Price change
How much the median ready price per sq ft changed. It is worked out home type by home type (class and bedrooms) and weighted by each type’s sales now, so a shift from studios to villas does not read as a change in price.
3 months: the last 3 months against the same months a year before, so a turn in the market shows sooner. 1 year: the last 12 months against the 12 months before. 3 years: the last 12 months against the 12 months that ended three years earlier.
Dubai: the same change for the whole of Dubai, worked out the same way, to read the area against.
5 years: the area report adds the change over 5 years and the yearly growth rate.
A home type counts only with at least 5 ready sales in both periods. Share of the ready sales in the home types compared: 1 year 100% · 3 years 100%.
