What the leases say about Palm Jumeirah
4,283 Ejari leases 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026, and 3,091 adverts. Each finding has its chart below.
- New 1-bed rents fell 6.5% this year, like for like. Median new 1-bed: AED 150,000 in 2024, AED 150,000 in 2025, AED 145,000 in 2026 (1 Jan–15 Oct each year). Dubai, like for like: −5.4%. The table above (AED 150,000) covers the 12 months to 15 Oct 2026.
- Renewing costs about the same as moving. We compare homes in the same building, with the same bedrooms and a size within 15%. New and renewing tenants pay within 1% of each other. This uses 12 matched groups and 255 renewals.
- Adverts ask 10% over signed. A 1-bed advert asks AED 144 a sq ft; the 622 new 1-bed leases of 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 were signed at AED 131. Offer at the signed figure.
- Cheapest 1-bed for its size: Dusit Emirates Saray, AED 15 a sq ft, the median of its 27 1-bed leases (typical rent AED 15,122). The median 1-bed lease in Palm Jumeirah is AED 127 a sq ft.
- Same size for less nearby: a new studio in Al Furjan, 10 km away, costs AED 46,000 for 484 sq ft. That is AED 44,000 a year less than in Palm Jumeirah.
Finding
New 1-bed rents fell 6.5% this year, like for like in Palm Jumeirah.
Median rent on new leases, 1 Jan–15 Oct of 2024, 2025 and 2026, by bedrooms

- 3 bed: −6.2% like for like; median AED 320,000 → 300,000 (1 Jan–15 Oct)
- All Dubai, 1-bed: −5.4% like for like
Same weeks each year so the season does not skew it. New leases only: renewals follow the market with a lag. The change compares the same building, bedrooms and size band in both years; the medians can move differently because the mix of homes changes.
Finding
In Palm Jumeirah new and renewing tenants pay about the same for the same 1-bed.
New lease over renewal, same building, bedrooms and size band, 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026
- Studio: about the same
- 1 bed: about the same
- 2 bed: new tenants pay 4% more (AED 7,500 a year)
- 3 bed: new tenants pay 9% more (AED 25,154 a year)

37 matched groups, 851 renewals. Each group is one named building with 5+ new and 5+ renewed leases. The bedroom table above mixes buildings, so it can point the other way.
Finding
Palm Jumeirah adverts ask 10% more per sq ft than new 1-bed tenants signed in the last 12 months.
Asking rent per sq ft (adverts 16 Oct 2026) against new leases signed 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026
- Studio: asking AED 237, signed AED 188 a sq ft (+26.1%)
- 1 bed: asking AED 144, signed AED 131 a sq ft (+9.9%)
- 2 bed: asking AED 140, signed AED 124 a sq ft (+12.9%)
- 3 bed: asking AED 150, signed AED 126 a sq ft (+19.0%)
- For rent now: about 3,091 homes, against 673 new flat leases in 90 days
Per sq ft, so bigger adverts do not skew it. Adverts are one day's snapshot; duplicates removed by building, bedrooms, size and price, so the count is approximate.
Finding
The cheapest 1-beds for their size are in Dusit Emirates Saray, Golden Mile and Fairmont Palm Residence.
1 bed flats: median rent per sq ft by building, buildings with 10+ 1-bed leases, 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026
- Dusit Emirates Saray: AED 15,122 for 1,099 sq ft
- Golden Mile: AED 130,703 for 1,304 sq ft
- Fairmont Palm Residence: AED 149,250 for 1,314 sq ft
- Dearest per sq ft: The Palm Tower, AED 228 for a 1-bed
- Buildings compared: every building with 10+ 1-bed leases
Cheap per sq ft can mean an older building, fewer amenities or a worse view: none of these is in the lease record.
Every building in Palm Jumeirah with 10+ leases
Median rent, AED a year, all signed leases 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 (a bed figure needs 10+ leases). For rent now: adverts on 16 Oct 2026 matched to the building by name, duplicates removed, so it is approximate. 40% of leases here carry no building name and are not in this table.

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 4,283 in Palm Jumeirah, and 2,223 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 Palm Jumeirah by the building or community name in the advert. There are 3,091 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.
