Sales and value against the previous 7 days
The 476 deals were about 4% fewer than the 497 daily average of the previous seven days. Total value was AED 1.06 billion, around 24% lower than the average of AED 1.39 billion a day over the same period.
The median sale price was AED 1.29 million, and the average price was AED 1,687 per sq ft. This is a single day's figure, so it should be read alongside the weekly picture rather than as a trend on its own.
