“In Al Khawaneej 1, start from what new tenants signed: AED 245,000 for a villa. Ask what the last tenant paid before you offer.”

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 168 in Al Khawaneej 1, and 73 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 Khawaneej 1 by the building or community name in the advert. There are no adverts here today. 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.
