These figures provide a broad market benchmark, not a price estimate for every home. Buyers should also compare individual properties and current asking prices to understand what their budget can buy.
What Is the Average Property Price in Abu Dhabi?
According to Savills' Q3 2026 residential market report, average residential prices in Abu Dhabi were:
- Apartments: AED 22,700 per square metre, up 9% year on year.
- Villas and townhouses: AED 18,200 per square metre, up 8% year on year.
These figures represent average prices per square metre, rather than the total cost of purchasing a property. A larger home can have a higher overall price even if its price per square metre is lower.
It is also important to distinguish these market indicators from advertised property prices. Transaction data reflects completed sales, while property portals may report asking-price estimates based on the homes listed at a particular time.
For buyers, reviewing both types of data can provide a more useful picture of the Abu Dhabi property market.
How Much Do Apartments Cost in Abu Dhabi?
Apartment prices in Abu Dhabi vary considerably by community, size, bedroom count and development. PSI's available listings provide a practical snapshot of the advertised prices buyers may encounter.
For example, the listings reviewed include one-bedroom apartments on Al Reem Island from AED 1.25 million at Radiant Garden and AED 1.6 million at Radiant Heights. On Yas Island, a two-bedroom apartment at Bab Al Qasr Residences 31 is listed at AED 2 million. Premium properties can cost considerably more, including a two-bedroom apartment at Mamsha Al Saadiyat listed at AED 14.5 million.
These examples show why there is no single price that applies to every Abu Dhabi apartment. Buyers should compare properties with similar bedroom counts, floor areas, locations and specifications before deciding which options fit their budget.
Prices reflect selected PSI listings supplied for this article and may change. They are advertised prices, not completed transaction values, and do not represent the full market. Contact PSI to confirm current prices, availability and property details.
What Is the Average Price of a Villa in Abu Dhabi?
Villa prices in Abu Dhabi depend on the location, size, number of bedrooms and property features. PSI listings show options at different price points.
For example, a two-bedroom villa in Al Reef Villas is listed at AED 1.65 million. Four-bedroom villas in Fay Al Reeman II start from AED 3.8 million among the listings reviewed, while a three-bedroom villa in Yas Park Views is listed at AED 5 million.
Three- and Four-Bedroom Villas
In the PSI listings reviewed, four-five bedroom villas in Al Reeman II and Fay Al Reeman II range from AED 3.8 million to AED 5 million. A four-bedroom villa in Yas Park Views is listed at around AED 6 million.
Prices vary by property size, layout, plot area and community. Compare these details, along with parking and available amenities, before choosing a home.
Five-Bedroom Villas and Larger Homes
Larger villas can cost considerably more, particularly in premium communities. A five-bedroom villa in Yas Riva Villas is listed at AED 23 million.
These are selected asking prices, not average market values. Compare the property's size, location and features before deciding whether it fits your budget.
How Much Do Townhouses Cost in Abu Dhabi?
Townhouses offer an option for buyers who want more room than an apartment, often with multiple floors and private outdoor areas.
PSI listings include a two-bedroom townhouse in Bloom Living – Casares, Zayed City, for AED 2.25 million. Three-bedroom townhouses in Bloom Living Seville and Olvera are listed at AED 2.9 million and AED 3.25 million, respectively.
Other examples include three-bedroom townhouses at Yas Park Gate for AED 3.95 million to AED 4 million, and a four-bedroom townhouse at Nawayef Village Townhouses on Hudayriyat Island for AED 5.3 million.
Prices depend on the community, size, layout and property features. Before buying, compare the asking price, internal area, outdoor space, parking and service charges.

What Factors Affect Property Prices in Abu Dhabi?
Two properties in the same neighbourhood can have different prices. Several factors help explain these differences.
- Location: Proximity to workplaces, schools, transport links, retail and leisure destinations can influence buyer demand.
- Size and layout: Bedroom count alone does not determine value. Internal floor area, plot size, storage, balconies and the overall layout also matter.
- Ready or off-plan status: Ready properties can be viewed and assessed in person. Off-plan purchases require buyers to review the development specifications, construction progress, payment terms and expected handover date.
- Developer and building condition: The quality of construction, property maintenance and shared facilities can affect a home's appeal.
- Views and amenities: Waterfront settings, community facilities, parking and views may influence the price, depending on the specific development.
- Market conditions: Supply, buyer demand and transaction activity change over time. Historical figures and current listings should be considered alongside recent market reports.
What Additional Costs Should Buyers Budget For?
The advertised property price is not necessarily the full amount required to complete a purchase. Depending on the transaction, buyers may also need to budget for:
- Applicable registration and transfer fees.
- Agency fees, where applicable.
- Mortgage arrangement, valuation and related bank charges if financing the purchase.
- Service charges and community fees.
- Moving, furnishing, maintenance or fit-out expenses, where relevant.
The applicable costs depend on the property and transaction. Ask for a breakdown before committing and confirm the latest fees with the relevant authority, bank or service provider.
How Can You Find a Property That Fits Your Budget?
Before choosing a property, establish your overall budget and compare options that meet your requirements.
- Choose your property type. Decide whether an apartment, townhouse or villa best suits your needs.
- Shortlist communities. Consider your budget, daily routine, preferred location and lifestyle.
- Compare similar properties. Review homes with comparable sizes, bedroom counts, conditions and completion status.
- Account for additional costs. Include applicable transaction fees, service charges and any financing or furnishing expenses.
- Confirm current details. Asking prices, availability and off-plan terms can change. Verify the information for the specific property before making a decision.
