What each size costs in Zaabeel Second
Typical size and price for every bedroom count. A size with at least 15 recorded sales is well evidenced; a size with fewer is still shown, with a red (i) and the number of sales behind it. The Dubai Land Department records the number of bedrooms on nearly every sale, so these figures come from real sales, not estimates. The main price is for the last 12 months. The typical price across every sale on record sits under it.
Rent: the typical rent on new lets, matched by bedrooms or by size.

What it returns
A year of rent compared with what completed homes of that size actually sold for in Zaabeel Second over the same twelve months. Rents come from Ejari rent contracts and prices from recorded sales. Off-plan sales are left out of the price, because rent is paid on built homes and off-plan sells at a premium.
| Size | Price now, ready homes | Rents for | Yield before costs | Ready sales, 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 2.14M | AED 115,000/yrby bedroom · 204 new lets | 5.4% | 36 |
| 2 beds | AED 3.1M | AED 175,000/yrby bedroom · 281 new lets | 5.6% | 49 |
| 3 beds | AED 5.18M | AED 262,000/yrby bedroom · 112 new lets | 5.1% | 32 |
The highest yield before costs here is on a 2 beds at 5.6%. 1-bedroom apartments here yield more than 3-bedroom apartments: 5.4% against 5.1%.
Why this is lower than yields quoted elsewhere
The usual shortcut divides today’s rent by an average price. In a market that has risen as far as Dubai’s, the average is a historical price. Worked out with the typical price across every sale on record (AED 1.89M), a 1 bed here reads 6.1% instead of 5.4%. The yield in the table above uses the AED 2.14M a completed one costs today. Every figure above uses the same twelve months, and completed homes only, on both sides.
What it returns after service charges
We have no recorded budget for this one, so this starts from a placeholder, not a measured figure. The real number is on your service charge invoice, or on RERA’s Service Charge Index. How to check it.
| Size | Charge / year | Rent after it | Yield before costs | Yield after service charge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | AED 12,072 | AED 102,928 | 5.4% | 4.8% |
| 2 beds | AED 18,029 | AED 156,972 | 5.6% | 5.1% |
| 3 beds | AED 26,629 | AED 235,371 | 5.1% | 4.5% |
Only the service charge is taken off.
Yield before costs: a year of rent as a share of the price.

Common questions about Zaabeel Second
How much is rent in Zaabeel Second?
The typical rent (the median: half of the rent contracts were above this, half below) in Zaabeel Second is AED 115,000/yr for a 1-bedroom, AED 175,000/yr for a 2-bedroom and AED 262,000/yr for a 3-bedroom. These rents come from the rent contracts recorded in Ejari (Dubai's rent registration system) in Zaabeel Second over the last twelve months. They are what tenants agreed to pay, not advertised asking rents. Each rent is matched to homes by bedroom count where Ejari records one, which most contracts do, and by floor area where it does not. Each row on this page says which.
How much do properties cost in Zaabeel Second?
The typical price (the median: half sold for more than this, half for less) for residential sales in Zaabeel Second was AED 3,145/sqft over the 30 days to 7 October 2026, from the 37 sales recorded so far for those days. Late records are still arriving, so that count can grow. Over the 12 months to 7 October 2026, homes here typically sold for about AED 3.88M and measured about 1,204 sqft (785 sales). These come from sales recorded by the Dubai Land Department. They are what buyers paid, not asking prices.
What rental yield does Zaabeel Second give?
The yield before costs on ready homes in Zaabeel Second is about 5.4% on a 1-bedroom apartment, 5.6% on a 2-bedroom apartment and 5.1% on a 3-bedroom apartment. That is a year of rent divided by what completed homes of that size sold for over the same twelve months. 1-bedroom apartments here yield more than 3-bedroom apartments: 5.4% against 5.1%. Service charges, agency commission and empty periods are not taken off, and in Dubai the service charge alone commonly takes a fifth to a third of the rent.
Is Zaabeel Second freehold?
Yes. Every unit in Zaabeel Second whose ownership type is recorded in the Land Department's register is freehold, so foreign nationals may own property here outright. The register holds 4,346 units for the area.
How have property prices in Zaabeel Second changed over the last two years?
The typical price (the median: half sold for more than this, half for less) of ready homes in Zaabeel Second was AED 2,769/sqft in Q1 2025 (60 sales), against AED 2,653/sqft in Q4 2024 (84 sales). That is a change of +4.4% across those quarters. By quarter, the typical price of ready homes was AED 2,653/sqft in Q4 2024 and AED 2,769/sqft in Q1 2025. Off-plan sales had a typical price of AED 3,200/sqft in Q3 2026 (62 sales) and are never counted together with ready homes here. These are typical prices of recorded sales, not a price index: a quarter's move against the one before it partly reflects which homes sold.
Is Zaabeel Second mostly off-plan or completed homes?
84% of the 785 sales recorded in Zaabeel Second in the 12 months to 7 October 2026 were off-plan, and the rest were recorded as existing property rather than off-plan. The two sell at different prices, so one price per square foot for both together would describe neither.
Prices by quarter, Q4 2024 to Q3 2026
Typical sale price per sqft in Zaabeel Second, by calendar quarter of the sale date, with ready homes and off-plan sales kept apart. Only complete quarters are shown. A quarter with 60 or more sales is well evidenced; one with fewer is still shown, with a red (i) and the number of sales, and no change against a year earlier is worked out from it.
