Method
Figures are medians over recorded ADREC sale transactions — settled deals, not asking prices or portal listings. Median AED per built-up square foot is converted from the registry's square-metre basis at 10.7639 sqft per sqm. A median can move because the mix of what sold changed, not only because prices changed. Districts are published only where at least 30 sales are on record. This is market information for professional use, not investment, valuation, legal or tax advice.
