## What this measures

This compares the all-history off-plan sale median with the trailing twelve-month ready-resale median at the same building and bedroom grain. The cohorts are unpaired: they do not track the same units or investors. The median-date interval is not a holding period; the price difference excludes costs and is not a realised return.

## Launch vs resale, by development

+30.2% from launch to resale across Rukan, pooled. Each development's launch sales against its ready resales in the last 12 months, per sq ft and pooled across its towers; a median needs 3 sales. Developments sharing a name are grouped under it (DLD records no such parent). The page switches bedroom type with ?bed= (studio, 1br, 2br, 3br, 4br_plus).
