A typical residential sale here is AED 1,481,000 for about 1,516 sqft, from 2,404 recorded sales.
Prices here have moved +93.8% across the 147 months (May 2014 – Aug 2026) of Land Department records we hold — a pace of +6% a year if it continued.
That is the whole 147 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 32% above 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.
| Size | Typical home | Typical price | Per sqft | Typical rent | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 518 sqft | AED 605,722 | AED 1,191/sqft | AED 50,000/yr 113 tenancies | 302 |
| 1 bed | 1,003 sqft | AED 1,011,042 | AED 1,104/sqft | AED 62,000/yr 484 tenancies | 457 |

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 Mirdif over the same twelve months — both from registered records.
| Size | Costs now | Rents for | Gross yield | Sales behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 671.05K | AED 50,000/yrby bedroom · 113 new lets | 7.5% | 13 |
| 1 bed | AED 1.09M | AED 62,000/yrby bedroom · 484 new lets | 5.7% | 26 |
| 2 beds | AED 1.89M | AED 86,625/yrby bedroom · 595 new lets | 4.6% | 102 |
| 3 beds | AED 2.46M | AED 120,000/yrby bedroom · 782 new lets | 4.9% | 44 |
The best gross yield here is on a studio at 7.5%. Smaller homes almost always yield more than larger ones — they cost proportionally less and rent for proportionally more.
a studio rents for a median AED 50,000/yr, a 1-bedroom for AED 62,000/yr, a 2-bedroom for AED 86,625/yr, a 3-bedroom for AED 120,000/yr. These are medians of tenancy contracts registered with Ejari in Mirdif 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 Mirdif 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 14% less per sqft than someone signing a new lease here.
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 studio here reads 8.3% instead of 7.5%, because it prices the home at AED 605.72K — the median across every sale on record — rather than the AED 671.05K 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | AED 7,771 | AED 42,229 | 7.5% | 6.3% |
| 1 bed | AED 15,048 | AED 46,952 | 5.7% | 4.3% |
| 2 beds | AED 22,772 | AED 63,853 | 4.6% | 3.4% |
| 3 beds | AED 35,994 | AED 84,006 | 4.9% | 3.4% |
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 Mirdif is AED 1,323/sqft, which works out at about AED 1.48M for a typical 1,516 sqft home. That is a median of 2,404 sales actually registered with the Dubai Land Department, not of asking prices.
Gross yields in Mirdif run about 7.5% on a studio, 5.7% on a 1-bedroom, 4.6% on a 2-bedroom, 4.9% on a 3-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.
Mostly, but not entirely. 6,072 of the 6,467 units with a recorded tenure in Mirdif are freehold, so foreign ownership is possible in most buildings here and not all — check the specific title before committing.
14% of the 2,404 registered sales in Mirdif 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.
