Seven markets, one transparent method

Each local reading publishes its exact footprint, observation date, sample gate and forward calendar shape. An unavailable night can be reserved, owner blocked or withheld for another reason, so it is never presented as realised occupancy.

How these reports are built

UpgradedPM publishes these reports using observed market data from Upgraded Intelligence. Official rent and sale price series retain their publisher definitions and release dates. Direct observations are labelled separately, so one evidence class is never presented as another.

  • Source definitions retained. Every figure keeps the definition, geography and period of its original evidence.
  • Observed means observed. Short let prices and calendar states come from dated market observations and carry their sample boundary.
  • Commercial advice comes afterwards. UpgradedPM interprets the published evidence for an owner without rewriting the research result.
