Methodology
This report analyzes Dubai Creek Harbour apartment resale activity during the 2025 calendar year using transaction data from Property Monitor, which aggregates Dubai Land Department registration records. Year-on-year comparisons measure the percentage change between the full 2025 period and the corresponding full 2024 period, with average price per square foot calculated by dividing total transaction value by aggregate built-up area across all registered sales. Readers should note that registration dates may lag actual sale agreements by several weeks, meaning transactions registered in late 2025 could reflect agreements reached in prior months, while some deals concluded in December 2025 may appear in early 2026 records. Off-plan transaction figures are reported separately and excluded from resale price-per-square-foot calculations, as off-plan units are typically sold before construction completion and often lack finalized built-up area measurements at the time of registration.
