How these figures are calculated

Median, not average
Every price is the median of registered sales — half sold for more, half for less — so a handful of trophy deals cannot pull it up.
Period
Headline figures cover the 12 months to 16 Oct 2026; changes compare them with the same 12 months a year earlier. Calendar-year figures are in the history table; the current year is year to date.
Scope
All registered sales of apartments, villas, commercial units, buildings and plots, both primary (developer) and resale, off-plan and ready. Gifts, grants and non-sale registrations are excluded.
Price per sq ft
Median of each sale’s price divided by its registered size in square feet.
Gross rental yield
Annual rent as a percentage of price, before service charges, fees and vacancy, as calculated in the source dataset and rounded to two decimal places.
