months; a month with fewer than ten records sits between its neighbours, and the latest such months are read together. The changes compare 12-month medians: the last 12 months against the 12 before. Source: Dubai Land Department.

A typical one-bed rents for AED 56,000 a year, a studio AED 40,000 and a two-bed AED 75,000. Increases on renewal are capped by the RERA rental index. Landlords in Dubai usually take one to four cheques and a 5% security deposit, and every contract is registered on Ejari, which is where the figures on this page come from.
