While global markets wobbled and investors hesitated, UAE rewrote its own growth curve, not with speculation, but with conviction. In Abu Dhabi, momentum turned into a movement: ⦁ 7,154 property sales were recorded, worth AED 25.3 billion. A 110% jump in value year-on-year. ⦁ This momentum was largely driven by Fahid Island (Aldar) and Al Hidayriyyat Island (Modon), which together accounted for almost one-third of all off-plan residential value. ⦁ Off-plan sales dominated. 73 % of total volume and 68 % of value, reaching AED 17.3 billion, a 136 % jump compared to last year. That’s not a market trend. That’s a signal of investor trust in the city’s next phase of growth. Meanwhile in Dubai, the numbers shattered records: ⦁ 59,044 transactions worth AED 169 billion, up 17% year-on-year. ⦁ Off-plan activity led the way again. 40,108 transactions, accounting for 68 % of all deals. ⦁ Average prices in prime districts climbed to nearly AED 1,667 per sq ft, reaffirming Dubai’s position as the region’s most dynamic market. This wasn’t random demand. It was a deliberate bet on Dubai’s long-term narrative; infrastructure, global capital flow, and sustained investor appetite. But here’s what makes Q3 2025 truly fascinating: Investors are dividing. not the market. ⦁ Off-plan buyers are backing vision betting on what the skyline will look like 3 years from now. ⦁ Ready-property buyers are choosing certainty, prioritizing location, livability, and proven ROI. Both are right. Because both are reading the same market through different lenses of time. #dubai #realestate
