Property alerts
What an alert watches
An alert stores the filters from whichever search you created it on — market, price, bedrooms, property type, parish, keyword — and checks them against the daily refresh. Three things can trigger one:
- Newly listed. A property matching your search appears for the first time. Measured from this site's own daily observations (
listing-first-seen), not from an agent's "New" label. - Asking price cut. The advertised price drops. Again our own observation, with the amount and the date — not the agent's "Reduced" wording, which carries neither.
- Back on the market. A property that had gone reappears.
Signups are stored from today. What is not connected is an email provider, so nothing is being delivered yet — sign up now and you're on the list from day one, and the first alert goes out once sending is wired. Nothing else is ever sent to you.
A second, separate gap worth knowing about: unlike guernsey's sister site, Jersey doesn't yet have a nightly listings-refresh cron (see /about) — only a nightly stock-snapshot cron that watches the same, largely unchanging listings.json for first-seen dates and price moves. Until the refresh gap closes, the "newly listed" and "price cut" triggers above will have very little to observe, so early alerts may go quiet for stretches. That's a limit of the underlying data, not of the alert itself, and it improves the moment the refresh cron is built.

Your data
An email address and the search filters. No name, no account, no password, no tracking pixel. It is never shared or sold, and it is used for the alert you asked for and nothing else. To remove it, email corrections@properties.je and it's deleted — see privacy and terms.
