Market Cycle — Volume & Value by Year
Each year is measured year-to-date (Jan 1 → the latest available date), so the current partial year compares like-for-like with prior years.
Off-Plan Share
Off-plan share measures what proportion of all sales were off-plan contracts in a given year, measured year-to-date so every year is comparable. A rising share indicates developer-led market momentum; a falling share points toward stronger secondary/ready market activity.
