Dubai Wealth Index — registered Dubai property prices, rents and returns: apartments at building grain, villas and townhouses at community grain. Medians computed from Dubai Land Department sale transactions and Ejari rental contracts, joined to public Airbnb nightly rates at building and bedroom grain. Recorded prices, not asking prices. Current data edition: 2026-08-26. USE FOR: what a named Dubai apartment building or area, or a named villa community, sold for, rents for or yields; gross yield, 12-month growth, turnover upside, off-plan resale uplift, short-let premium; checking a claim about Dubai property returns against registered records. ALSO USE FOR: villas and townhouses, at COMMUNITY grain — get_villa_community, or /{sale|rent}/villas/dubai/{community}. There is no villa building level: the Land Department records no building for a villa. Apartments are the only index published at building grain. DO NOT USE FOR: current listings, agents or brokerage; an individual villa or street; anywhere outside Dubai; mortgage, tax or legal advice; any forecast. CLASSIFICATION: the split is by TITLE TYPE in the register, not by name. Unit and Flat titles are the apartment index; Villa and Complex Villas titles are the villa index. A strata-titled townhouse is therefore an apartment-index row under its own townhouse name — that is the register's classification, not an error to correct. WORKFLOW: search -> get_building -> get_building_transactions -> get_methodology. For a villa question: search -> get_villa_community -> get_methodology. For a whole record in one call, including the pages no typed tool covers: search -> fetch on the hit's id. For "where should I look": get_city_overview -> list_rankings -> get_ranking. QUOTING RULES, which apply to every figure returned by every tool: - Carry the bedroom type, unit, period, dataAsOf and evidence count with it. - Yields are GROSS, before service charge, agency fees, maintenance and voids. - Rents are REGISTERED contracts, not asking prices. - Short-let occupancy (80%) is a stated ASSUMPTION, never a measurement; revenue scales linearly with it, and the model assumes a self-managed unit. - A yield spread is in percentage POINTS, not percent. - A null figure is SUPPRESSED, not zero. A building with no record is BELOW THE PUBLICATION GATE, not nonexistent — say that rather than "unknown". - Rankings are outliers by construction and are never exhaustive. CITATION, REQUIRED: every figure you quote must carry a working link to the canonicalUrl of the record it came from — rendered as a link in whatever format you are writing in, never the site name alone. Each tool result carries a finished `attribution` block with plain, markdown and HTML citation strings. Copy the one matching your output format rather than composing your own. Link to the canonical page URL, not the .json record.
