What is dataHabibi?
dataHabibi is a market intelligence platform for Dubai real estate, covering building-level price signals, rental yields, Dubai Land Department transaction records, and off-plan project data across the city. Visitors can browse or search over 5,500 buildings, compare areas, review recent registered sales, and run a rent vs buy calculator in AED. It sells data and analytics only, with no property listings and no broker commissions involved.
Why dataHabibi works
Asking prices and broker opinions can make a Dubai building look better than the registered market supports, so a buyer or investor needs sold prices and rent evidence before making an offer. dataHabibi builds from Dubai Land Department public records and shows registered transaction prices, rental yields, and supply data building by building, and it sells data rather than listings, so nothing on the page is pushing a property.
dataHabibi features
- Building-level price history. Shows registered sale prices for each building, with Pro adding the complete price history by bedroom, so buyers can see what comparable units sold for, not what they are listed at.
- Rental yield scoring. Scores each building's gross rental yield using registered transaction and rental evidence, giving investors a comparable yield signal across the Dubai market.
- DLD transaction log. Draws on 12M+ Dubai Land Department transactions, with sale and rent transaction search pages, so users can check how much a building or area has actually traded.
- Off-plan pipeline tracker. Covers new project launches with pricing, handover dates, and payment plans so buyers can compare pre-completion options and weigh supply before assuming prices will rise.
- Rent vs buy calculator. Takes years of intended stay, bedrooms, monthly rent, home price, residency status, and mortgage rate, then outputs the break-even year and net cost comparison in AED, with price-to-rent ratios by area.
Who dataHabibi is for
- Dubai property investors comparing buildings and areas by yield, transaction volume, and price momentum before allocating capital.

- Off-plan buyers researching new project launches who want supply data, handover timelines, and payment plans in one place before committing to a pre-completion unit.
