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. Property Finder figures are Property Finder's published aggregates of Dubai Land Department records, quoted as headline figures with a link to each page.
