The latest contracts
The individual registered contracts behind the numbers on this page, newest first. The filters above apply to them. This card holds the newest 300 contracts of the area you pick, so a narrow filter can leave fewer than five, and it will say so rather than show an empty box. No names appear here: the register holds none, and none is shown.
Rent for the same home
A middle rent moves whenever the mix of what got rented moves. One year more studios go out, the next more family homes, and the middle number swings even if no landlord changed a price. This line does not move for that reason. It holds the area, the exact floor size and the bedroom description fixed, so only the year is allowed to change. The first year on the chart is 100, so a reading of 130 means rent is 30% higher than it was then. A renewal is capped by law and a new letting is not, so the two are drawn separately, and the gap between them is the part worth looking at.
What a home rents for
The middle rent for the slice you picked, with the shaded band showing the middle half of all contracts, so you can see the spread and not just one number. Read the middle line as what a normal home costs, and the band as how far either side of normal the market actually goes. Every point is a real median worked out from the contracts themselves, never an average of other averages.
A new letting against a renewal
This is the most useful chart here. A renewal is capped by law, a new letting is not. So the gap between the two lines is what a sitting tenant is quietly saving by not moving, and what a landlord picks up the day that tenant leaves. The green line is that gap as a percentage, read on the right hand side.
Change against the year before
How much the middle rent moved against the same point a year earlier. Green is up, red is down. The filters stay the same at both ends, so with a single area and bedroom count picked this is close to like for like. Left on everything, it will also move when the mix of what gets rented moves.
Rent for each square foot
The yearly rent divided by the size of the home, across the contracts that carry a size. About one contract in eight has no size recorded and those are left out of this chart only. It is the fairest way to compare a small home in an expensive area against a large one somewhere cheaper.
What people actually pay
The full spread of rents in your slice, one bar for each price band. A median hides this completely. Two areas can share the same middle rent while one is packed tightly around it and the other is half cheap studios and half large family homes. The top and bottom 2% are trimmed so one palace does not flatten everything else.
Rent by bedroom count
The middle rent for each size, on the filters you have set. Bedroom counts come from what Ejari recorded on the contract, so anything the registry never classified is left out rather than guessed at.
Rent by kind of space
Every kind of space in the registry, not only homes. Ejari files almost everything as a unit, so an office, a shop and a room in a labour camp all sit in the same field as apartments. They are separated here by what the contract actually describes, which is why these numbers are not what the raw file would give you.
Contracts signed
How many rent contracts were registered in each period. This counts activity, not price. The last period is almost always partly filled, because a contract reaches the registry after it is signed.
The most expensive areas
Ranked by the middle rent on your current filters. An area needs at least 200 contracts in the window to appear, so nothing here rests on a handful of deals.
The most affordable areas
The same ranking from the other end. Useful for finding where a given budget still buys space, and worth reading next to the busiest list, because the cheapest areas are not always the ones people are actually renting in.
The busiest areas
Ranked by how many contracts were signed. This is where the market actually is, which is often not where the headlines are.
