## Methodology

UAEDrops monitors 4,884+ active listings, re-scanned 3× daily across PropertyFinder, Bayut, DubiCars, Dubai Chrono and OpenSooq. 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.
