The dates are our estimate: we spread the construction share evenly between now and the keys. The developer's real dates follow the building work, so they can move.
Your payments go into the project's escrow account, which RERA watches, not straight to the developer.

A mortgage at the keys

Add a mortgage for the balance due at the keysUp to 80% of the price.

Before you buy

Pay into the project's escrow account only.: Every off-plan project in Dubai must have an escrow account at a bank, watched by RERA. Pay into that account, never to a person. Ask for the account number.
Budget for the service charge.: Once the building is finished you pay a yearly service charge per sq ft, set from the building's budget and approved by RERA. "Rent and yield" below gives the figure for this project.
Register the sale with Oqood.: The Land Department records off-plan sales in its Oqood register. Until your sale is on it, the home isn't in your name.

Is the price fair?

⁠

Dubai Land Department recorded 198 off-plan sales of 3-bed villas of 1,397 sq ft to 2,095 sq ft in Wadi Al Safa 5, from Nov 10, 2025 to Nov 9, 2026. Here is what they sold for, and where this project's from price sits.

We compare with off-plan sales across Wadi Al Safa 5, as this project isn't on the Dubai Land Department register yet or has too few sales.

Rent and yield

Gross yield at the from price⁠Rent ÷ price: 7%
Net yield at the from price⁠(Rent − service charge) ÷ (price + DLD fee): 5.6%
Typical gross yield of similar ready homes: 5.3%
Median rent of 3-bed villas in Arabian Ranches 3⁠: AED 165,000 a year
Service charge a year, from the keys⁠The area median, AED 13 per sq ft from 8 buildings, as of 2023, for the smallest home (1,984 sq ft): AED 25,792
Rent contracts counted: 980
Rented between: Apr 1, 2025 and Mar 31, 2026

3-bed villa: AED 165,000 a year
4-bed villa: AED 210,000 a year

Gross yield is a year's rent before costs, as a share of the price. At the from price: AED 165,000 ÷ AED 2,370,000 = 7%. The home earns nothing until the keys, and new buildings often rent for more than older ones.

We don't take off empty months, management or furnishing. How we work out yields

Rents come from Ejari, Dubai's register of rent contracts: new residential contracts in the area, all buildings. A median is the middle one: half are lower, half higher.

About May

May is an Emaar Properties townhouse project in Arabian Ranches 3, with three- and four-bedroom homes from AED 2,370,000 and a listed handover of September 2027. Each home is a two-storey standalone townhouse with a garden, a maid's room and a carport for two cars.

80% of the price is due during construction. The plan is 10% on booking, 80% during construction and 10% at handover: AED 237,000, AED 1,896,000 and AED 237,000 at the from price. Separately, the 4% DLD fee comes to AED 94,800; ask when it is due.

The listed handover is September 2027, about ten months from now. Ask Emaar for a construction update and the dates of the construction payments before you book. The price check for this project isn't reliable enough to quote, so ask for the price and size of the exact unit you are offered.

Three-bedroom homes measure about 1,984 to 2,035 sq ft and four-bedroom homes about 2,457 to 2,461 sq ft. You choose between two architectural styles, Aria and Iris. Each townhouse has two storeys, a terrace, balconies, a garden area, a maid's room that has its own bathroom, and a carport for two cars.

A clinic is about 1.4 km away. The nearest school, Gems First Point School (The Villa), is about 4.9 km away, around 14 minutes by car, and Jumeirah English Speaking School about 6.1 km. Arabian Ranches Golf Club and GEMS Wellington Academy are both about 7.5 km away. Equiti Metro Station (formerly First Abu Dhabi Bank) is about 13.7 km away, around 23 minutes by car.
