These transactions amounted to a phenomenal total value exceeding AED 10.8 billion, firmly establishing Ajman as a top-tier destination for property investors across the UAE.
This exceptional performance underscores the emirate’s strategic economic vision and its highly attractive investment climate. By continually updating its regulatory frameworks and ensuring a seamless experience for buyers and developers alike, the Real Estate Regulation Department has successfully cultivated a thriving, secure environment for massive capital inflows.
Record-Breaking Sales and Mortgages
Diving deeper into the impressive H1 figures, the data reveals a highly dynamic trading environment. Engineer Omar bin Omair Al Muhairi, Director-General of the Real Estate Regulation Department, confirmed that 5,435 direct trading transactions were registered during these six months, generating a total trading value of AED 7.64 billion.
Highlighting the scale of high-net-worth investments currently entering the emirate, the single highest-value sale recorded during the first half of the year was a massive AED 215 million transaction located in the highly sought-after Al Amera area.
The mortgage sector also exhibited tremendous vitality, illustrating robust confidence from financial institutions in the local real estate market. The department registered 969 mortgage transactions between January and June, with a total value exceeding AED 1.88 billion. Notably, the highest individual mortgage transaction, valued at a remarkable AED 123.5 million, was recorded in the Liwara 1 area.
A Pillar of Economic Growth
The consistent upward trajectory of the property sector is not occurring in a vacuum; it is a fundamental driver of the broader local economy. Speaking on the strategic significance of these half-year results, Engineer Omar bin Omair Al Muhairi noted the underlying resilience of the market.
“Ajman’s real estate market had maintained its positive performance, achieving results that reflect the strength of the sector and the diversity of investment opportunities across the emirate,” Al Muhairi stated.
He further emphasized that this sustained momentum is integral to the emirate’s overarching development goals, adding:
“The real estate sector plays a pivotal role in driving the emirate’s economic growth and continues its exceptional expansion, reflecting Ajman’s standing as a leading investment destination and a promising real estate market.”
Top Performing Projects and Neighbourhoods
The data released by the Real Estate Regulation Department also provided valuable insights into where investors are currently focusing their capital within Ajman.
In terms of major developments, Al Muhairi clarified that the “Emirates City” project successfully topped the list of the most actively traded major projects. It managed to outpace other highly popular developments, finishing ahead of both the “City Towers” and “Ajman One” projects.
When examining broader residential districts, the demand was incredibly strong in specific suburban corridors. The “Al Helio 2” district confidently led the list of the most actively traded neighbourhoods, reflecting strong buyer preference for its location and amenities. It was closely followed by Al Helio 1 and Al Zahia, which also recorded phenomenal trading volumes throughout the first half of 2026.
As the emirate looks toward the second half of the year, the phenomenal AED 10.8 billion milestone achieved by the Real Estate Regulation Department proves that Ajman’s real estate sector is not just growing, it is thriving at an unprecedented pace.
