What the leases say about Tecom
851 Ejari leases 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026, and 92 adverts. Each finding has its chart below.
- Adverts ask 36% under signed. A 1-bed advert asks AED 85 a sq ft; the 29 new 1-bed leases of 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 were signed at AED 132. Recent tenants signed for more than adverts ask now, so an advert at the asking price is not dear here.
Finding
Tecom adverts ask 36% less 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
- 1 bed: asking AED 85, signed AED 132 a sq ft (−35.6%)
- 3 bed: asking AED 168, signed AED 130 a sq ft (+29.2%)
- For rent now: about 92 homes, against 19 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.

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 851 in Tecom, and 165 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 Tecom by the building or community name in the advert. There are 92 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.
