Methodology
The resale transaction data presented in this report is sourced from Property Monitor's aggregation of Dubai Land Department registration records for Bluewaters Island apartments during the first half of 2025, covering the period from 1 January to 30 June 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reflect the corresponding H1 2024 period, with percentage changes calculated on both transaction volume and average price per square foot metrics. Readers should note that registration dates may lag actual transaction agreement dates by several weeks, meaning that deals negotiated in late 2024 could appear in the H1 2025 dataset if registration was delayed, which may affect the precise periodization of market shifts captured in the year-on-year comparison.
