Abu Dhabi realty surges amid supply crunch
Khaleej Times
|September 10, 2025
Abu Dhabi’s property market is entering a defining phase in 2025, with demand surging for ready homes amid constrained new supply, rising prices, and robust investor sentiment.
Official figures show that real estate transactions in the capital have already surpassed Dh61.1 billion so far this year through more than 16,800 deals, underscoring the resilience of the emirate’s housing sector.
The DARI platform, Abu Dhabi’s official digital real estate ecosystem, revealed that property sales accounted for Dh34.9 billion across 9,210 transactions, while mortgages added Dh23.1 billion through 7,399 deals. Usufruct contracts contributed Dh2.9 billion. Combining sales and mortgage activity, the overall value of real estate transactions has exceeded Dh67 billion across 21,123 deals.
This headline growth masks a profound shift in the composition of demand. Market reports from Cavendish Maxwell and ValuStrat highlight that buyers are increasingly focusing on ready villas and townhouses, fuelling secondary-market activity and pushing prices to multiyear highs. In the first half of 2025, ready villa and townhouse sales jumped 72 per cent year-on-year to their highest level since 2021, with roughly 2,300 completed-home transactions out of 3,300 total deals. The average transaction price rose to Dh2.5 million from Dh2.1 million a year earlier, reflecting both scarcity and sustained demand.
