Read more to find out where experts predict up to 9.2 per cent of rental income per year, and how much the average Dubai rentals have decreased.
Despite decrease in rental rates and a decline in overall property market activity, some Dubai areas and communities still offer decent rental yields to investors.
"With prices flattening, the capital appreciation at this point might seem less, but we expect long-term gains leading up to 2020," Luxhabitat said in its latest report, adding that average rental yields have decreased by a minimum of 0.20 per cent, but landlords can still benefit from an average 6.23 per cent rental yield year-on-year.
But the average doesn’t always depict the real state of rental market in different Dubai locations, where rents can differ greatly depending on a number of circumstances. But there are certainly the Top 10 Dubai communities offering highest rental yields.
tops the list with apartments offering best returns in Dubai of up to 9.2 per cent, despite the apartment rates decline by almost 2 per cent in the first half of the year.
Dubai Silicon Oasis comes second with prices having decreased by 3.6 per cent in the past 6 months, but rental yields still holding strong of 8.7 per cent return year-on-year.
International City, most searched for by working class, saw property prices decrease by 2.6 per cent, but nevertheless, it still offers rental yields of 8.6 per cent, which helped this area occupy the third place in the rating.
, which is still under construction, is attracting a big number of tenants and is considered to be the best choice for people working in and communities linked to Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. Property prices in the area decreased by 2 per cent in first half of the year, but apartments there still bring an average of 8.45 of rental yield, putting this location on the fourth position in the list of Top-10 Dubai areas with the highest rental yields.
According to Luxhabitat, this list also includes such localities as , Dubai Investment Park, Jumeirah Village Circle, Liwan, IMPZ and Dubai Residence Complex which offer rental yields between 7.9 per cent and 8.4 per cent. Apartment prices in these areas decreased by 1 to 2.8 per cent in the first year half.
And what about other experts? What do they say? A recent research made by Chestertons Mena consultancy revealed that apartment rental rates in Dubai declined by 4 per cent quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2018. And July investigation made by property portal Bayut found that Dubai rental rates had declined by 2 to 9 per cent over a year, while an April report from Cavendish Maxwell recorded a five per cent year-on-year decrease in rental rates.
But what is the real picture? We can guess that by asking tenants themselves. According to a recent survey by yallacompare, over 1 in 5 UAE residents were paying more in rent, for the same property, in second-quarter as compared to same quarter last year. However, 20.4 per cent of UAE residents are currently paying less than they used to a year ago. Over 40 per cent are paying the same rent as last year, while 38.6 per cent are actually paying more.
