    Manila retail units: are service charges driving the price spread?

    Seasonality is possible, but it should be the last explanation rather than the first. Split the sample by listing month and note when each reduction happened. If cuts cluster after a similar number of days, that suggests a seller strategy. If they cluster by calendar period across units of...

    December 2025 Manila inventory: 91 days and a 7.6% price gap

    Ibrahim’s cohort point is the important one. Comparing live inventory with completed deals introduces a timing mismatch: the completed properties may reflect negotiations begun well before December.

    Which tenant-placement integrations actually remove duplicate entry?

    Avoid deduplicating people solely by email or phone. Shared contact details and changed numbers can merge unrelated records. Use an internal contact ID and present possible matches for confirmation.
