What a square foot costs here, what it rents for, what it yields once the service charge comes off, and how all of that compares with every other community in Dubai. Taken from what was registered with the Dubai Land Department. Nothing modelled, nothing estimated.

Higher confidence, a large number of records behind this figure. Based on up to 5,385 registered records in the period.

Madinat Al Mataar against every other community in Dubai.

Each figure is drawn on the field it belongs to, so a number is never left to stand on its own. Latest published quarter, Q2 2026.

This communityDubai medianEvery other community

Median price per square foot

AED 1,678

The middle registered sale here, measured by area so a studio and a villa compare.

AED 1,054AED 3,516

32nd highest of 56 communities. Level with the Dubai median.

Median rent per square foot

AED 74 a year

What a square foot let for here, from registered tenancy contracts.

AED 20 a yearAED 494 a year

62nd highest of 133 communities. Level with the Dubai median.

Gross rental yield

6.67%

Rent per square foot over ready-property price. Before the service charge.

3.96%9.09%

12th highest of 40 communities. 29% above the Dubai median. In this community's favour.

Service charge

AED 14 a square foot

The yearly charge an owner pays. It comes straight off the yield above.

AED 8 a square footAED 27 a square foot

5th highest of 11 communities.

Yield after the service charge

3.55%

The gross yield above with this community’s service charge taken off, which is the figure a yield table almost never shows you. It is still not take-home: management, maintenance and the weeks a home sits empty come off after this.

Madinat Al Mataar, year by year

How prices, sales, rents and yield have moved here, each year against the one before.

The median price per square foot rose to AED 682 / sq ft in Q1 2022, up 2% on the same quarter a year earlier.

What this means for you: rising prices with steady yield suggest rents are keeping pace; prices rising faster than rents mean yield is thinning. Past movement is a record, not a forecast.
