Methodology
This analysis of Dubai Harbour's apartment resale market draws on Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department registration records for secondary-market sales completed between 1 January and 31 December 2025. Year-on-year percentage changes compare 2025 full-year totals against the equivalent twelve-month period in 2024. The 637 resale transactions recorded during 2025 represent completed transfers of existing units and exclude off-plan sales, which are captured separately in the dataset and totaled 978 transactions over the same period. Readers should note that registration timing may lag the actual agreement date by several weeks, meaning that transactions registered in late December could reflect deals negotiated in prior months, and conversely, some agreements signed in December 2025 may appear in early 2026 data.
