Methodology
All resale transaction data for District One apartments in this report derive from Property Monitor's aggregation of Dubai Land Department registration records covering the full calendar year 2025, with year-over-year comparisons calculated against the equivalent 2024 period. The average price per square foot of AED 2,169 reflects completed resale transactions only and excludes off-plan sales, which are tracked separately due to differences in valuation timing and contract structure. Readers should note that registration dates may lag actual sale agreements by several weeks, meaning transactions recorded in late 2025 could reflect pricing negotiations concluded earlier in the fourth quarter, and conversely, some agreements finalized in December 2025 may appear in early 2026 data.
