Methodology

All resale market figures in this report are derived from Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department registration records for Arabian Ranches villa transactions completed between 1 January 2025 and 31 December 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reference the equivalent calendar period in 2024, with percentage changes computed on a like-for-like basis using the same property type filter. Off-plan transactions are reported separately and excluded from resale averages to prevent category mixing. One important limitation is that registration dates may lag actual sale agreement dates by several weeks, meaning transactions appearing in a given quarter could reflect price negotiations concluded in an earlier period, which may affect the temporal precision of short-term trend analysis.
