Methodology
This report analyzes resale apartment transactions in Dubai Creek Harbour during the first half of 2024 (January 1 to June 30, 2024) using data sourced from Property Monitor's aggregation of Dubai Land Department registration records. Average price per square foot, transaction counts, and total transaction values were calculated from completed resale registrations within the reporting period, with year-over-year comparisons drawn against the corresponding H1 2023 period. Readers should note that registration dates may lag actual sale agreement dates by several weeks, meaning some transactions attributed to H1 2024 may reflect pricing conditions from late 2023, and conversely, agreements signed in June 2024 may appear in subsequent periods if registration occurred after June 30.
