Methodology

What makes FREI different.

Not a marketplace pulling listings to inflate numbers. An independent index built on transparency.

Anti-Duplicate Methodology

One property, one listing, multiple verified agents.

In a market where the same property appears on Property Finder 5 times, on Bayut 6 times, and on Dubizzle 4 times — each with slightly different prices — any "average price" built on that data is statistical noise. FREI starts at the source: deduplicate first, then index.

Every property in our universe is verified through DLD's Trakheesi system. Every listing agent is Kyrion-validated. Every transaction price is cross-referenced. Our duplicate rate is structurally zero — not an estimate, an architectural guarantee built into how Findisy ingests listings.

"Inflate the count, inflate the average. Deduplicate first, and the real market emerges."

FREI Methodology Paper · Section 2.1
01
Trakheesi-linked inventory
100% of properties cross-referenced with DLD's Real Estate Promotion Permit system. No phantom listings.
02
Kyrion-verified agents
Every listing agent passes anti-scam verification — confirmed license, identity, brokerage affiliation.
03
Triangulated pricing
Listing price + DLD transaction price + rental-yield-implied price. Three angles, one verified data point.
04
Rental-yield-first weighting
Rental yield is the price-maker. Our weights anchor to yields rather than asking prices that move with sentiment.
05
All 7 Emirates coverage
Not Dubai-only. Sharjah, RAK, Ajman, Fujairah and UAQ all tracked with separate sub-indices.
Transparent Benchmark

FREI vs the duplicate-heavy competition.

Every UAE real estate buyer has seen the same villa five times, with five different prices. We compared our verified inventory to public sampling of major UAE property portals. The duplicate rates speak for themselves.

Findisy · FREI 0% duplicates
Anti-duplicate architecture · one listing per property guarantee
Major portal A ~35% duplicates
Same property, different agents, repeated
Major portal B ~28% duplicates
Some dedup logic but agent-level redundancy persists
Major portal C ~22% duplicates
Better than average, still significant noise in pricing data
The Rental Yield Map

Rental yield is what makes the price.

"In real estate, sellers set the asking price. Tenants set the real one — through what they're willing to pay monthly."

Every zone across Dubai mapped by gross rental yield. The darker the green, the stronger the cashflow. This is the only metric that doesn't lie — because rents reflect actual demand, not investor sentiment. Best yields = best investment fundamentals.

Off-Plan vs Ready · the real gap.

Q1 2026 Off-Plan launches are pricing at an 8% discount versus comparable Ready inventory — historically narrow. The market is signalling end-of-cycle premium compression, not an Off-Plan bargain.

Top 5 developers by Q1 unit launches, with Findisy verified mandate share. Emaar continues to dominate by volume; Sobha leads on price-per-sqft premium.
