Methodology
This analysis of Arabian Ranches townhouse resale activity during Q1 2026 draws on Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations for the period January 1 through March 31, 2026. Year-on-year comparisons measure changes against the corresponding quarter in 2025, with the average price per square foot calculated by dividing total transaction value by aggregate registered area across the 30 recorded sales. Readers should note that transaction counts reflect registration dates rather than agreement dates, meaning deals closed in late 2025 but registered in early 2026 may appear in this period's figures, while agreements signed in Q1 2026 but registered later would be excluded, introducing potential timing discrepancies in quarterly trend analysis.
