Ajman's property market recorded AED 1.6 billion in real estate transactions during May 2026, according to figures released by the Ajman Land and Real Estate Regulation Department. The month's 864 transactions spanned property sales, mortgages and development-project deals, pointing to steady activity across both established freehold towers and newer residential communities. For anyone buying, selling or investing in Ajman property, the release offers one of the clearest official readings of where demand is concentrated and how sales activity compares with financing.

May 2026 Real Estate Figures at a Glance

According to the department, Ajman recorded 864 real estate transactions in May 2026 with a combined value of AED 1.6 billion. Property trading (sales) accounted for the bulk of this activity, reaching AED 1.3 billion across 679 transactions. Among individual districts, Al Zahia recorded the emirate's highest sale value for the month at AED 200 million, while the highest sale value within a real estate development project was registered in Al Zorah, at AED 1.6 million.

Mortgage activity also featured in the release: the department registered 128 mortgage transactions worth a combined AED 187.5 million, with Al Humaidiya 1 recording the highest individual mortgage value at AED 15.7 million. On the project side, Emirates City topped the list of the most actively traded major developments, ahead of City Towers and Ajman One. Among residential districts, Al Helio 2 led the ranking of the most active areas, followed by Al Helio 1 and Al Zahia.

How May Compares

May's figures sit close to the pattern reported through 2026 so far: March 2026 recorded a slightly higher AED 1.66 billion across 938 transactions, and May's activity feeds into a first-half 2026 total of more than AED 10.8 billion across 6,815 deals. The department has not published a forecast alongside the May figures.

What This Means for Ajman Property Buyers and Investors

The split between total transactions (864) and trading transactions (679) is worth noting: most of May's activity represents actual property sales rather than mortgage registrations, pointing to genuine ownership transfers rather than financing driving the headline number. Mortgages, at 128 deals worth AED 187.5 million, made up a comparatively small share of the month's value against AED 1.3 billion in trading volume, a gap buyers can factor in when weighing how much of the market may be cash-funded, though the department does not break this down further. The district and project rankings add context too: Emirates City, City Towers and Ajman One remaining the most-traded major projects shows continued depth in established developments, while Al Helio 2, Al Helio 1 and Al Zahia topping the district ranking signals demand is not confined to older, larger-scale projects alone.
