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 61% of recorded sales here are off-plan. A ready-only split is added on the next DLD data refresh.
