Sample: Al Reem 3, Arabian Ranches 1 | 3-bedroom townhouse | Emaar. Saima’s presentation slide uses a 2004 purchase input, an approximate 2007 handover and a 2026 valuation illustration.
| Purchase input, 2004 | AED 1,200,000 |
|---|---|
| Illustrated value, 2026 | AED 4,800,000 |
| Gross capital increase | AED 3,600,000 |
| Capital appreciation | 300% |
| Value multiple | 4.00 times the original price |
| Estimated gross rent, approximately 2007–2026 | AED 2,500,000 |
| Illustrated value plus estimated gross rent | AED 7,300,000 |
| Above original price, before all costs | AED 6,100,000 |
A long holding period changes the comparison
This source example spans approximately 22 years from the initial price date. It should not be compared directly with a four- or five-year example without accounting for time, cash flows, maintenance and market cycles.
What the rental estimate leaves out
The presentation describes AED 2.5 million of estimated gross rent over approximately 19 years. Vacancy, service charges, maintenance, letting, management and financing are not deducted here. The illustration is not a verified account of rent received by a named owner.
Saima’s selection perspective
When using an established community as a benchmark, inspect the actual home, plot, renovation status and position. Community maturity can support a comparison, while the entry price and individual property still need evidence.

Arabian Ranches: value and rental context
Interpretation notes
A four-times property value corresponds to a 300% increase over original price. AED 7.3 million combines the illustrated asset value with estimated gross rent; it is not net profit. The AED 6.1 million figure subtracts the initial price but still excludes all other costs. Historical AUD amounts use the slide’s simplified conversion basis.
