What should a marketplace tell you when a saved listing may have changed?

by•

Saving a property makes it easier to return to it. It does not guarantee that availability or the advertised details will stay the same.

On Didibood, people can save sale and rental listings while exploring homes in Iran. A practical habit is to check the complete ad again before contacting its advertiser, then confirm the detail that matters to the next step.

For marketplace builders, this raises a design question: how should a product help someone understand the freshness of a saved item?

A meaningful update date, a clear availability state and an explanation of what changed each provide different kinds of context. Which signal has been most useful in products you have built or used?
