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.

## FAQ

### Can I buy only part of the history?

Yes. Quotes are scoped to what you need: a date range (for example 2021 to today), sales or rentals or both, an area list or property types. A narrower scope is priced accordingly.

### Are mortgages, gifts and the project register included?

No. The dataset covers registered sales and rental contracts. Mortgage and gift registrations and the developer project register are not part of it.

### How complete is it?

For recent years the record count is close to the totals published for Dubai. Ask for the reconciliation by year with your quote, and check the free datasets against any figures you already hold.

### How are subscriptions delivered?

The full file first, then monthly or quarterly increments with the new records, in the same columns. Delivery is a download link; other arrangements on request.
