Press & Research.

Sources

Five public listing platforms: PropertyFinder and Bayut (UAE real estate), DubiCars and OpenSooq (UAE used cars), and DubaiChrono (UAE pre-owned watches). PropertyFinder, DubiCars and DubaiChrono are scanned 3× daily, at roughly eight-hour intervals; Bayut and OpenSooq once a day. Each listing keeps its original source platform and outbound URL; where the source publishes a reference number, that is kept too (OpenSooq does not publish one).

Drop detection

A drop is recorded when the same seller reduces the listed price on the same listing, identified via a price-hash comparison between scans. Three drop categories are classified:

• Direct cuts — the seller actively reduces the listed price.
• Relist drops — a listing is taken down and re-published at a lower price (often signals deeper seller motivation).
• Below-median pricing — a fresh listing enters the market priced below the area median for its type (a synthetic drop signal).

Deduplication

Listings are deduplicated across sources by (area + property type + size + reference number), so a single property listed by multiple agents is counted once. Multi-agent listings have higher confidence scores attached.

Confidence scoring

Each listing carries a confidence score (0–100) reflecting source-data completeness. High-confidence listings are preferred for press briefs and aggregated statistics.

What we don't publish

Insider-tier intelligence — Deal Score thresholds, Motivation Score raw values, Negotiability ranges, Suggested Offer ranges — is gated behind a paid subscription and is deliberately excluded from the press surface. Aggregate stats and per-listing public data are always free.
