Dubai is the liquidity hub: off-plan towers, ready apartments in Marina, Downtown and JVC, and a rental market tied to visas and school calendars. Abu Dhabi is quieter, with more villa communities and a different transfer-fee schedule.
Buying off-plan should go through RERA-registered escrow. Ready property transfers at the Dubai Land Department or Abu Dhabi DLD equivalent. Service charges can rival a second mortgage — read the form before the yield spreadsheet.
