Methodology
The resale market data for DAMAC Hills townhouses and villas in Q1 2025 derives from Property Monitor's aggregation of Dubai Land Department registration records covering the period January 1 to March 31, 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reference the equivalent quarter in 2024, with the average price per square foot of AED 1,617 representing a 12.0% increase and the transaction count of 104 units reflecting 16.9% growth over that prior-year baseline. One methodological limitation is that registration dates may lag actual sale agreements by several weeks, meaning transactions recorded in Q1 2025 could reflect market conditions from late 2024, and the distinction between off-plan sales (18 transactions valued at AED 188,458,790) and completed resale units (104 transactions) depends on registration coding that may not uniformly capture partial handovers or final payment stages across all developments.
