Overview

This is the record-level history of the Dubai property market: every registered sale since 1997 and every registered rental contract since 2010, one row per transaction. It is the data behind price indices, rental yields, comparable evidence and market share figures, delivered so your team can build its own.

What makes it useful

  • Depth. 29 years of sales and 16 years of rental contracts, so long-run trends, cycles and pre- and post-pandemic comparisons come from the same source.
  • Rentals at contract level. 8.79 million individual rental contracts, new leases and renewals, with contract value, length and dates. Most free sources cover sales only or publish rents as aggregates.
  • A clean location hierarchy. Every record carries its area, sub-community and building, with stable IDs, English and Arabic names and coordinates, so joins and maps work without cleanup.
  • Consistent fields across 29 years. Property types, areas and statuses are standardised, so a 2005 sale and a 2026 sale can be compared in the same query.

Common analyses

Median price per square metre by area and month, rental yield by building, off-plan share of sales, renewal versus new-lease rent growth, transaction volume by developer project, and comparable sales for a valuation.
