Key Objective of PPI Terminal

PPI Terminal is a toolkit designed for quick visual brief-analysis of Dubai’s residential and commercial real estate market segments.

The terminal allows users to:

• evaluate market rate dynamics;
• analyze real estate segments;
• compare market periods;
• track short-term and long-term trends;
• perform initial market analytics without integrating complex API solutions.

Filtering Dubai Property Market Rates

The terminal includes filters by:

• market segments;
• property types;
• locations;
• periods;
• property rates.

Property Segment Filtering

Residential real estate:

• apartments;
• villas;
• townhouses.

Commercial real estate:

• offices;
• retail shops.

Clarification regarding townhouse segmentation

Within datasets provided by Dubai Land Department, a significant number of townhouse properties are classified as:

• Villa;
• Villa Complex.

However, through the analysis of unit areas, geoanalytics, master-project structures, and supplementary marketing sources, a substantial portion of these properties can be accurately formalized as townhouse projects and townhouse-oriented master projects.

This allows the methodology to:

• properly isolate townhouse market segments;
• preserve villa market integrity;
• avoid analytical distortion in property rate calculations.

PPI Terminal Dashboard Functionality

The basic accessible functionality of the terminal is implemented using the ApexCharts visualization library, providing:

• smooth chart rendering;
• comfortable market data perception;
• enhanced usability for screen-based analytics.

Users have access to:

• light interface theme;
• dark interface theme;
• adaptive visualization;
• interactive market charts.

Property Price Indexes API Methodology

All rates and market indexes inside the terminal are calculated using the Property Price Indexes API methodology formed in April 2026.

Methodology Overview

The methodology describes how the Property Price Indexes (PPI) API calculates monthly:

• sale price indicators;
• rental rate indicators;
• Cap Rate indicators.

All rates are calculated with precision up to two decimal places in AED and USD for residential and commercial real estate market analysis in Dubai.

Data Sources

The calculations are based on:

• officially registered sales transactions from Dubai Land Department;
• Ejari rental contracts;
• geoanalytical datasets;
• master-project and community structures.

Data Aggregation Approach
