Methodology

This resale market analysis draws on transaction data from Property Monitor, which aggregates Dubai Land Department registrations for secondary-market townhouse sales in DAMAC Lagoons recorded between January 1 and December 31, 2024. Year-on-year comparisons reference the corresponding twelve-month period in 2023, with percentage changes calculated on volume, value, and per-square-foot averages. Off-plan transactions are tracked separately and excluded from resale metrics to maintain segment clarity. One limitation inherent to this dataset is the potential lag between a sale's execution and its formal registration with the Dubai Land Department, meaning transactions agreed late in December 2024 may appear in subsequent reporting periods if registration occurred after year-end, which can marginally affect the final count and period-end price readings.
