Methodology
The resale market analysis for District 11 townhouses during Q1 2025 (January 1 to March 31, 2025) draws from Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations. Average price per square foot, transaction count, and total transaction value are calculated from 50 recorded resale transactions totaling AED 208,366,009, with year-on-year comparisons referencing the corresponding quarter in 2024. Off-plan transactions (5 units, AED 15,196,052) are reported separately and excluded from resale metrics. Readers should note that Dubai Land Department registration dates may lag actual contract signing by several weeks, meaning transactions finalized in late Q4 2024 could appear in Q1 2025 data, and conversely, late-quarter deals may register in subsequent periods, affecting period-to-period comparability.
