The resale market data for DAMAC Hills townhouses and villas covering the first half of 2025 (January 1 to June 30) derives from Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates resale registrations filed with the Dubai Land Department. Year-on-year comparisons reference the corresponding H1 2024 period to isolate seasonal effects. The analysis reports 203 resale transactions valued at AED 987,419,999 and an average price per square foot of AED 1670, reflecting a 13.2 percent and 5.2 percent annual increase respectively, while off-plan activity comprised 37 transactions totaling AED 404,215,220.
