Buying property in Dubai usually starts with an asking price and ends with a guess about whether it is fair. The asking price comes from a listing. The real prices sit in public registry records that most buyers never see.
dataHabibi is a Dubai real estate data platform built around those records. This is a sponsored post on Maidensail, written from what the company publishes on its own site.
What dataHabibi does
dataHabibi takes Dubai's public real estate records and turns them into price signals, transaction history and area level analysis. According to its About page, the data is derived from the Dubai Land Department and other public registry sources, then cleaned and structured into the views you see.
It is organised into a few parts:
- Buildings: building records, price signals and recent transactions for each building.
- New Projects: off plan launches with pricing, handover dates and payment plans.
- Intelligence: area level market analytics.
- Rent vs Buy calculator: a way to run the trade off in AED.
Data, not listings
The company says it is not a broker or an agency. It sells access to data rather than deals, and says no party pays it to surface or rank a property. That is a useful position for a research tool. If a platform earns nothing when you pick one unit over another, the numbers have fewer reasons to lean.
Honest about limits
The About page is direct about what the data is. dataHabibi says it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Dubai Land Department. It says its figures can lag official records and may carry errors from their sources, and that nothing on the site is an official record. It asks you to treat the output as analytical guidance, not legal fact.
For a founder or investor, that is the right way to read any data product. Use it to ask better questions, then check the details that matter before you commit money.
Who it is for
Anyone doing homework before a Dubai purchase or rental: first time buyers, investors comparing buildings, or people weighing renting against buying. The site describes a free tier that covers the essentials and a paid Pro plan that removes the caps. Check the dataHabibi pricing page for current plans.
The takeaway
Most property tools start from listings. dataHabibi starts from the registry and says plainly where its numbers come from and where they can fall short. If you are researching Dubai property, it is worth a look at datahabibi.ae.
