Methodology
This analysis draws on Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates resale registrations from the Dubai Land Department for apartments in Dubai Hills Estate between January 1 and June 30, 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reference the corresponding six-month period in 2024, with percentage changes computed from the same baseline geography and property type to maintain consistency across reporting cycles. The average price per square foot of AED 2,321 reflects completed resale transactions only and excludes off-plan sales, which numbered 1,102 units during the same period; readers should note that transaction registration can lag the actual sale date by several weeks, meaning late-June deals may appear in subsequent reporting windows and affect period-end comparisons.
