How the eight answers are made
- One entry = one unit type in one tower. A completed tower needs 5 or more resale sales of the type in the 12 months to 9 October 2026. Bulk transfers, same-price transfers and sizes that do not fit the type are left out.
- A mark out of 100 = the rank of the tower among the towers with the same unit type in Business Bay. 100 = the best, 50 = the middle. A test with more than one part uses the average of the ranks.
- The yield investor: the highest gross yield, with rent adverts that go fast and seldom cut the price.
- The flipper: owners who sold gained most a year, with many sales, asking prices above sold prices and few months of supply.
- The cautious buyer: a steady price, a small largest fall, few owners who sold at a loss, many sales and few months of supply.
- The owner-occupier: shops and food, the metro and the canal close by, a home larger than the usual one of its type, in a tall tower.
- The short-let host: the highest short-let gross yield (median nightly price, 365 nights, 60% full), many short-let adverts for each 100 homes, and a brand on the door.
- The mortgage buyer: a lower price, few owners who sold at a loss, asking prices close to sold prices (a small valuation gap) and many sales for the bank to compare.
- The off-plan buyer: sales in the last 90 days, a handover that is close, a payment plan on record and a price per sq ft below the resale median of the type.
- The golden visa buyer: homes that sold for AED 2m or more (the 10-year visa threshold), ranked on low risk and high yield.
- Short-let yield assumes 365 nights at 60% full at the median nightly price found in short-let adverts. Before fees, cleaning, licence and empty weeks. Rules for short lets change; check the current rule before you buy.
- The mortgage figure is indicative: 20% down, 25 years, 4.5% a year. Banks lend less to non-residents and charge their own rates.
- Golden Visa: the AED 2m threshold is the rule as we read it in October 2026; the authority decides. We rank towers whose homes sold at or above it; we do not check any single home.
- Months: each month's page is kept. A later month does not change an earlier one.
- Limits: Business Bay only. Past results, not a forecast and not advice. Nobody visited the towers.
