  "summary": "The value of real estate transactions in Abu Dhabi surged by more than 76% in the first nine months of 2026, reaching Dh171.26 billion ($46.6 billion). This significant increase comes amid uncertainties caused by the ongoing war in Iran. The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre reported a 76% growth in transactions, a 30% rise in mortgage activity, and a 131% increase in foreign investment in the emirate's investment zones. Notably, foreign direct investment by non-resident individuals in Abu Dhabi's real estate sector hit Dh17.22 billion, surpassing the Dh8.2 billion recorded in 2025. The growth in transactions is driven by new developments, approvals for real estate professionals, and a strong demand for properties in key districts such as Al Reem Island, Al Hudayriyat Island, and Al Saadiyat Island.",
