JVC Rental Transaction Data: Rents, Yields & Trends (Jumeirah Village Circle)

Registered rental transaction data is the cleanest way to understand what tenants actually pay in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) — not asking prices, but the rents written into signed Ejari contracts. Across the last 12 months, the median registered rent in JVC was AED 85,000/year (about AED 7,083/month), drawn from 15,410 contracts. That sample size is exactly why JVC transaction data is so useful: enough volume to produce stable medians and a reliable picture of JVC rent prices by bedroom, size, and segment.

This post breaks down the registered numbers for Jumeirah Village Circle rental data and then shows you how to pull the same figures yourself through the BayutAPI transactions endpoint. Every figure below comes from registered tenancy contracts — DLD-registered transactions surfaced by Bayut and delivered as JSON. It builds on the methodology in our Dubai real estate transaction data guide.

Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) rental snapshot (last 12 months)

The table below summarizes registered Ejari contracts in JVC over the trailing 12 months. These are signed tenancy values — the rent the tenant and landlord actually agreed — not advertised listings.

Metric	Value
Median annual rent	AED 85,000/year
Median monthly rent	AED 7,083/month
25th–75th percentile band	AED 62,000–110,000/year
Median rent per sqft (annual)	AED 92.7/sqft/year
Median unit size	912 sqft
Contracts analysed	15,410
Year-over-year rent change	0%

A few things stand out. The middle 50% of contracts sit between AED 62,000 and AED 110,000 per year — a wide band that reflects JVC’s mix of compact studios and larger three- and four-bed units. The median rent per sqft is AED 92.7/sqft/year (this is annual rent divided by area, not a sale price). And year-over-year rent change came in at 0%, meaning the community held flat over the period rather than rising or falling.

The sample is registered Ejari contracts — DLD-registered, accessed via Bayut — covering the last 12 months. Because these are registered transactions, they describe what was paid, not what was asked. For the definition of the registry behind these figures, see Ejari.

Rent by bedroom in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC)

Bedroom count is the single biggest driver of rent in JVC. The medians below are registered annual rents for the last 12 months.

Bedrooms	Median annual rent
Studio	AED 44,100/year
1 bedroom	AED 85,000/year
2 bedrooms	AED 95,000/year
3 bedrooms	AED 155,000/year
4+ bedrooms	AED 200,000/year

By property type, the split is just as clear:

Property type	Median annual rent
Apartments	AED 83,000/year
Villas	AED 180,000/year

JVC is predominantly an apartment community, so the overall median of AED 85,000/year tracks closely with the apartment median of AED 83,000/year. Villas and townhouses pull the top of the range upward — the AED 180,000/year villa median and the AED 200,000/year 4+ bedroom figure explain why the 75th percentile reaches AED 110,000/year while the studio median sits near AED 44,100/year.

Pull Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) transactions yourself

Every number above is reproducible from the API. The flow is two steps: resolve the JVC location ID once with autocomplete, then query transactions with purpose=for-rent.

Step 1: Look up the JVC location ID

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://uae-real-estate3.p.rapidapi.com/autocomplete?query=jumeirah%20village%20circle' \
  --header 'x-rapidapi-host: uae-real-estate3.p.rapidapi.com' \
  --header 'x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

The response returns location suggestions with their external IDs. Grab the ID for Jumeirah Village Circle and reuse it as location_ids — it does not change.

Step 2: Request registered rental transactions

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://uae-real-estate3.p.rapidapi.com/transactions?purpose=for-rent&location_ids=JVC_ID&category_ids=apartments&time_period=12m&sort_by=date_desc&page=1' \
  --header 'x-rapidapi-host: uae-real-estate3.p.rapidapi.com' \
  --header 'x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

The same call with purpose=for-sale returns registered sale transactions for JVC instead — useful if you want to pair rents against sale prices to estimate yield.

In Python, paginate through the registered rental contracts (20 per page):

import requests
from statistics import median

URL = "https://uae-real-estate3.p.rapidapi.com/transactions"
HEADERS = {
    "x-rapidapi-host": "uae-real-estate3.p.rapidapi.com",
    "x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
}
JVC_ID = "..."  # value from /autocomplete

def fetch_rentals(max_pages: int = 50) -> list[dict]:
    """Collect registered JVC rental transactions across pages."""
    out, page = [], 1
    while page <= max_pages:
        resp = requests.get(URL, headers=HEADERS, params={
            "purpose": "for-rent",
            "location_ids": JVC_ID,
            "category_ids": "apartments",
            "time_period": "12m",
            "sort_by": "date_desc",
            "page": str(page),
        })
        resp.raise_for_status()
        data = resp.json().get("data", {})
        hits = data.get("hits", [])  # transactions uses 'hits'
        if not hits:
            break
        out.extend(hits)
        page += 1
    return out

rentals = fetch_rentals()
print(f"Collected {len(rentals)} JVC rental transactions")

The transactions endpoint uniquely returns records under data.hits (alongside data.nbHits, data.page, and data.nbPages). Each hit carries price, area, rooms, category, completionStatus, and date.

Step 3: Compute median rent per sqft

Rent per square foot normalizes across unit sizes. Divide each contract’s annual rent (price) by its area, then take the median:

def median_rent_psf(transactions: list[dict]) -> float:
    psf = [
        tx["price"] / tx["area"]
        for tx in transactions
        if tx.get("price") and tx.get("area")
    ]
    if not psf:
        return 0.0
    return round(median(psf), 1)

print(f"JVC median rent per sqft: AED {median_rent_psf(rentals)}/sqft/year")
# e.g. JVC median rent per sqft: AED 92.7/sqft/year

To slice by bedroom — for example studios only — add the beds filter ("0" is a studio; comma-separate for multiple, e.g. "1,2"). You can also bound results with price_min / price_max and area_min / area_max to isolate a segment.

What the data means for investors and renters

For investors, the headline is stability. A 0% year-over-year change means JVC rents held flat over the trailing 12 months — neither the rapid escalation seen in some premium communities nor a correction. Flat registered rents on a high-volume community signal a mature, liquid rental market where the median is a dependable input for an investment-analysis model. Pair these registered rents with registered sale prices (purpose=for-sale) to compute gross rental yield, following the approach in Analyzing UAE rental yields.

The percentile spread matters just as much as the median. The AED 62,000–110,000/year middle band is wide because JVC packs studios, one-beds, and family villas into the same community. If you are budgeting or pricing a single unit, the bedroom-level medians above are far more actionable than the blended AED 85,000/year figure — a studio (AED 44,100/year) and a 4+ bedroom unit (AED 200,000/year) live at opposite ends of that band.

A descriptive note for context: roughly 44% of the registered contracts in this period were renewals rather than new leases. That renewal share is a behavioural signal — it suggests a large base of tenants choosing to stay put, consistent with the flat year-over-year movement — but it is not a price metric and should not be read as one.

For renters, the same registered figures are a negotiating baseline. Knowing that the median one-bed sits at AED 85,000/year and the 25th percentile across the community is AED 62,000/year tells you where a fair offer falls before you ever see an asking price.
