UAE Property Agents site content. ## How the atlas is built - Every figure is copied as published by a named source, with its link, the period it covers and the date we read it. Nothing is estimated, interpolated, averaged or rounded. - Dubai price, rent and change figures come from Property Finder's transaction pages, which publish averages of Dubai Land Department registered sales and tenancy contracts for the last 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 3 years, with a change against the period before. - Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah figures come from Bayut's asking-price index: advertised prices, not completed sales, which usually sit above transaction prices. - ValuStrat readings are valuation-based and appear only where the press reported a community by name. - Sources measure different things. Compare areas within one source and one period, never across sources. - Projects and regeneration zones come from official releases where we could read them, otherwise from The National, Khaleej Times or Gulf News. A project is listed against an area when a source places it there, or when its mapped point is within 5 km of the area's point. - Price effects of projects are published claims, attributed to the publisher. The atlas never says that a project caused a price change. Area, station and project points are from OpenStreetMap contributors, under the Open Database Licence. Base map tiles are from Esri.
