## Methodology

- **What the data is**: Asking prices and asking rents from live property listings, not completed transactions. Official Dubai Land Department open data (registries) is offered separately and is not mixed into listing statistics.
- **Sources**: Listings are collected from major UAE property portals and developer sites, then normalised, de-duplicated across sources and quality-scored before they reach the API.
- **Rents**: Rents quoted daily, weekly or monthly are normalised to a yearly figure; rents with an unknown or implausible frequency are excluded from rent statistics.
- **Gross yields**: Median yearly asking rent divided by median asking sale price for the same area, property type and bedroom count. A segment needs at least 5 sale and 5 rent listings; yields outside 1-12% are hidden as likely data errors. Confidence: high with 20+ listings on each side, medium with 10+, otherwise low.
- **Price cuts**: A listing counts as reduced when its current asking price is 1-30% below the first asking price our pipeline observed; larger moves are excluded as likely data errors. Days on market are counted from our first observation, not the portal's listing date.
- **Freshness**: Sources are re-crawled continuously; every response carries generated_at, and statistics are rebuilt from the latest data by scheduled jobs.
