UAE Price-Drop Stock Snapshot
Current stock as of October 8, 2026 (feeds last refreshed 3:00–4:09am ET; pulled ~7:55am ET) — not a monthly report
Universe: Bayut buy + rent · six UAE feeds (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, RAK). AED only.
Global view: US (Zillow buy) and UAE side by side from the same pull — Global as-of Oct 8, 2026 report.
This is a dated stock snapshot, not a monthly close. It counts listings that were active price drops on the six UAE feeds as of October 8, 2026 (feeds last refreshed 3:00–4:09am ET; pulled ~7:55am ET) — the same April method (six UAE feeds, unweighted mean dropPct, land included). It is not a monthly close. Live feeds overwrite history; delisted cuts disappear, so a survivor rebuild undercounts month flow — the same reason August and September were never closed.
What these numbers are
Active drops are the current survivors on the six public UAE drop feeds. Total drop value is the sum of dropAED. Average drop is the unweighted mean of dropPct on the buy set and the rent set separately.
| Split | Active Drops | Drop Value (exact AED) | Avg Drop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy | 928 | 465,521,866 | 5.7% |
| Rent | 1,207 | 26,786,823 | 7.1% |
| Total | 2,135 | 492,308,689 (AED 492.31M) | — |

- By feed (buy): Dubai 489 · Abu Dhabi 379 · RAK 60. (rent): Dubai 850 · Abu Dhabi 331 · RAK 26.
- Active Drops: count of listings whose current asking price is lower than its previously recorded asking price
- Total Drop Value: sum of
dropAED(rent is yearly AED, as in April) - Avg Drop (Buy) / (Rent): unweighted mean of
dropPct— not value-weighted - Land / plots: included, matching April
A “price drop” is counted when a listed property’s asking price decreases from its previously recorded price. We track both the absolute AED value and the percentage reduction.
Honest dated points only
These are the only April-method stock figures we will put on the hub. No May / June / July / August / September monthlies were closed from live feeds (those files are overwritten; survivors undercount). August 25, September 15, September 22 and October 5 were dated stock snapshots — not month closes. This October 8 pull is the same kind of dated stock.
