What the leases say about Al Garhoud
2,190 Ejari leases 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026, and 123 adverts. Each finding has its chart below.
- Adverts ask 3% under signed. A 1-bed advert asks AED 78 a sq ft; the 189 new 1-bed leases of 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 were signed at AED 80. Recent tenants signed for more than adverts ask now, so an advert at the asking price is not dear here.
- Same size for less nearby: a new 1-bed in Abu Hail, 5 km away, costs AED 35,000 for 753 sq ft. That is AED 28,000 a year less than in Al Garhoud.

How we worked it out, and the limits
Updated 21 Oct 2026. Leases to 15 Oct 2026; adverts of 16 Oct 2026.
Leases. Source: Dubai Land Department Ejari rent contracts. We use homes only, one unit for each contract, starting 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026. There are 2,190 in Al Garhoud, and 642 of them are new. Bedrooms come from the Ejari unit type. "3 bed" means 3 or more. Every rent is a median: half the leases are above it.
New and renewal. "New" is a new tenant or a new contract. "Renewal" is the same contract, renewed. Renewals are often registered weeks late. Thus the latest month shows too few renewals. Like for like means the same building, the same bedrooms and a size band 15% wide. Leases with no building name are left out of this test. A group needs 5 or more of each: new leases and renewals.
Adverts. We use active yearly rent adverts from listing sites on 16 Oct 2026. We put each advert in Al Garhoud by the building or community name in the advert. There are 123 adverts after we remove repeats. A repeat has the same building, bedrooms, size and price. One home can still show more than once. Thus "for rent now" is approximate. Adverts are matched to a building by name.
Not used. The Ejari nearest-metro field names a station but no distance, so we do not compare metro and non-metro homes here. Floor, view, parking and furnishing are not in the lease record.
