Methodology

This analysis examines townhouse and villa resale activity in DAMAC Hills 2 during the first half of 2025, spanning January 1 through June 30, using transaction data from Property Monitor's aggregation of Dubai Land Department resale registrations. Year-on-year comparisons reference the equivalent six-month period in 2024 to derive percentage changes in average price per square foot and transaction volume. Readers should note that the dataset distinguishes between resale transactions (393 units) and off-plan registrations (1354 units), which represent different stages of the property lifecycle; resale figures reflect secondary market activity in completed or nearly completed properties, while off-plan registrations capture primary sales of units still under construction, and these categories are not directly comparable in terms of pricing dynamics or buyer profiles.
