What is Capitalización de Ingresos?
Técnica de valoración que convierte el NOI de un solo año en un estimado de valor dividiendo por la tasa de capitalización del mercado para ese tipo de propiedad.
Description
Income capitalization (or direct capitalisation) is the simplest form of the income approach to valuation. It takes a property's annual net operating income and divides it by the market cap rate to estimate value. If a JBR apartment generates AED 100,000 NOI and the area cap rate is 6%, the property is valued at approximately AED 1,667,000.
The cap rate must reflect the risk and growth profile of the specific property and location. A premium unit in a well-managed building in an established community deserves a lower cap rate (higher value) than a comparable unit in a new, unproven development. Dubai cap rates are derived from DLD transaction data and professional valuations by firms like CBRE, JLL, and Cushman & Wakefield.
Fórmula
Property Value = Net Operating Income / Capitalisation RateHow to interpret
Income capitalization works best for stabilised properties with predictable income. It assumes the current year's income is representative of the future, which may not hold for properties with expiring leases, planned renovations, or changing market conditions. For such properties, a DCF analysis is more appropriate.

These published rates provide a reliable starting point, but always adjust for the specific building standard, management reputation, and tenant mix of the subject property.
