What it means

For a buyer. Resales ran below an average week in Al Reem Island, Yas Island, Al Raha and Abu Dhabi city. The medians that moved most were 2 beds apartment in Saadiyat Island +53% and studio apartment in Yas Island −23%, so before you offer, compare the unit with the registered range for its layout, not with the asking prices.

For an agent. Resales ran below an average week in Al Reem Island, Yas Island, Al Raha and Abu Dhabi city. Price a listing from the registered range for its layout and state the date of the data, because a week's median moves with the mix of units sold.
