Abu Dhabi Property Sales Hit Record
Abu Dhabi residential property sales hit a record $20 billion in 2025, with off-plan sales accounting for 71% of activity [https://zawya.com/en/business/real-estate/abu-dhabi-residential-property-sales-hits-record-20bln-in-2025-nmnw6era]. Why are off-plan sales so strong?
Off-plan sales are attractive because they often come with payment plans, allowing buyers to spread costs over time during construction. These plans reduce the upfront financial burden compared to completed properties. Another factor is the potential for capital appreciation. Investors hope to buy at a lower price before completion and then sell for a profit as the property value increases. Developers also offer incentives like fee waivers or guaranteed returns to attract off-plan buyers. These deals can make off-plan purchases more appealing than buying existing properties.
