A single entry point into Oliva's yield research: how net yield is calculated, the areas leading the 2026 distribution, and how to compare projects on a like-for-like basis.
Recent Oliva editorial covering yield drivers, comparative analyses, and area-specific deep dives.
Side-by-side ROI ranking of every Dubai freehold area, sourced from DLD transactions and licensed rent indices.
The structural reasons JVC consistently leads Dubai on net yield, with ejari sample sizes and price-per-foot comparables.
Up-to-date Arjan net yield distribution, tower-by-tower variance, and the service fee profile to watch.
Studio-specific ROI breakdown across JVC, IMPZ, Arjan, and International City with DLD ejari evidence.
How tenant demand, vacancy rates, and lease renewals shape realised ROI vs the marketing pro-forma.
Net rental yields in Dubai typically fall in three bands: 5 to 7 percent in established areas, 7 to 9 percent in growth corridors, and 9 percent plus in narrow combinations of older buildings, smaller unit sizes, and budget areas. Each Oliva yield-bracket page links the area-level evidence behind every line on the list.
Annual rental income minus Dubai service fees, 1 percent maintenance reserve, 5 percent vacancy, and the DLD 4 percent transfer fee amortised over a 7-year hold. Source rent data comes from DLD ejari registrations cross-checked against licensed rent indices. UAE residents pay no personal income tax so that line is zero.
JVC, Arjan, Dubai South, International City, Town Square, and parts of Dubailand consistently print the highest net yields in our area data refresh. The area examples section below links each example directly to its ROI 2026 page.
No, the headline bands assume long-term annual ejari leases. DET-issued holiday-home permits typically lift gross yield by 200 to 400 basis points in tourist-heavy areas but require active operation and carry occupancy risk. See the rental-strategy calculator for an STR vs LTR comparison.
