ABU DHABI: The Abu Dhabi property market recovery is showing encouraging momentum, according to new data released by Bayut and dubizzle. The analysis, covering property activity between January and June 2026, highlights improving buyer interest, stronger rental demand and resilient engagement from real estate professionals across the emirate.
By Week 14, property views had recovered to 95 per cent of the 2026 baseline, while impressions reached 83 per cent, active users 80 per cent and unique buyers 87 per cent. Daily agent responses also exceeded previous levels, reaching 102 per cent of the baseline, reflecting continued confidence among property professionals.
The report analysed more than 7,000 property enquiry calls, showing balanced demand across sales and rentals. Sales enquiries accounted for 54 per cent of calls, while rental enquiries represented 46 per cent, indicating sustained activity across both market segments.
Several residential communities recorded strong demand. Apartment rentals in Masdar City, Al Reef, Al Raha Beach, Yas Island, Al Khalidiyah and Al Reem Island returned to near pre-disruption activity levels. Villa rentals also remained popular in Al Shamkha, Mohamed Bin Zayed City, Khalifa City, Al Reef and Yas Island, reflecting continued interest in larger family homes.
The ready-sales and off-plan markets also maintained healthy activity. Buyers continued to explore developments in Saadiyat Island, Al Maryah Island, Ramhan Island and Zayed City, with premium waterfront and master-planned communities attracting consistent attention from investors and homeowners.
Haider Khan, CEO of Bayut and dubizzle and CEO of Dubizzle Group MENA, said regulatory improvements and greater market transparency continue to strengthen long-term confidence for buyers, tenants and landlords.
The latest figures suggest the Abu Dhabi property market recovery remains firmly on track, supported by resilient demand, quality developments and improving market conditions. As residential choices continue to expand, the Abu Dhabi property market recovery is expected to strengthen further across both established and emerging communities.
