Methodology

This analysis of District 11 townhouse resales during Q1 2026 (January 1 to March 31, 2026) draws on Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations. The report cites 40 resale transactions totaling AED 165,438,146, with an average price per square foot of AED 1,386; year-over-year comparisons reference the equivalent quarter in 2025. Off-plan transactions (6 units totaling AED 47,339,883) are tracked separately and excluded from resale metrics. One technical limitation is that Dubai Land Department registrations reflect contract-signing dates rather than sale-agreement dates, introducing a lag that can shift transactions between reporting periods and affect quarter-to-quarter comparability, particularly in low-volume segments.
