Methodology
This analysis draws on Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations for City Walk apartments between January 1 and 2025 and June 30, 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reference the corresponding six-month period in 2024 (H1 2024), with percentage changes calculated on both volume and value metrics. The report presents resale activity separately from off-plan transactions, which are tracked but not combined in price-per-square-foot averages; readers should note that registration timing may introduce a lag between contract signing and official recording, meaning some transactions completed near period boundaries could fall outside the stated coverage window.
