Methodology
The resale market analysis for Al Barari villas in Q1 2025 draws from Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations recorded between January 1 and March 31, 2025. Year-over-year comparisons reference the corresponding quarter in 2024, with the average price per square foot of AED 2,196 representing a 36.2% increase and the transaction count of 18 sales marking a 12.5% rise from Q1 2024. Readers should note that villa transactions in this community represent a relatively small sample size during the quarter, meaning individual high-value or atypical sales can exert disproportionate influence on aggregate metrics such as average price per square foot, and may not reflect broader pricing patterns across all villa segments or sale dates within the period.
