Where these numbers come from
Two sources, kept separate on purpose. The table above is built from published area averages. Alongside it we keep our own record of asking rents from live listings, currently 23 area and size combinations with at least three listings each, which lets us check the published figures instead of repeating them.
Both are asking rents, not registered contracts. A unit listed for several weeks usually signs below its asking price, and the cheque count moves the annual figure by five to ten percent on its own. Numbers are refreshed weekly, and new listings that fall below these levels go out on our Telegram channel at https://t.me/dxbradar as we find them.
Reading the table
Areas without a figure for a given size simply had no reliable value, and we would rather leave a cell empty than fill it with an estimate. Comparisons only hold within the same area and the same bedroom count: a studio in Green Community at AED 2,833 and a three bedroom in The Springs at AED 22,583 are not the same market. For the areas covered in detail, see our pages on Motor City, Arjan, Silicon Oasis and the cheapest areas overall.
