How these figures are calculated

Sales
Registered sale transactions dated in the year, all property types, primary and resale, off-plan and ready.
Medians
Median sale price and median price per square foot of those sales.
Year-on-year
2026 is year to date, so its sales count and value are not compared with the whole of 2025; price changes compare medians.
Primary vs resale
Primary = sold by the developer; resale = sold by a previous owner. Off-plan/ready describes the unit, not the seller.
