Arabian Business, citing a report by Springfield Properties, says 2,809 homes changed hands in Abu Dhabi in October for a total of AED 12.97 billion. That is 30 percent more than in September and 35 percent more than in October 2025. Including land and commercial property, the month's transactions came to AED 14.31 billion. The figures come from the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC).

Hudayriyat Island was the most popular off-plan destination with 603 sales worth AED 4.46 billion. Hudayriyat Golf Estates alone generated AED 3.64 billion from 542 deals, making it the best selling residential project of the month. Al Reem Island followed with 260 off-plan sales and Yas Island with 259, while Yas Canal in Al Rahah recorded AED 1.17 billion and Ramhan Island AED 897 million. Among developers, Modon led with AED 4.53 billion, ahead of Aldar with AED 1.50 billion and Ohana Development with AED 1.15 billion; together they accounted for more than 70 percent of developer off-plan sales value.

Of 1,980 developer off-plan sales, 1,142 were villas or townhouses, which made up nearly 80 percent of the value. The average off-plan deal rose 44.5 percent year on year to AED 5.04 million, and homes above AED 5 million rose from 19 percent to 29 percent of deals. Forty four homes sold for more than AED 25 million, worth AED 1.75 billion in total; the top sale was a AED 100 million villa at Bada Al Jubail Phase 2 on Al Jubail Island. Resales also climbed to AED 2.69 billion across 722 deals, from AED 1.63 billion in September and AED 1.55 billion a year earlier.

Farooq Syed, CEO of Springfield Properties, said Abu Dhabi's residential market is evolving alongside the emirate's growing international appeal, and that buyers are looking beyond individual properties to the quality of the communities and lifestyles on offer.
