Abu Dhabi’s real estate sector is expanding fast. By 2028, 38,700 new residential units will be ready. This growth will help balance supply and demand. As a result, prices may become more stable. The real estate market is responding to the rising demand for housing.
This year alone, 10,800 units will be completed. In 2026, another 6,000 will be added. By 2028, the total number of homes in Abu Dhabi will reach 313,700. More housing will help control price increases. The government is encouraging investment with smart policies. Residency incentives are attracting more buyers.
Sustainable development plays a key role in the future. More people want eco-friendly homes. Developers are focusing on smart housing solutions. These homes will support a growing population. The market is adjusting to keep up with demand.
Last year, Abu Dhabi’s real estate market saw strong growth. There were 9,700 property sales. These sales were worth Dh26 billion. About 5,200 homes were completed. Many of these were in Al Raha Beach, Yas Island, Masdar City, and Saadiyat Island.
Prices increased significantly. Apartment prices jumped 11.5%. Villas became 12.5% more expensive. Yas Island had the highest price rise. Apartment prices there increased by over 20%. Villa prices went up by 13%.
More homes are still needed. Housing supply in 2024 was lower than expected. Only 3,004 new homes were delivered. That was 46% lower than forecasts. High demand kept prices rising. Next year, more homes will enter the market. This could help stabilize prices.
Almost 40 new projects started last year. These projects will add 11,000 more units. Al Reem Island had the most new homes, about 2,000. Saadiyat Island followed with 1,800, while Al Bahyah had 1,700.
Aldar Properties remains a leader in Abu Dhabi. It launched 4,000 units in 12 different projects. The company’s role in shaping the market is significant. Future property values will depend on new developments. If fewer projects are launched, prices may rise further.
The housing market in Abu Dhabi continues to grow. More homes mean better stability in prices. Investors and residents will benefit from these changes.
