Ajman property market grows 21% in August 2025
Ajman logged AED 1.9 billion ($517 million) in real estate transactions across 1,389 deals in August 2025. As a result, the emirate extends a strong run for the year and shines a light on off-plan momentum in Al Zorah.
The bigger picture
Momentum has been building throughout 2025. In the first half of the year, Ajman recorded AED 12.4 billion in transactions—37% more than H1 2024. This points to deeper liquidity and growing investor confidence.
Meanwhile, July was unusually strong at AED 3.25bn across 1,920 deals. August cooled from that peak; however, it still beat August 2024, which produced the headline +21% YoY growth.
Tip: outlets often cite both transactions and valuations for July. Valuation totals (~AED 1.48bn) are appraisals, not sales, so avoid mixing them with transaction values in comps.
What’s driving demand?
- Affordability + connectivity: Entry prices remain below Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In addition, road links to Sharjah and Dubai support both end-user moves and commuter-landlord strategies.
- Healthy spread of liquidity: Deals are distributed across apartment hubs—Ajman Downtown, Emirates City, Garden City—and villa corridors such as Al Yasmeen, Al Zahya, and Al Amerah.
- Investor-friendly yields: Competitive gross yields, especially for well-located apartments, continue to attract value-driven buyers.
Off-plan spotlight: Al Zorah leads Ajman’s new-build wave
Al Zorah—Ajman’s coastal master-planned community with golf, mangroves, and a marina—now leads the emirate’s off-plan cycle. It features several launches across apartments, villas, and beachfront luxury. Crucially, developers offer clear payment plans and defined handover windows.
- Seaside Hills (apartments): from ~AED 1.28m; typical plan: 50/50; handover around Q4 2025.
- Beach Hills Villas: from ~AED 9.25m; usual plan: 50/50; handover around Q4 2025.
- Sea Glints Mansions: from ~AED 29.5m; plan: 30/70; handover around Q1 2026.
- Further releases: buildings such as Creekside, Sealine, and Gateway Porto with handovers mainly across late-2025 to 2026.
Before you commit, confirm unit availability, escrow, SPA milestones, and service charges with the developer. Prices and plans vary by unit, view, and release.
