While living here on the Cote d’Azur, we are enthusiastic about Ajman because it is the fastest-growing emirate in the UAE. We could have reacted the same way to Dubai 20 years ago, but that was just a ‘too far from our bed’ story then. Today, we see how fantastically Dubai is growing and how more people are moving there. There is a lot of new construction for sale in Dubai, and all of it has been sold out within a month. This year, Dubai expects an exodus of English people who emigrate to Dubai with their savings and go to work in one of the many Free zones. Because, of course, not everyone is shopping all day; people also work there.
To guarantee Dubai’s growth, you need many industrial suppliers. And skilled workers. They do not live in Dubai but 15 minutes away in Ajman. It is more affordable there for everyone, including investors. Anyone buying an apartment building here knows it is full of tenants who pay the rent on time. As an investor, you receive tax-free rent every quarter in a bank account of your choice. We want our customers to benefit from the opportunities now available in Ajman because if you are doing well, then ultimately, we are doing well.
Growth and Resilience in January 2025
The real estate market in Ajman demonstrated significant growth and resilience in January 2025, as evidenced by the latest report from the Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation. The report highlighted 1,321 real estate transactions recorded during the month, amounting to AED 1.57 billion. Notably, the trading volume reached AED 1.26 billion, with the highest sales value observed in the “Al Zahia” area, where a single transaction was valued at AED 50 million. These figures reflect an active and flourishing real estate environment, reinforcing Ajman’s appeal as an attractive investment hub.
His Excellency Eng. Omar bin Omair Al Muhairi, Director General of the Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation, emphasized that the recorded statistics indicate a more than 20% increase in real estate transactions compared to the same period in 2024. This growth underscores the strength of the real estate sector in Ajman. It signals a promising outlook, supported by favourable investment conditions and lucrative opportunities across the emirate. The January performance builds on previous years’ momentum, showcasing Ajman as a rapidly developing market for both local and international investors.
The positive performance of Ajman Real Estate
Mortgage transactions also played a crucial role in the real estate landscape, with 175 mortgage transactions registered in January, amounting to AED 257.7 million. The highest mortgage value was recorded at AED 23.8 million in the “Ajman Industrial 1” area, highlighting the continued trust and confidence in the city’s real estate sector. These transactions indicate sustained interest in real estate financing and development, which in turn supports the broader economic landscape of the emirate.
Several key areas emerged as hotspots for real estate activity. “Al Helio 2” neighbourhood led the list of the most traded neighbourhoods, followed closely by “Al Yasmeen” and “Al Zahia.” This trend suggests that buyers and investors are particularly drawn to these areas due to their strategic locations, modern infrastructure, and high potential for appreciation in property value. Additionally, the “Emirates City” project ranked as the most traded main project, ahead of the prominent “Ajman One” and “City Towers” developments. These projects are renowned for their quality construction, comprehensive amenities, and strong demand from residents and investors.
Ajman’s real estate sector has been thriving due to investor-friendly regulations, affordable property prices compared to neighbouring emirates and continuous infrastructural development. The government has proactively implemented policies encouraging investment, such as streamlined property registration processes, competitive pricing, and attractive mortgage options. These initiatives contribute to positioning Ajman as a compelling alternative to other real estate markets in the UAE.
The positive performance of the real estate sector in January 2025 serves as a strong indicator of Ajman’s sustained growth trajectory. With increasing investor confidence, ongoing urban development, and a diversified range of property options, Ajman is poised to solidify its status as a dynamic and promising real estate market. As the emirate continues to attract investors and homebuyers, the outlook for the upcoming months remains highly optimistic, setting the stage for further expansion and prosperity in the sector.
