Abu Dhabi Property Prices 2026: Residential Values Jump 21.6%
While Dubai’s property market often grabs the headlines, fresh data shows Abu Dhabi property prices 2026 are climbing even faster, with residential values up 21.6 per cent this year according to CBRE figures.
The capital’s real estate sector has seen a wave of activity, with total property sales reaching Dh26 billion, more than double last year’s figure for the same period. Developer Modon Holding alone reported a first-half net profit of Dh2.2 billion on record revenue of Dh9.2 billion, up 40 per cent year-on-year.
Analysts say Abu Dhabi and Dubai are now moving through very different phases of their property cycles. While Dubai has seen a large wave of new home completions easing pressure on residential rents, Abu Dhabi’s more limited supply appears to be pushing values higher at a faster pace.
Industry experts note that financing conditions are shifting too, with global interest rate expectations moving in a less predictable direction.
Even so, market watchers say investors continue to see UAE property as a comparatively stable option, with some describing the broader market as entering a phase of steadying, more sustainable growth.
For buyers and investors watching the capital’s market, the message is clear: demand in Abu Dhabi shows little sign of slowing down.
