A typical residential sale here is AED 2,462,000 for about 1,213 sqft, from 3,107 recorded sales.
Prices here have moved +98.7% across the 106 months (Oct 2017 – Aug 2026) of Land Department records we hold — a pace of +8% a year if it continued.
That is the whole 106 months of records for this area, expressed as an annual pace. It averages across every cycle in that period, so it describes the long run rather than the market today. Treat it as history, not a forecast.
Comparing a launch price against a resale price without separating them is the most common way Dubai price-per-square-foot figures mislead.

Off-plan trades 27% below completed homes here. A single blended figure would sit between the two and describe neither.
Median size and price for every bedroom count with at least 15 recorded sales. Dubai Land Department records a room count on nearly every sale, so this is a breakdown of real transactions rather than an estimate.
Rent is matched by size here, not bedroom count, so the column is what homes of that sizeactually let for — the question behind the question, answered from real contracts. Ejari does also carry a bedroom count on most tenancies, and the rent-by-bedroom figures on this page read that field directly.

What it costs to rent here
Median annual rent, by size of home.
A year’s rent against what that size of home actually sold for in La Mer over the same twelve months — both from registered records.
| Size | Costs now | Rents for | Gross yield | Sales behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 2.3M | AED 110,250/yrby bedroom · 360 new lets | 4.8% | 66 |
| 2 beds | AED 4.68M | AED 180,000/yrby bedroom · 296 new lets | 3.8% | 84 |
| 3 beds | AED 24.33M | AED 240,000/yrby bedroom · 104 new lets | 1.0% | 58 |

| 5 beds | AED 53.34M | AED 390,000/yrby bedroom · 95 new lets |
a 1-bedroom rents for a median AED 110,250/yr, a 2-bedroom for AED 180,000/yr, a 3-bedroom for AED 240,000/yr, a 4-bedroom for AED 330,000/yr. These are medians of tenancy contracts registered with Ejari in La Mer over the last twelve months — what tenants agreed to pay, not advertised asking rents. This table matches rent to homes by floor area, which every Ejari contract records. Ejari carries a bedroom count on most contracts too, and the rent-by-bedroom figures on this page read that field rather than inferring it from size.
Closest to Jumeirah First on median price per square foot. Areas with fewer than 10 recorded sales are left out, because a median drawn from a handful of deals is not worth comparing against.

Matched to tenancies by floor area, so this is what homes of each size actually let for. Ejari does also record a bedroom count on most contracts — the rent-by-bedroom table below reads that field directly. Renewing tenants pay about 33% less per sqft than someone signing a new lease here.

The best gross yield here is on a 1 bed at 4.8%. Smaller homes almost always yield more than larger ones — they cost proportionally less and rent for proportionally more.
Why this is lower than yields quoted elsewhere
The usual shortcut divides today’s rent by an average price — and in a market that has risen as far as Dubai’s, the average is a historical price. On that arithmetic a 1 bed here reads 6.4% instead of 4.8%, because it prices the home at AED 1.73M — the median across every sale on record — rather than the AED 2.3M it costs today. Every figure above uses the same twelve months on both sides.
What it returns after service charges
We hold no filed budget for this one, so this starts from a placeholder rather than a measurement — it’s on the service charge invoice, or on RERA’s Service Charge Index. How to check it.
| Size | Charge / year | Rent after it | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 12,155 | AED 98,095 | 4.8% | 4.3% |
| 2 beds | AED 18,401 | AED 161,599 | 3.8% | 3.5% |
| 3 beds | AED 33,864 | AED 206,136 | 1.0% | 0.8% |
| 4 beds | AED 65,980 | AED 264,020 | 1.0% | 0.8% |
| 5 beds | AED 105,697 | AED 284,303 | 0.7% | 0.5% |
Still not the final number: agency commission on re-letting, and any month the home sits empty, both come out of net rent too. This subtracts the service charge only, because it is the one cost that is the same every year whether or not the home is let.
Gross yield: rent before costs. Service charges, agency commission, and any month the home sits empty all come out of it — in Dubai the service charge alone is commonly a fifth to a third of the rent, so treat these as the ceiling rather than the return.
The median residential sale price in La Mer is AED 6,650/sqft, which works out at about AED 2.46M for a typical 1,213 sqft home. That is a median of 3,107 sales actually registered with the Dubai Land Department, not of asking prices.
Gross yields in La Mer run about 4.8% on a 1-bedroom, 3.8% on a 2-bedroom, 1.0% on a 3-bedroom, 1.0% on a 4-bedroom, dividing a year of registered rent by what that size actually sold for over the same twelve months. Smaller homes yield more. These are gross figures: service charges, agency commission and void periods are not deducted, and in Dubai the service charge alone commonly takes a fifth to a third of the rent.
Yes. Every unit in La Mer whose tenure is recorded in the Land Department's register is freehold, so foreign nationals may own property here outright. The register holds 1,738 units for the area.
71% of the 3,107 registered sales in La Mer were off-plan, and the rest were completed homes. The two trade at different prices, so a single blended price per square foot for the area would describe neither.
