- The resale series is layout-matched but island-wide across projects. It is a market indicator, not a guarantee of appreciation for any single tower or layout.
- Off-plan primary year-on-year medians (for example studio roughly 1,241 to 1,745 AED per sqft; 1 bed 1,122 to 1,863; 2 bed 1,075 to 1,821; 3 bed 1,017 to 1,702 across 2023 to 2026) reflect changing launch mix and sub-locations each year. Use as market context only, not as a headline appreciation percentage.
- Developer list prices and payment schedules stay gated on registration. These tables are aggregate registered-transaction benchmarks only.
