Despite decline in rentals and slowdown in overall real estate market, some section of Dubai's property market still offer decent rental yield of high single digit to investors.

A popular area for the working class, property prices in International City had dropped 2.6 per cent but it offers strong rental yield of 8.6 per cent to property owners. Jumeirah Village Triangle, which is still under development, is also attracting a good number of tenants and is considered good for people working in Dubai South and communities linked to Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. Prices in JVT had dropped 2 per cent in the past 6 months but apartments there fetched 8.45 rental yield year-to-date.
