Methodology
This analysis draws from Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations for apartment units in Dubai Hills Estate during Q3 2025 (July 1 through September 30, 2025). Year-on-year comparisons reference the corresponding quarter in 2024, with metrics including average price per square foot, transaction count, and total transaction value computed from the 273 recorded resale completions. One technical limitation readers should note is that Dubai Land Department registration dates may lag actual sale agreement dates by several weeks, meaning transactions attributed to Q3 2025 could reflect pricing negotiations concluded in prior periods, which may affect the temporal precision of quarter-to-quarter trend analysis.
