## Methodology

UAEDrops monitors 4,875+ active listings every two hours across PropertyFinder, Bayut, DubiCars, and DubaiChrono. A "price drop" is recorded when the same seller reduces the listed price on the same listing — detected via price-hash comparison between scans. Per-listing identifiers are preserved for deduplication; relist events at lower prices are tracked separately and not counted in the figures above.
