7–12 September 2026: Dubai and Abu Dhabi Property Transactions Report

Dubai registered 2,961 home sales worth AED 5.47bn during 7–12 September 2026, with off-plan homes supplying 77.5% of registrations. Abu Dhabi recorded 250 home sales worth AED 1.22bn; the two Hudayriyat Golf Estates project groups accounted for 69.1% of its registered value.

The week brought a larger off-plan share in both emirates. Dubai’s growth figures also reflect revised registration dates, making the comparison note below essential context.

The week at a glance

• Dubai’s increase was concentrated in off-plan homes: 2,295 registrations, up 44.3%, compared with a 3.4% rise in ready-home sales.
• Hudayriyat Golf Estates dominated Abu Dhabi’s value: 99 home registrations across its Townhomes and Villas project groups, worth AED 845.9m.
• Abu Dhabi’s ready market slowed: 48 sales, down from 118, while off-plan registrations increased to 202.

7–12 September versus 31 August–5 September. Both periods use the 14 September refresh and contain five normal working days. Homes exclude separately registered plots and whole residential assets.

Dubai comparison note: The previous week’s refreshed total is 2,234 homes worth AED 4.84bn, compared with 2,585 and AED 5.30bn in the earlier publication. Of those originally reported homes, 394 now carry dates in 7–12 September; 43 other registrations have entered the comparison week. The changes above use the refreshed dates for both periods and should be read with this reallocation in mind.

Dubai: off-plan homes supplied 97% of the increase

Off-plan registrations rose from 1,590 to 2,295, supplying 705 of Dubai’s 727 additional home registrations. Ready-home sales increased from 644 to 666. Off-plan’s share rose from 71.2% to 77.5%.

Azizi Venice remained the busiest named development with 190 sales, followed by Valia with 133 and Binghatti Skyterraces with 124. Dubai South led locations with 305 registrations; Majan recorded 236 and Jumeirah Village Circle 213.

Homes below AED 2m accounted for 2,123 sales, or 71.7% of the total. At the upper end, 39 homes sold for AED 10m or more, together worth AED 718.4m. The largest registration was an AED 50m ready villa at Signature Villas on Palm Jumeirah, dated 9 September.

Abu Dhabi: Hudayriyat Golf Estates supplied 69% of value

The Townhomes group recorded 73 home sales worth AED 378.8m, while the Villas group recorded 26 worth AED 467.2m. Together, they supplied 39.6% of Abu Dhabi’s home registrations and 69.1% of registered value. The wider Hudayriyat area accounted for 111 sales worth AED 922.7m.

Off-plan registrations increased 14.1% to 202, comprising 187 initial sales and 15 resales. Ready-home sales fell 59.3% to 48. Off-plan homes consequently supplied 80.8% of registrations, compared with 60.0% in the previous week.

Al Reem Island followed Hudayriyat by volume with 79 home sales. The largest home registration was a six-bedroom Hudayriyat Golf Estates villa at AED 36.1m on 8 September. Separately, seven residential plots registered AED 189.2m; these are outside the home-sales totals.

Projectory’s take: The sale-status split explains more than either emirate’s headline total. Dubai’s increase sits mainly in off-plan registrations, with revised dates affecting the weekly allocation. Abu Dhabi’s value held relatively close to the previous week despite fewer sales because activity was concentrated in Hudayriyat Golf Estates. Neither pattern, on its own, establishes a change in underlying property prices.

How these figures are built

Projectory analysed canonical DLD and ADREC home-sale registrations for Monday 7 through Saturday 12 September, compared with 31 August–5 September. Each transaction is counted once. Data was refreshed on 14 September 2026; the Dubai register extends through 14 September and Abu Dhabi through 13 September, covering the reporting window.

Homes include apartments, duplexes, penthouses, townhouses and villas under the audited source classifications. ADREC classifies the Hudayriyat Golf Estates Townhomes rows as villas; their project name is retained here. Plots and whole residential buildings or complexes remain separate. Commercial and mixed-use property, mortgages, gifts and other non-sale transactions are excluded. Dubai’s source cannot reliably distinguish initial off-plan sales from resales.

Prices are registered values. Dataset medians describe the transaction mix, not price appreciation; price-per-square-foot medians use positive display areas, covering 2,838 Dubai homes and 247 Abu Dhabi homes this week. Previous publications remain dated releases; this article and CSV disclose the refreshed comparison. See the full methodology and data dictionary.
