How to read this data

Figures come from the official Dubai Land Department registry (DLD area: "Palm Deira"), synced nightly. "Registered sales" reflects the registration date, not the signing date: off-plan deals are typically registered once ~20-24% is paid, i.e. 1-3 months after the sale; the secondary market registers at closing and is near real-time. Median computed on the area's prevalent type (apartments). Data coverage from January 2023.
