What Abu Dhabi actually registered
In the first half of 2026, Saadiyat Island recorded AED 13.3 billion in residential sales, second only to Hudayriyat. That figure is published by the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre, the regulator that registers every transaction in the emirate.
Across Abu Dhabi, residential sales reached AED 70.4 billion in the first half of 2026, against AED 25.3 billion in the same period a year earlier. Off plan took 89 per cent of that value and 82 per cent of the deals. In the ready market, 61 per cent of purchases completed in cash.
Rents are moving faster than most buyers expect. New lease prices rose 17 per cent year on year for apartments and 9 per cent for villas. Inside the investment zones, where a foreign buyer can own freehold, those figures are 21 per cent and 16 per cent. On repeat sales, the same apartment resold 20 per cent higher and the same villa 12 per cent higher.
The emirate holds 233,000 active lease contracts worth AED 9.3 billion, up 8 per cent. Supply stands at about 409,000 homes with a further 71,000 expected by 2030, peaking in 2028 at roughly 21,800 units. That pipeline is the number to weigh against the rent growth above, because it is what eventually answers it.
Where this comes from, and what it does not yet tell you. Every figure on this page is from the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Market Report H1 2026, published by ADREC on 18 August 2026. It is district level and half yearly, so it is not the unit level record we publish for Dubai communities. We have applied for direct ADREC data access and will publish Abu Dhabi at the same depth as Dubai once it is granted. We would rather tell you the limit of what we know than dress a half year figure up as something finer.
