Methodology
This report analyzes resale apartment transactions in Dubai Harbour for the third quarter of 2025 (July 1 through September 30, 2025) using data from Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations. Year-on-year comparisons reference the equivalent quarter in 2024, with percentage changes calculated on a like-for-like basis. The reported average price per square foot of AED 3,815 reflects completed resale transactions only and may not capture the full market picture during periods when off-plan sales significantly outnumber resale activity, as occurred in Q3 2025 when off-plan transactions exceeded resale by 28 percent, potentially indicating a market skew toward newly launched inventory rather than secondary stock turnover.
