Dubai startup dataHabibi has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) powered property intelligence platform founded by Ibrahim Qorraj and Haron Merzaie. The company brings building prices, rental yields, transaction histories, forecasts, projects and area trends into a streamlined research experience.
The product’s point of view is that property research should start with market evidence, not an advert. dataHabibi carries no property listings as it uses AI to process property data, finds useful patterns and presents them in a form that buyers, investors and property professionals can articulate.
Having this approach is important as a buyer may want to know what comparable units recorded in recent deals. Whereas an investor may consider rent, yield, supply and future handovers more important. Developers may want to contrast demand across communities and projects.
With dataHabibi, AI sits on the interior of the research process. It helps organise records, compare buildings, price homes, score yields, track momentum and refresh forecasts as the market changes.
The result of the platform isn’t intended to replace a broker, valuer or investment adviser, it’s shaped to give them, and their clients, a stronger starting point. A user will be able to search a building or area, review recorded activity, contrast performance and see the result without building a spreadsheet first.
“AI should earn its place by making a hard decision easier. Dubai property moves quickly, and no buyer or agent can study every relevant record by hand. We built dataHabibi to do that heavy work, then show the evidence in plain language.”
Ibrahim Qorra, Co-Founder, DataHabibi
Current tools in the platform are building and project research, developer intelligence, transaction analysis, rental yields, off-plan pipeline data, market forecasts and a Dubai property price index. The company also adds its models refresh market signals each day, providing users with a view that can change with the market as opposed to a report.
dataHabibi will be set to extend its AI system into automated valuation ranges, broker-ready PDF reports, personalised investment briefs and alerts for changes in price, yield and deal activity.
For Co-Founder Haron this is the main promise of the company to give more people access to analysis that once required time, specialist tools or a dedicated research team.
“Property decisions often involve a family’s largest asset or an investor’s largest commitment. People deserve more than an asking price and a sales pitch. They should be able to see the market evidence, understand the trade-offs and decide with confidence.”
Haron Merzaie, Co-Founder, DataHabibi
The company’s launch fits into a broader change in the UAE – for example The National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence 2031 which advocates for AI to support economic growth and improve work in central sectors. Furthermore, Dubai has also created a tough base for property technology in digital public services, open market activity and a global pool of buyers, agents, developers and founders.
Core tools can be used without charge, and Pro access widens deeper transaction history, rental data and investment analysis. The company aims to keep the experience incumbent from listings and adverts to ensure research remains the product.
The founders believe this system could serve other cities later where property data is big, fragmented and hard to interpret – for now, the focus is on giving Dubai users a clearer view of buildings, prices, rents, yields and future supply.
