Abu Dhabi Weekly Market Brief

Week of 6–12 July 2026

Volume ran at roughly 69% of the trailing 8-week average, and 26% below the same week a year ago.

The Chart

Weekly transactions split by sale type (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 has come off the boil — 33 sales this week against 80 last — and is still, comfortably, the emirate's busiest project: 530 sales worth AED 1.13B over twelve weeks, every one of them primary, ahead of Al Reem's Tara A on 438.

Project Watch

The newcomer outsells its own launch

A week ago Luluat Marina was a new name on Al Raha Beach with twelve sales to its name. This week it doubled them: 24 sales at a median of 23,320 AED/sqm, its best week yet and the second-busiest of any project in the emirate. ICT Real Estate Development is selling it on a plan that defers 60% of the price to handover, with keys due in early 2029. The effect on the district was arithmetic: Luluat Marina was 80% of every home sold on Al Raha Beach this week, carrying it to 30 sales, its fourth-best week of the last sixteen.

New Launch

A new book on Al Reem

Al Reem Island is running at less than half its recent weekly pace — 82 sales — but not everything there is slowing. Reportage's Marlin 2 recorded its first 9 sales, at a median of 15,461 AED/sqm — 16% below Reem's own median — on a 30/70 plan with handover in late 2028. Burtville's Bab Al Qasr Royal Residence 28, facing Sorbonne Abu Dhabi, had its best week yet with 12 sales at 19,145. Neither is large: one opened below the district median, the other printed just above it. But in a district a month into its cooldown, both are movement.

Two-Speed Market

On Hudayriyat, the sellers are owners

Hudayriyat Island has recorded 3,176 sales since the autumn of 2024, and 98% of them came straight from the developer — overwhelmingly Modon, the name behind Al Naseem, Bashayer and most of Nawayef. This week, none did. All 7 sales were owners reselling homes that have not been built yet; across the island's 65 weeks of sales, only one other passed without a developer selling anything, and it carried a single transaction. Seven sales prove very little on their own — but the drift behind them is real: of the 52 resales in the island's history, 49 came this year. One plausible reading — the data can't prove motives — is that with Al Naseem's keys due in December, some owners would rather sell on than take delivery.

District Snapshot — Week of 6 July

Al Raha Beach's weekly median (23,320 AED/sqm) is effectively Luluat Marina's — the project was 24 of the district's 30 sales. Hudayriyat's 7 sales are too few to read as a district price.
