Methodology
The resale market data presented in this report derives from Property Monitor's aggregation of Dubai Land Department transaction registrations for villa sales in Arabian Ranches between 1 January and 30 June 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reference the equivalent six-month period in 2024, with percentage changes calculated on both transaction volume and average price per square foot metrics. A key limitation to note is that the data captures only completed registrations at the Land Department, meaning transactions initiated late in the reporting period may not yet appear in the H1 2025 figures if legal formalities remained pending at the close of June, potentially understating final volumes and introducing minor lag effects when comparing sequential reporting periods.
