Question 1

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Our data comes from official government sources: DLD (Dubai Land Department) for all property sale transactions, Ejari (RERA) for official rental contracts, and DLD Service Charge Ledger for building service charges. Our database contains over 3.3 million verified transactions.

Question 2

How often is the data updated?

Accepted Answer

Transaction data is refreshed from DLD snapshots regularly. Statistics cache is refreshed every 7 days automatically. Analysis calculations are computed in real-time on each request.

Question 3

How accurate is the pricing data?

Accepted Answer

Our pricing data is highly accurate because it is based on actual completed transactions, not listing prices. All amounts are government-verified transaction amounts registered with DLD.

Question 4

How is the Market Value calculated?

Accepted Answer

Market value is calculated using the average price per sq.ft from similar units (same room type), based on the last 90 days of transactions in the same building. If the building has fewer than 3 transactions, it falls back to area-wide averages.

Question 5

What is the Distressed Score and how is it calculated?

Accepted Answer

The Distressed Score (Grade A-F) rates the investment opportunity based on 4 weighted factors: Price discount vs market (30%), Net ROI/rental yield (25%), Building liquidity (25%), and Price trend direction (20%).

Question 6

How do you determine the Fair Distressed Range?

Accepted Answer

The fair distressed price range is typically 8-15% below market average, based on analysis of successful quick-sale transactions. This balances seller urgency with buyer opportunity.

Question 7

What are Service Charges?

Accepted Answer

Service charges are annual fees for building maintenance including common area maintenance, security, cleaning, building insurance, management, and amenities like pools, gyms, and landscaping.

Question 8

How reliable is the rental yield estimate?

Accepted Answer

Rental yield estimates are highly reliable because they are based on actual Ejari rental contracts (not listings), using median rent for similar units in the same building.

Question 9

Is this financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. This analysis is for informational purposes only. It is based on historical data, not predictions. Always conduct your own due diligence and consult qualified professionals before making investment decisions.
