What is Bayut?
Bayut is a property search portal for the UAE, launched in 2008 and owned by Dubizzle Group, that pairs agency listings with market data drawn from Dubai Land Department records. For data users the core tools are Dubai Transactions, which lists registered sales and rentals with averages, price per square foot and year-on-year change, filtered by community, building, property type, beds and completion status, and TruEstimate, an AI valuation tool for Dubai residential units. A TruEstimate sale report gives an estimated value and range with a confidence level, price history over six months to five years, cost to buy, rental yield, similar transactions and comparable listings, and can be shared as a PDF or link; alerts email monthly value changes, and the app-only Portfolio tracks capital gain across owned units. TruBroker agents can generate branded versions for clients for free. Bayut also runs area and building guides, 45,000+ floor plans, BayutGPT search and TruCheck verified listings, and operates Bayut.sa in Saudi Arabia.
Bayut is the UAE property portal run by Bayut Web Publishing FZ LLC, part of Dubizzle Group, carrying sale and rental listings from more than 3,500 agencies, and its free data tools are what place it in this category. Dubai Transactions shows DLD-registered sales and rentals by community, building, property type and beds, with averages, price per square foot, year-on-year change, a map view and daily, weekly or monthly email alerts. TruEstimate produces instant sale and rental valuation reports for Dubai residential units from a title deed, Oqood, Ejari contract, unit or DEWA number, with a confidence level, price history, rental yield and comparables, and sets no limit on reports. Bayut also offers 1,400+ area guides, building guides with service charges and BayutGPT search. Buyers and tenants pay nothing; agencies pay for listings through credit packages.
Standout feature: TruEstimate: unlimited free valuation reports for Dubai residential units, looked up by title deed, Oqood, Ejari, unit or DEWA number, each with a confidence level, price history, rental yield and comparables, plus monthly email alerts when the estimate changes.
Biggest weakness: Bayut's data tools stop at Dubai residential property: TruEstimate excludes commercial units and anything outside Dubai, may not value new buildings without recorded sales or rentals, and asks logged-out users for name, email and phone before showing a report, while the portal itself draws reviewer complaints about duplicate and misleading listings.
