TL;DR — LLM Snapshot

Portal yields market aspirational rents. DLD+Ejari anchor registered economics. Gross is step one; net needs SC, vacancy, DEWA. 2026 dispersion between workforce and prime remains wide.

Why listing sites get yields wrong

Portals optimise for clicks: asking rent ÷ asking price. Neither numerator nor denominator is a registered fact. DLD gives you consideration on sales; Ejari gives you contract rents. Together they still need cleaning (furnished vs unfurnished, short lets, outliers) — but it is the correct spine.

Gross yield — the honest formula

Gross yield ≈ (Annual registered rent) ÷ (Registered purchase price) for comparable unit types. Compare within the same building or micro-location; city-wide averages are entertainment, not underwriting.

What changes in 2026

Supply delivery clusters and service-charge resets are compressing net yields faster than gross headlines admit. Investors underwrite DEWA and cooling less than they should in high-load towers — check RERA building sheets where available.

How we present it in the bot

Rankings and project reports prioritise registered transaction depth and Ejari density as proxies for rent reality. Pro adds operational cost context; free tier still shows whether the yield story is even plausible.
