Abu Dhabi halts rent hikes
The Abu Dhabi residential rental market experienced a notable increase of between 5% and 25% during the first five months of 2026. This rise was driven by heightened demand for apartments, especially in areas such as Reem, Khalidiya, and the Tourist Club. The decision by the Abu Dhabi Property Center, issued in June, which temporarily halted the annual rent increases, contributed to market stabilization and a reduction in price hikes, with some exceptions in certain areas. In the first quarter of the year, average rental rates rose by 15% year-on-year, with even greater increases exceeding 20% in areas with mid-quality projects. The growth is reflected by continued population expansion, rising employment rates, and limited supply availability, underscoring the strength and importance of the real estate market for the emirate's economic growth.
