Dubai Wealth Index

How every figure is defined and computed: the glossary (gross yield, yield price, turnover upside, off-plan uplift, growth windows, publication gates), the provenance of each source, and the short-term cost-model constants with their live values. Read it before quoting a figure you have not quoted before. Yields are gross, rents are registered rather than asking, and short-term occupancy is a stated assumption — never a measurement.

get_methodology

Dubai citywide: how many buildings, registered transactions and rent contracts the index rests on, the median yield, price per sq ft, rent and growth, and the same medians for every area — or every villa community with propertyType "villa". Ordered and capped: by building count for coverage, by yield or growth to pick where to look. Use it to answer "where in Dubai" questions, choose an area before drilling in, or state the index's coverage.

get_city_overview

Which data edition is current and every edition published. With `since`: which buildings entered or left the published index between that edition and now, on the sale and the rent side. Add `buildings` for how up to ten buildings' median price, rent and yield moved between the two editions. A building that disappears has NOT stopped existing — it fell below the publication gate. Read this before re-reading records you already hold: the data refreshes roughly monthly and every payload states its date.

whats_new

One Dubai APARTMENT area (Business Bay, Dubai Marina, JVC…): its median gross yield, price per sq ft, rent and 12-month growth, medians by bedroom type, and every building it publishes ordered by the number you choose — unpublishable yields last rather than hidden. Also lists buildings that trade but sit below the publication gate, so the set is never mistaken for the whole market. Area aliases and DLD registration names resolve. Villa communities are not areas: they publish through get_villa_community, and a community handed here says so.

get_area

Shortlist Dubai buildings on your own thresholds, citywide or across chosen areas: price band, minimum gross yield, minimum registered evidence, bedroom type, own-rent-evidence only, let buildings only, name match — e.g. "Business Bay 1-beds under AED 1.5m above 6.5% with at least 10 sales". Thresholds apply to registered medians, not to listings for sale. Runs the same predicate as the site's screener, CSV export and saved-view alerts, so an agent and a reader get the same set. A building below the publication gate cannot appear at any threshold, because the evidence for its median does not exist.

screen_buildings

What a Dubai apartment building sells for, rents for and yields: median registered sale price and price per sq ft, registered rent, gross rental yield with the price it was computed on, price and rent growth with both comparison windows, turnover upside, off-plan uplift and the modelled short-term (Airbnb) return, each with its sample size. Medians of Dubai Land Department sales and Ejari contracts, never asking prices. Three sizes: "compact" (default) answers ONE bedroom type; "report" answers the whole building in one call — every publishable bedroom type, growth evidence, area benchmark, trend, and each suppressed figure with the gate it missed; "full" is the raw public JSON record including ineligible rows. Accepts a plain or marketing name; `resolved` says what it matched and how confidently.

get_building

One published league table, citywide or for one area: highest gross rental yields, fastest price growth, best off-plan resale returns, biggest turnover upside, or biggest short-term premium. Ordered by exactly one published number, with the method behind it. A ranking exists only where at least ten buildings qualify, and it is a list of outliers by construction — never present one as exhaustive. For your own thresholds (budget, minimum yield, minimum evidence) call screen_buildings instead.

get_ranking

Retrieve a full document by the id a search hit returned, or by any canonical URL on this site. Returns the record as markdown — the same rendition the URL itself serves, so a quote from it and a quote from the page cannot differ. It is the only way in to the families no typed tool covers: off-plan projects and handovers, short-term hubs, developers, commercial offices and shops, the bedroom-cut category pages, the rankings index, the methodology and the prose pages. A retired building reports as retired with its area, never as a silent redirect.

fetch

One Dubai villa or townhouse community (Arabian Ranches, The Springs, The Valley…): median registered sale price or rent, price per sq ft, gross yield with the rent grain it rests on, 12-month growth, and the same by bedroom count. Community grain only — the Land Department records no building for a villa, so nothing finer exists; that is the register's classification, not a gap. To compare communities, call this once per community on the same purpose and bedroom. detail "full" adds the yearly and monthly series and the plot register.

get_villa_community

Search published Dubai projects and inspect pending registered units by locality, property type, progress and planned-date horizon. Completed and cancelled projects are excluded. Horizons start at the source register date, not today; overdue and unknown dates are separate. Counts cover the published named-project cohort, not all Dubai homes; planned dates are not delivery forecasts. Return pagination, coverage and the matching website URL. Use this for planned supply questions instead of inferring supply from sale volumes.
