Abu Dhabi\u2019s residential market logged its strongest quarter in a year in 3Q 2025<\/strong>, with over 6.5k transactions completed within Abu Dhabi Municipality, up from 4k in 2Q and 3.7k in 1Q, according to Savills\u2019 latest Abu Dhabi Residential Market report (pdf)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Off-plan sales accounted for 77% of transaction volumes<\/strong>, well above the 12-month average of 64%, driven by new launches on Saadiyat Island, Fahid Island<\/a>, Hudayriat\u2019s Wadeem plots<\/a>, and additional phases of Bloom Living<\/a>. Apartments made up 78% of all transactions.<\/p>\n

Prices rise on steady demand + tight supply: <\/strong>Average sales rates increased 16% y-o-y to AED 17.4k per sqm in 3Q \u2014 higher than 2Q\u2019s 6.4% uptick<\/a> \u2014 supported by resilient end-user demand and limited ready supply. High-end projects continued to draw overseas buyers, including Four Seasons Residences<\/a> on Saadiyat Island and the Waldorf Astoria Residences<\/a> on Yas Island.<\/p>\n

Even with more launches, supply remains constrained: <\/strong>Developers launched 21 projects totaling 5.7k units during the quarter \u2014 nearly half of all new units introduced this year. YTD launches now stand at 11.2k units, though Savills notes supply remains tight relative to population growth and demand, a trend it expects to keep prices firm into 2026.<\/p>\n

Abu Dhabi recorded AED 94 bn in real estate transactions in 9M 2025<\/strong>, up 43.3% y-o-y, on the back of 29.4k transactions (+48% y-o-y), according to Abu Dhabi Real Estate Center data picked up by Abu Dhabi Media Office<\/a>. Sales and purchases brought in AED 61.8 bn across 16.9k transactions, while mortgages totaled AED 32.2 bn from 12.7k transactions.<\/p>\n

FDI climbs: <\/strong>Foreign investors poured AED 6.2 bn into the market in 9M 2025, up 35% y-o-y, compared with AED 3.4 bn<\/a> from 890 transactions involving 85 nationalities in 1H 2025. Some 97 nationalities invested over the period, led by Russia, China, the UK, France, Kazakhstan, and the US. Foreign inflows into investment zones accounted for 74% of total real estate investments, rising 66% y-o-y to AED 35 bn.<\/p>\n

More projects + market participants: <\/strong>YTD, the emirate registered 40 new development projects, while real-estate professional licenses rose 47% to 2.4k.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>Abu Dhabi earlier logged AED 52 bn<\/a> in transactions in 1H 2025, up 40% y-o-y, driven by strong demand for new launches and multiple sellouts. The emirate is expected to deliver around 11.9k new homes before year-end, and roughly 33k units by 2030<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sector contribution rises: <\/strong>Real estate contributed AED 21.9 bn to Abu Dhabi\u2019s non-oil GDP in 1H 2025, up from AED 20.2 bn a year earlier. Construction activity reached AED 57.5 bn, up 10% y-o-y \u2014 bringing the two sectors\u2019 combined contribution to AED 79.5 bn, or 24% of non-oil GDP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
