## What these numbers do not show

- Prices from the developer. Nothing here is a price list, a payment plan or availability — these are transactions already registered with DLD.
- Whether construction is moving. The completion percentage is the figure recorded at the last technical inspection, and inspections are irregular: an unchanged number does not mean work stopped.
- A handover promise. The declared completion date is a registry field, not a commitment.
- Asking prices. Everything here is a registered transaction; what a home was listed at is a different number.
- Off-market and cash-equivalent deals that never reach the registry, and the price actually negotiated before registration.
- Service charges, chiller fees, agency commission, DLD transfer fees or mortgage costs — none of them are inside these prices.
