## Resources
- [Resources — guides, comparisons and a glossary](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/): Guides, honest comparisons, a glossary of Egyptian real estate terms and original market data from Sakneen — written for developers, brokerages and buyers.
- [Egyptian real estate glossary](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/): Plain definitions of the terms Egypt's primary real estate market uses: absorption, off-plan, EOI, semi-finished, maintenance deposit, Shahr Aqary and more.
- [Absorption rate — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/absorption-rate/): Absorption rate is the share of released units a developer sells in a period. How it is calculated in Egypt's primary market, and how it is misread.
- [Off-plan — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/off-plan/): Off-plan means buying a home before it is built. How off-plan purchase works in Egypt's primary market, what the buyer is committing to, and the risks.
- [EOI (expression of interest) — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/eoi/): An EOI is a refundable pre-launch payment that secures a buyer's place in the queue for a unit. How EOIs work in Egyptian launches and what they do not guarantee.
- [Semi-finished — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/semi-finished/): A semi-finished unit is delivered structurally complete but without flooring, paint, kitchen or fittings. What is included, what is not, and what finishing costs.
- [Maintenance deposit — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/maintenance-deposit/): A maintenance deposit funds long-term upkeep of a compound's shared assets. How it differs from service charges, when it is paid, and whether it is refundable.
- [Shahr Aqary registration — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/shahr-aqary-registration/): Shahr Aqary registration records legal title to Egyptian property in the state register. Why it matters, what it costs, and what an unregistered unit relies on instead.
- [Installment plan — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/installment-plan/): An installment plan sets the down payment and periodic payments for an off-plan home. Why the plan is part of the price in Egypt's primary market.
- [Down payment — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/down-payment/): A down payment is the percentage paid on contract for an off-plan home. How it interacts with plan length, price and the developer's cost of capital.
- [Price per metre — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/price-per-metre/): Price per metre is total price divided by built-up area. Why the measure is unreliable without matching area definitions, finishing and payment plans.
- [Primary market — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/primary-market/): The primary market is new homes sold by the developer that built them. How it differs from resale in Egypt, and why the two markets price differently.
- [Unit hold — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/unit-hold/): A unit hold is a temporary exclusive claim on a specific unit for a client. How holds prevent double sales and why expiry matters on launch day.
- [Delivery date — definition](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/glossary/delivery-date/): The delivery date is the contractual handover date for an off-plan home. What it governs, how delay clauses work, and why the contractual date is the one that counts.

- [How to digitize a developer's inventory](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/guides/digitizing-developer-inventory/): A practical guide to turning spreadsheets, CAD masterplans and payment-plan documents into one digital record per home, and what to fix before you start.

- [Sakneen vs a CRM for real estate developers](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/comparisons/sakneen-vs-crm/): A CRM manages leads and pipeline; Sakneen manages the unit record. Where the two overlap, where they do not, and why developers usually run both.
- [Sakneen vs property portals for brokerages](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/comparisons/sakneen-vs-property-portals/): Property portals sell leads against listings. Sakneen for Brokers gives live developer inventory and the tools to transact on it. What each is actually for.

- [Why one record per home](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/blog/why-one-record-per-home/): The argument behind Sakneen's architecture: a home passes through three parties, and each keeping its own version of the facts is the source of most of the friction.
- [WhatsApp is the sales floor](https://www.sakneen.com/resources/blog/whatsapp-is-the-sales-floor/): In Egypt the property deal happens on WhatsApp. Software that asks a salesperson to leave that conversation to check availability will be used late, or not at all.
