Introducing Market Insights: Data-Driven Dubai Real Estate Analysis

Why We're Starting This Blog

We built distressed.ae because we were tired of making investment decisions based on agent opinions and listing portal asking prices. So we went to the source — the Dubai Land Department — and built tools on top of 3.3 million actual sale transactions and 1.8 million Ejari rental contracts.

Now we're opening up our analysis to everyone.

What You'll Find Here

Every article on this blog is powered by real government data, not surveys or estimates. Here's what we'll be publishing:

Monthly Area Deep-Dives

We'll pick a Dubai community each month and give you the full picture: average prices per square foot, transaction volumes, price trends, top-performing buildings, and rental yields. All backed by DLD data.

Quarterly Overpayment Index

Which areas are overpriced right now? Where are buyers paying above market averages? Our Overpayment Index ranks every major Dubai community so you know where the value is — and where it isn't.

Rental Yield Reports

Using Ejari data (actual rental contracts, not advertised rents), we'll show you which areas and buildings deliver the best rental returns. No guesswork, just verified yields.

Building Comparisons

Thinking about JBR vs Dubai Marina? Downtown vs Business Bay? We'll compare buildings head-to-head using transaction history, price trends, and rental data.

Investor Guides

From understanding DLD fees to calculating ROI, we'll publish practical guides for anyone investing in Dubai real estate.
