How these figures are calculated

Developer (primary) sales
Sales where the developer is the seller, registered with the Dubai Land Department. Resales of its units by owners are excluded.
Market share
The developer's sales divided by all developers' sales over 1 Jan – 17 Oct 2026; ranks recomputed on number of sales (ties share a rank).
Year-on-year
This year to date against the same calendar span last year, so a part year is never compared with a full one.
Delivery reliability
On-time projects ÷ (on-time + late + overdue) × 100, over every project whose planned completion date has passed. Overdue = still active past the planned completion date.
Absorption
Share of the developer’s off-plan units sold to date.
