Methodology
The resale market statistics for District One apartments during the first half of 2025 are sourced from Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations recorded between 1 January and 30 June 2025. Year-over-year comparisons reference the corresponding six-month period in 2024, with percentage changes calculated on both unit volume and average price per square foot metrics. One limitation inherent to this dataset is that registration dates may lag actual sale agreement dates by several weeks, meaning transactions registered in H1 2025 could reflect market conditions from late 2024, potentially affecting the temporal precision of trend analysis when interpreting short-term price movements or comparing activity levels across discrete reporting periods.
