How we compute these figures
- Every week we read all transactions published by the Dubai Land Department.
- We keep home sales only: apartments, villas, townhouses and penthouses.
- Mortgages, gifts, offices and land plots are excluded.
- An area groups the sales of its community, under the name the register gives it.
- Price per m² is a median. Below 20 sales, no price is published.
- A change is published only with at least 50 sales in each of the two periods.
A median also moves with what sells: a quarter with many luxury handovers pulls it up without prices having changed. Read a price change next to the number of sales.
