Rents are monthly (yearly asking rent ÷ 12) from 1,371 listings; prices from 716 apartment and 59 villa listings on Hagzi, collected 10 October 2026. A dash means fewer than 8 listings. Yield is asking rent ÷ asking price for same-size apartments and overstates typical returns because the rent listings skew furnished. Method
