Methodology
This analysis of District One apartment resales during Q3 2025 (July through September) draws exclusively from Property Monitor's aggregation of Dubai Land Department registration records, with year-over-year comparisons calculated against the corresponding quarter in 2024. The dataset captured 45 resale transactions in the review period, yielding metrics such as average price per square foot and total transacted value, while off-plan activity in the same community and property type is reported separately to distinguish secondary market transfers from developer sales. Readers should note that registration timing may lag actual sale agreements by several weeks, meaning transactions recorded in Q3 could reflect deals negotiated in prior periods, and the modest absolute count of resales can amplify percentage swings when compared across years.
