Methodology
The resale market data for Dubai Hills Estate townhouses and villas presented in this report derives from Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations recorded between 1 July and 30 September 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reference the corresponding quarter in 2024, with percentage changes calculated on both transaction volumes and average price per square foot metrics. Readers should note that Dubai Land Department registration dates may lag actual sale agreement dates by several weeks, meaning transactions recorded in Q3 2025 could reflect deals negotiated in prior periods; this temporal offset can affect the interpretation of quarter-on-quarter momentum, particularly during periods of rapid market adjustment or policy change.
