Abu Dhabi unveils verified property listing platform to boost trust and combat misleading adverts
The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre said the multiple listing portal – called Madhmoun – would offer brokers, developers and buyers a 'reliable and centralised' platform for property transactions.
Madhmoun – which means verified in Arabic – will provide verified listings, offers real-time updates about properties and enables authentic advertising to ensure that all transactions are based on valid and reliable information.
'We are delighted to introduce Madhmoun, which we believe will transform how real estate transactions are conducted in Abu Dhabi,' said Rashed Al Omaira, acting director general of Adrec.
'This initiative reflects our commitment to bringing innovation, transparency, and efficiency to the real estate market.
'The launch of Madhmoun represents a significant step forward for Abu Dhabi, strengthening trust and transparency across the real estate market. As the first initiative of its kind in the region, Adrec is proud to lead this effort, further reinforcing Abu Dhabi's status as a resilient and globally competitive real estate investment hub.
'Madhmoun is not an advertising agent but an internationally recognised platform designed to empower aggregators, elevate market standards, and enable authentic advertising,' added Mr Al Omaira.
Adrec said the launch of the platform was 'upcoming' but did give a specific date for its roll-out.
Building up trust
Every property listed on Madhmoun will be thoroughly verified to ensure accuracy and reliability, said officials. Users will have access to the latest property data, allowing for informed decision-making.
Adrec said Madhmoun will 'eliminate misleading property advertisements, providing users with honest and transparent listings'.
The authority said the initiative will increase the visibility of property listings by an average of 70 per cent and will contain the latest information on homes available in a given market or area.
Supply and demand
In August, Adrec unveiled the capital's first residential rental index, aimed at providing indicative rental values for both tenants and landlords across different areas of the capital.
The Rental Index is available online at Adrec's website and highlights rents in different areas.
Abu Dhabi's residential sale prices and rents rose last year amid higher demand and a supply shortage in the emirate, according to a report.
Home sale prices increased by 11 per cent annually in 2024, while rents rose by 20 per cent, real estate company Cushman & Wakefield Core said in a report this month.
Dubai has also taken steps to enhance transparency and stability in the property, with the emirate also witnessing a surge in demand as its population rises.
The Dubai Land Department launched a Smart Rental Index on January 2 – including a star rating system for residential buildings. The system uses artificial technology to deliver property price updates at any time, unlike its predecessor, which was updated once a year.
The old index was based on zones or districts, while the new one focuses on each building and covers all areas in Dubai including freehold and non-freehold areas.

The history Both Sheikh Zayed and Sheikh Rashid have played pivotal roles in creating the union that is the United Arab Emirates today. We all know the unification was signed on December 2, 1971 after the departure of the British colony, and leading up to it, Sheikh Zayed, Ruler of Abu Dhabi at the time, was the one who set off the spark with a meeting in March 1971 with Sheikh Rashid, Ruler of Dubai at the time, among the key figures who attended. Credit: Al Ittihad Although, the seeds of this campaign were sowed much earlier, in 1968, when the then independent states of Abu Dhabi and Dubai signed a union agreement amongst them in February of that year – this transformation was many years in the making. Credit: On December 1, 1971, Britain's official deadline of the withdrawal from the area expired and Sheikh Zayed signed the termination of the special treaty relations between the British government and the leaders of the Trucial States in place since 1820, thereby officialising the transfer of power from the Persian Gulf Residency, the Middle Eastern leg of the British Empire, to the new UAE. Credit: Al Ittihad This was proclaimed on December 2, 1971, which is now the National Day of the country. According to a report by The National, the unification was conceived and discussed on a farm in the area of Al Khawaneej in Dubai; Sheikh Zayed became the first president and Sheikh Rashid the first vice president of this young nation. centralbankuae Images: Online > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
