Definition and method
Areas are ADREC registered districts. 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.
Price changes by area are shown only where both quarters have at least 100 cleaned sales; launch-area medians move with what sold.
