Methodology
This report analyzes resale villa transactions in Arabian Ranches 2 during the first quarter of 2026 (January 1 to March 31, 2026), drawing exclusively from Property Monitor's aggregation of Dubai Land Department registration records. Year-on-year comparisons reference the corresponding quarter in 2025 (Q1 2025) to isolate seasonal effects, with percentage changes calculated on both price per square foot metrics and transaction volumes. Readers should note that Dubai Land Department registrations reflect the date a sale is officially recorded rather than the date of initial agreement, meaning timing lags between contract signing and registration can affect quarter-to-quarter comparability, particularly during periods when administrative processing times fluctuate or when buyers and sellers delay formal registration for tax or financial planning purposes.
