The sale medians cover five years. Area rent is separate context; no yield is calculated against these historical sale medians.

Rents cover the whole community, not this building alone. They are the median Ejari rent for each home size. The rent-to-price comparison uses area rent and this building's sale median, before costs. It is not an observed building lease yield. Publisher contract sample, register data to 22 Oct 2026; the lease period is not stated.
