The emirate’s commercial real estate sector demonstrated exceptional strength in January 2026, capturing the largest share of valuation activity at AED626.5 million, significantly outpacing residential properties which recorded a combined value of AED329 million.
Eng. Omar bin Omair Al Muhairi, Director-General of the Ajman Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation, noted that the 242 valuation transactions spanned a diverse range of assets including commercial, residential, and industrial properties.
“These valuation activities encompassed a variety of transaction types, such as personal valuations, those tied to court proceedings and institutional needs, and others connected to long-term Golden Residence permits for investors,” Al Muhairi stated.
The report revealed that specific transaction categories — including personal valuations, court-related proceedings, and Golden Residence applications — accounted for 167 transactions surpassing AED303 million in value.
Beyond property valuations, Ajman’s broader real estate market recorded highly active January performance with 1,520 transactions valued at AED2.07 billion. This surge continues the upward trajectory from December 2025, which saw a 22% year-on-year increase in transaction volumes.
The Al Helio 2 area emerged as a standout performer, recording the highest individual sales value at AED34 million and leading as the most-traded neighborhood. Among major developments, Emirates City maintained its position as the most active project, followed by City Towers and Ajman One.
Mortgage activity demonstrated significant strength with 174 operations totaling over AED484 million, led by the Liwara 1 area. The robust figures underscore Ajman’s growing appeal as a value-oriented investment destination, driven by flexible payment structures and residency incentives.
The emirate’s performance aligns with broader GCC real estate market momentum, as regional property sectors benefit from easing monetary conditions and infrastructure investment. Industry observers note that Ajman continues to attract first-time homebuyers and long-term investors seeking opportunities beyond saturated markets like Dubai, where prices rose 12.1% in 2025.
The combination of competitive pricing, investor-friendly policies including the Golden Residence program, and strong transaction volumes positions Ajman for sustained growth through 2026.
