Methodology and limits
Supply and prices cover every listing JokerPrice has stored for Riyadh, at the asking price last seen, before cleaning and service fees and VAT. Occupancy comes from daily checks of tracked listings' public calendars: a night that closes between checks counts as booked, long or far-ahead closures count as owner blocks, and nights already closed at the first check are excluded. Tracked listings are a sample, not the whole market. Read more in Reading occupancy estimates and the glossary.
