Off-plan properties in Abu Dhabi lead a surge in transactions, with prices and rents rising sharply as investor confidence strengthens, according to Cavendish Maxwell
Abu Dhabi’s residential real estate market reached a historic milestone in 2025, recording AED 73.2 billion in property sales, according to property consultancy Cavendish Maxwell. The market witnessed a 55% surge in transactions compared to 2024, reflecting growing investor confidence and strong demand for housing across the emirate.
A major driver of this growth was the off-plan property segment, which dominated new transactions as developers launched attractive projects with flexible payment plans and modern amenities. Buyers and investors increasingly favored off-plan units due to competitive pricing and long-term investment potential.
The surge in demand has also pushed property prices and rental rates higher, indicating a healthy and expanding residential sector. With population growth, government initiatives, and continued infrastructure development, Abu Dhabi is becoming a more attractive destination for both residents and global investors.
Industry experts believe the market momentum is likely to continue as new residential communities, lifestyle developments, and investment-friendly policies strengthen the emirate’s position as a key real estate hub in the region.
