Abu Dhabi Weekly Market Brief

Week of 29 June – 5 July 2026

Volume ran at roughly 62% of the trailing 8-week average, and 47% below the same week a year ago.

The Chart

Weekly transactions (bars, left) and median rate in AED/sqm (line, right), last 16 weeks. The near-empty week of 25 May was the Eid al-Adha holiday.

Following Up

Yas Park Place, which led our 22 June brief, has not slowed: 80 sales this week, roughly two and a half times its four-week pace, taking it to 497 sales worth AED 1.06B in twelve weeks — every one of them primary. Rixos Residences Al Reem added another 8.

Project Watch

The coast steals the week

The emirate's second-busiest project this week sits halfway to Dubai. Al Jurf Gardens – Phase 3A, a villa phase of IMKAN's AlJurf development on the coast, had its biggest week on record — 33 sales worth AED 222M, past a previous best of 29. It has company: next door in Ghantout, ORA's Bayn masterplan keeps adding villas. Together the corridor between the two cities sold AED 394M this week — roughly half the value of Abu Dhabi's main districts combined. The gap on the map is filling in.

Price Signal

Reem catches its breath

Al Reem Island has been the emirate's volume engine all year — 957 sales in June alone. The first week of July, the launch machine idled: 61 sales, about a third of its recent weekly pace, with ready homes making up 43% of them — more than double their usual share — against the off-plan launches that normally define the district. That mix pulled Reem's median down to 16,986 AED/sqm, its lowest in sixteen weeks, though ready prices themselves held firm. One plausible reading: the emirate-wide median looks strong this week less because prices climbed than because the map shifted — pricey Yas and the coast turned out in force while more affordable, high-volume Reem stayed home.

New Launch

A new name on Al Raha Beach

Al Raha Beach has had a busy quarter — Juman 3 and Juman 2 lead the district. This week a new name opened a book. Luluat Marina, from ICT Real Estate Development, recorded its first 12 sales at a median of 23,091 AED/sqm, all off-plan apartments. Property Finder lists one-bedroom units from AED 850,000, on a 5% / 35% / 60% payment plan with handover due in January 2029. The launch helped lift Al Raha Beach to 20 sales — more than double its recent weekly pace, all off-plan primary — at a district median of 24,648, its third-highest of the last 16 weeks.

District Snapshot — Week of 29 June

Saadiyat's weekly median (16,201 AED/sqm, a 16-week low) reflects a single-building bulk transfer — 21 same-day resales in C3 Garden at a flat 13,123 AED/sqm — not a shift in Saadiyat prices. The island's off-plan homes still traded near 28,571 this week.
