Frequently asked questions
Are these Dubai property guides really free?+
Yes. Both The Dubai Property Guide 2025 and the Dubai Market Update are free. We ask only for your email so we can deliver the guide and, if you wish, future updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Are you a brokerage?+
No. Apartment in Dubai is an independent, educational resource. Our guides explain the market and the buying process using verified, source-cited data. We do not list specific units or act as your agent.
How current is the data in the guides?+
The figures reflect 2025 full-year (verified 2026-06-16). Every number is cited to a named source (such as the Bayut Dubai Sales Market Report and the Dubai Land Department), and the Market Update is refreshed as new verified data is published.
Are the rental yields gross or net?+
All yields quoted in our guides are gross. Net yields are typically 1.5–2.5 percentage points lower once service charges, management and other costs are deducted.
