Abu Dhabi's ready property continues to outperform off-plan
Khaleej Times
|August 22, 2025
Abu Dhabi's residential market continued its shift towards ready properties in the first half of 2025, with approximately 3,300 sales transactions, including around 2,300 ready sales and just over 1,000 off-plan sales.
The real estate brokerage and consultancy firm Cavendish Maxwell reported that off-plan activity declined in the first half of 2025, falling by 49.5 per cent from the second half of 2024 and by 69.9 per cent from the first half of 2024, as fewer new project launches resulted in limited inventory for buyers.
Although off-plan volumes during the first two quarters of 2025 were below those of previous quarters, Cavendish Maxwell said the second quarter saw a modest uptick in activity.
It said off-plan transaction numbers are expected to be revised upward, potentially increasing total first-half 2025 sales activity.
