Methodology
The resale market data for City Walk apartments during the 2025 calendar year derives from Property Monitor's aggregation of Dubai Land Department registration records, covering transactions completed between January 1 and December 31, 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reference the equivalent twelve-month period in 2024, with percentage changes calculated on a like-for-like basis using the same data source and property type filter. Readers should note that registration timestamps may lag actual sale agreement dates by several weeks, meaning transactions recorded in late 2025 could reflect purchase decisions made in preceding months, and conversely some late-year agreements may appear in subsequent reporting periods. This timing variance is inherent to registry-based analysis and affects the precision of period-end snapshots.
