According to experts at the International Real Estate Conference, which was held in conjunction with the International Real Estate & Investment Show (IREIS) 2025 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), the demand for housing in Abu Dhabi is greatly exceeding the supply, and the city’s real estate market is growing at an exponential rate.
“Economic diversification is generating new jobs and opportunities in Abu Dhabi, fueling demand for quality residential units at a rate that far exceeds current supply. Developers must respond by accelerating the delivery of new homes,” said Amer Al Ahbabi, Chairman of Capstone Real Estate.
Prices rise, investment opportunities surge
Al Ahbabi went on to say that increasing demand is raising prices and giving investors extremely lucrative possibilities. “Properties are selling out at launch events, as more international buyers choose Abu Dhabi for its investment appeal and its reputation as one of the safest places in the world,” he noted.
Supportive investment framework
Al Ahbabi emphasized the encouraging investment environment, citing programs like tokenization and the Golden Visa program that enable investors to get real estate, establish residency, and earn alluring returns. “The UAE has established one of the most robust real estate regulatory systems globally, ensuring investor protection and fostering a world-class investment ecosystem,” he said.
