Methodology
This analysis of DAMAC Hills apartment resale activity during calendar year 2025 draws on transaction records aggregated by Property Monitor from the Dubai Land Department's official registration database, covering the period January 1 through December 31, 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reference the corresponding 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 dates may lag actual transaction agreement dates by several weeks, meaning fourth-quarter 2025 figures could include deals negotiated in late 2024, and conversely some late-2025 agreements may appear in early 2026 data, affecting period-end comparability for time-sensitive applications.
