Why this mattersLatest month cools 41.6% versus the prior cycle. Market activity remains concentrated in a small set of leading districts. Off-plan continues to dominate transaction flow. Cash buyers account for most sales in the latest financing period.
Sep 2026 is still being recorded and is not shown.
Abu Dhabi’s framework allows qualifying contractual rights in registered off-plan units to be mortgaged toward the purchase price. ADCB advertises eligible customers financing of up to 50% of a property’s value, with final approval and financing following once 50% has been paid or at handover.
Aldar announced more than AED 5 billion in sales across Talay and Yas Riva Reserve. Expatriate residents and overseas buyers accounted for 69% of sales across the two developments.
Miral will invest more than AED 12 billion across Yas Island over the next five years, supporting new developments, attraction expansions, immersive experiences and additional hotel rooms. The programme is separate from the previously announced Disney project and could strengthen the island’s role in Abu Dhabi’s tourism and real-estate strategy.
Abu Dhabi Global Market reported 54% year-on-year growth in assets under management during the first half of 2026, alongside more than USD 100 billion in AI-focused capital deployed from institutions established in the financial centre.
Aldar and ADCB have completed Abu Dhabi’s first registered mortgage financing transaction involving an off-plan property under the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre’s new framework. The arrangement allows eligible buyers to finance remaining instalments and the final handover payment after paying 50% of the purchase price.
