Methodology & caveats

  • Virtual Ejari is a separated rental domain tracked apart from physical-unit rentals; it is best read by contract count and average contract value.
  • Contract count, total value and average contract value are the primary measures on this page.
  • These separated rental domains use contract-based metrics and the same rental colour treatment throughout.
  • AED per area is intentionally not reported here because area figures would distort rates.
  • AED/sqft is converted from AED/sqm (1 sqm = 10.764 sqft).
