Instant alerts the moment a new rental appears across multiple monitored housing sources. Beat the 50-reply wave and actually land a viewing.
Set your filters once. We watch every site, every minute. You move first.
City, max rent, room or studio, minimum size, which sites to monitor. Takes about 90 seconds.
Our headless browsers check multiple housing sources every minute. Nothing slips by, even listings that render behind JavaScript.
A new match? Paid email signals go straight to your inbox with the direct link and details. The free WhatsApp community is for Delft housing pulse posts, charts, tips, and public market insights.
Most "alert" services scrape an RSS feed once an hour. We render the actual sites the same way you do, and we check every minute.
The bot navigates into each listing page individually - not just the search results. It reads price, size, availability date, furnished status, deposit, description, and more, the same way you would.
Each source runs in its own loop. The moment a new URL appears it hasn't seen before, it opens the page, extracts all the data, and fires the alert - you get pinged once, never twice.
Max rent, minimum m², furnished or not, earliest move-in - all checked against structured fields extracted from the actual listing, not a vague keyword match against a title.
The email lands before most platforms even register the listing as indexed. By the time a competitor's alert service wakes up, you've already read the full details and sent your reaction.

Typically within 60 seconds of a listing going live. Each scraper runs on a one-minute loop, and the moment a new url appears that matches your filters, the alert is dispatched.
Built-in housing alerts can be delayed by 10 to 60 minutes. By then the best listings already have 50 reactions. Delft Dibs is designed to spot new public listings quickly across multiple sources.
Groups are great for community updates, but noisy for personal search. Delft Dibs uses WhatsApp for public insights and sends targeted email signals only when listings match your filters, with structured data so a "max €900, min 20m²" rule actually means something.
Right now we're focused 100% on Delft. Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Amsterdam are next. Message us if you want a city prioritized.
Anytime. One click in your dashboard, no calls, no "are you sure" mazes. If you find a place after a week, cancel and you're done.
No, and anyone who promises that is lying. The Dutch rental market is rough. What we can promise is that you'll see new listings before almost anyone else, which dramatically improves your odds.
Delft Dibs is a student-run side project. Three TU Delft students building this around our studies because the Delft housing hunt is genuinely painful. We do our best, but bugs and missed listings are part of the reality of a small team. Found something broken or have a feature idea? We read everything: info@delftdibs.nl
The subscription fee covers server and infrastructure costs to keep the service running. Nobody is taking a salary home.
