The Prospect Intent Score blends six live signals — search demand, FX purchasing power, news/sentiment, property-type tilt, travel demand, and wealth — then re-weights them for Dubai and for penthouses. A higher PIS means a nationality is more likely to purchase this property type in this city in the near term, so it’s where marketing budget and broker effort tend to convert best.
Note: figures are aggregated, anonymized demand estimates for planning — not individual buyer data.
