Abu Dhabi Property Watch Q3 2026
Abu Dhabi’s property market evolved in Q3 2026, with villa sales increasing by 76% year-on-year and apartment prices continuing to rise despite softer sales volumes. Transaction values remained concentrated in prime island and waterfront communities, while the office sector recorded strong growth in sales and prices. A substantial pipeline of homes expected in Q4 places greater focus on how quickly new supply will be absorbed. Land Sterling’s Q3 2026 Property Watch examines these developments alongside changing buyer preferences and financing options, providing a detailed assessment of the capital’s residential and commercial markets.
