The Nawayef East B price increase reflects a change in the mix and release pricing of units registered in each period. ADREC records sale prices at the time of registration; comparing across years measures what registered buyers paid, not necessarily what unchanged units are worth. Interpret year-on-year changes as indicative of market direction, not as a repeat-sales price index.

The Secondary Market on Hudayriyat Island

Of 3,936 transactions in the dataset, 88 are confirmed secondary sales (resales of off-plan units before completion). This represents 2.2% of all transactions, a meaningful but thin assignment market consistent with a community where most projects are still well before handover.

Al Naseem has the most active resale market (28 transactions) given its 2026-2027 handover proximity. Resale AED/sqft on Al Naseem 4BR (AED 1,106) is close to primary rates, suggesting the market is fairly priced at launch.

What This Data Tells Buyers: and What It Does Not

Hudayriyat's 3,936 registered transactions provide a real picture of what buyers have paid, across which projects, and at what price per square foot. A few things are clear: the market is almost entirely off-plan and primary; the pricing tier ranges from AED 2.2M apartments to AED 97.5M mansions; and the AED/sqft rate has moved from AED 1,175 in Q4 2024 to AED 1,927 in 2026 across the community.

What this data cannot tell you: what any individual unit will be worth at handover, what rental income it will generate, or whether prices will continue to rise. The figures are a snapshot of registered purchase prices. Most projects on the island will complete between 2027 and 2030, so the secondary and rental markets are still forming. Buyers should treat this data as a starting point for due diligence, not a forecast.
