Methodology
The resale market data presented for Dubai Marina apartments in H1 2025 was sourced from Property Monitor's transaction register, which aggregates Dubai Land Department resale registrations recorded between January 1 and June 30, 2025. Year-on-year comparisons reference the corresponding six-month period in 2024 (H1 2024), with percentage changes calculated on the basis of nominal transaction counts and price-per-square-foot averages weighted by unit size. Readers should note that registration dates may lag actual sale agreement dates by several weeks, meaning transactions attributed to H1 2025 could reflect deals negotiated in late 2024, and conversely, some agreements signed in June 2025 may appear in subsequent reporting periods if registration formalities extended beyond the cutoff date.
