Completed quarters are used instead of raw 1-month changes because DLD registrations typically lag 4–8 weeks and thin monthly samples can overstate changes in the mix of homes sold.
The headline median blends ready resale with off-plan (developer) sales — about 58% of recorded sales here are off-plan. A ready-only split is added on the next DLD data refresh.

Composite of leverage trend, transaction velocity, asking-vs-realized wedge, market-temperature proxy, and off-plan share. Exact scores require at least 4 of 5 inputs; lower coverage is shown as a tier only. Higher = more vulnerable to a downturn. Not a buy/sell signal — context only.
Mapped greenery
High mapped greeneryCounts OpenStreetMap-tagged green features (parks, gardens, woods, grass and pitches) within a 2.5km straight-line search radius of the community centroid. The tier is relative to other Dubai communities and does not claim walkability or shade. Satellite vegetation is the ESA WorldCover 2021 share at 10m resolution when available.
Flood exposure
Flooding reported (2024)April 2024: Standing water reported in the wider Dubailand belt.
A conservative, news-derived read of communities reported flooded in the April 2024 event — indicative only, not an engineering, drainage or insurance assessment. Elevation is shown as context, not used to score risk (Dubai is flat; drainage drives flooding). Communities without a rating were simply not reported — that is not evidence of safety. Methodology
