Methodology
This analysis draws on transaction data from Property Monitor, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations for DAMAC Hills apartments during Q3 2025, covering the period from July 1 to September 30, 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reflect changes from the corresponding quarter in 2024, with average price per square foot and transaction count calculated exclusively from completed resale transactions recorded in the Property Monitor register. One limitation affecting temporal comparability is that registration timing may lag actual sale agreement dates by several weeks, meaning transactions attributed to Q3 2025 could reflect market conditions from late Q2, and month-end surges in registration activity can create artificial volatility in shorter measurement windows.
