The January 2026 transaction at AED 21,500,000 and the November 2025 transaction at AED 20,000,000 fall within the agent's stated market range of AED 20 to 21 million. The March 2026 transaction at AED 19,000,000 is close to the agent's asking price. Earlier transactions at AED 15 to 16.2 million correspond to villas of approximately 8,260 to 8,342 sq ft BUA, which are smaller than the Type D1's reported 8,439 to 8,713 sq ft and likely represent different villa types.
The DLD data does not specify villa type, so it is not confirmed whether the AED 19 to 21.5 million transactions are for Type D1 specifically. The agent's claim of cheapest in category cannot be independently verified from available listing and transaction data. The price is among the most competitive for a 5-bedroom villa in District One West based on visible market data.

Verification Notes
Unit-specific facts including 5-bedroom Type D1, park-side orientation and asking price of AED 18,500,000 are sourced from the agent's brief received on 5 October 2026. The Below Market classification is based on the agent-stated market range of AED 20 to 21 million for Type D1 park-side villas. This range is partially supported by DLD transactions at AED 20 million (November 2025) and AED 21.5 million (January 2026), and by active Type D1 listings at AED 22 million or above. The agent did not supply the unit size. Type D1 BUA is approximately 8,439 to 8,713 sq ft based on listing research, but the exact size of this unit is unconfirmed. The bathroom count varies across sources (8 on Bayut, 5 on Property Finder) for the same villa type. The 3-parking count is from Bayut Type D1 listings. The agent's claim of cheapest in category has been noted but cannot be independently confirmed from available listing and DLD data. The developer is listed as Nakheel on the Property Finder new projects page for District One West Phase 2 and as Meydan on a Fam Properties listing for Phase 1. Both entities are now under Dubai Holding.
