Rate-Cut Ripple + Mega Pipeline: How Abu Dhabi Just Became Even More Buyer-Friendly (Q4 2025 Playbook)
A 25-basis point rate cut might seem subtle, but in Abu Dhabi’s EIBOR-linked mortgage market its impact is immediate. Lower monthly payments, easier bank approvals, and new doors opening for buyers.
Combine that with a $758.8b real estate pipeline — phased, scarcity-driven, and anchored on prime islands — and the narrative is clear: this is a market growing with confidence, not oversupply.
With AED 61.15b in transactions already closed in 2025, rental yields holding around 5–5.5%, and sold-out launches across key districts, the momentum is unmistakable.
The question is not whether to buy, but how to align your strategy. Our Q4 2025 playbook shares how to lock in mortgage pre-approvals, compare payment plans versus discounts, and pick the right areas for yield, growth, or lifestyle.
