Definition and method
Registered residential sales from ADREC's transaction-level sales export: apartments, duplexes, penthouses, villas and townhouses; court-mandated sales excluded. Medians use full-share sales with a recorded floor area, a price above AED 50,000 and AED 100 to 30,000 per sq ft.
ADREC's dashboard financing tally counts a different number of home sales per year (7,713 in 2020 against 11,670 here); this series uses the transaction-level export on one basis for every year. Year-end registration peaks make single quarters lumpy.
