Methodology
The resale market data for Dubai Harbour apartments covering H1 2025 (January through June 2025) is sourced from Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates resale registrations recorded by the Dubai Land Department. Year-on-year comparisons for average price per square foot and transaction count reference the corresponding January–June 2024 period. Readers should note that reported figures reflect transactions formally registered during the analysis window; however, registration dates may lag the actual sale agreement or handover by several weeks, meaning some transactions completed in late H1 2025 could appear in subsequent reporting periods, while others registered in H1 may relate to earlier agreements. Off-plan transaction counts and values are reported separately and are not included in the resale performance metrics cited above.
