Ajman is the UAE's entry-level property market: the smallest emirate, a short drive from Sharjah and Dubai, and home to some of the lowest asking prices in the country. This report breaks down the **Ajman property market in 2026** by community and unit size, using **48,761 live Property Finder listings** (32,214 for sale and 16,395 for rent) as of 29 October 2026.

For the interactive version of these numbers, see [Ajman market data](/market-data/ajman). Companion reports cover [Sharjah](/blog/sharjah-property-market-2026), [Abu Dhabi](/blog/abu-dhabi-property-market-2026) and [Dubai rents](/blog/dubai-rental-market-report-2025), with a monthly [Dubai rent report](/reports).

## Headline findings

- **Apartments are cheap by UAE standards.** The median asking price for an Ajman apartment is **AED 619,000** (about **AED 511 per sq ft**), and the median asking rent is **AED 35,000 a year**.
- **The for-sale market is villa-led.** There are more villas for sale (13,728) than apartments (10,757), with a median villa asking price of **AED 1.85M**. Al Helio alone has over 6,800 villas listed for sale.
- **Indicative gross yields of about 5–8% for apartments**, with the emirate-wide figure at roughly **5.7%** (median apartment rent ÷ median apartment asking price).
- **Off-plan is a meaningful slice:** about **18% of sale listings** are off-plan, and there are 24 active new projects from 12 developers.
- **Asking prices have been edging down, not up.** Since 8 September 2026, few listings have changed price, but cuts outnumber rises: about **three in four rent changes were cuts** (median −5.7%).

## Apartment prices and rents by bedroom

Median asking prices and annual asking rents for apartments across Ajman:

| Unit | Median asking rent (AED/yr) | Median asking price (AED) | Price per sq ft (AED) |
|------|----------------------------:|--------------------------:|----------------------:|
| Studio | 20,000 | 350,000 | 594 |
| 1 bed | 30,000 | 544,000 | 519 |
| 2 bed | 42,000 | 713,097 | 460 |
| 3 bed | 56,495 | 1,173,500 | 508 |

A one-bedroom apartment in Ajman is typically listed for rent at **AED 30,000 a year**, less than half the median 1-bed new-lease rent in Dubai. Studios have the highest price per square foot, as in most UAE markets.

## Prices, rents and yields by community

Apartment medians for communities with deep sale *and* rent inventory (at least 30 listings each). Gross yield is the median asking rent divided by the median asking price in the same community.

| Community | Median apartment rent (AED/yr) | Median apartment price (AED) | Price per sq ft (AED) | Gross yield |
|-----------|-------------------------------:|-----------------------------:|----------------------:|------------:|
| Al Zorah | 100,000 | 1,511,500 | 1,300 | ~6.6% |
| Ajman Corniche Road | 60,000 | 1,069,500 | 775 | ~5.6% |
| Al Rashidiya | 42,000 | 808,000 | 518 | ~5.2% |
| Al Sawan | 42,000 | 640,000 | 402 | ~6.6% |
| Al Alia | 28,000 | 562,000 | 565 | ~5.0% |
| Al Nuaimiya | 30,000 | 550,000 | 492 | ~5.5% |
| Al Amerah | 27,490 | 550,346 | 513 | ~5.0% |
| Al Bustan | 35,000 | 543,000 | 480 | ~6.4% |
| Ajman Downtown | 37,000 | 520,000 | 393 | ~7.1% |
| Emirates City | 37,000 | 510,284 | 465 | ~7.3% |
| Ajman Uptown | 33,000 | 510,000 | 464 | ~6.5% |
| Al Ameera Village | 33,000 | 440,000 | 537 | ~7.5% |
| Al Yasmeen | 34,000 | 436,558 | 528 | ~7.8% |
| Garden City | 33,000 | 350,000 | 367 | ~9.4% |

Two patterns stand out:

- **Al Zorah is Ajman's premium address.** Its apartments are listed at about AED 1,300 per sq ft, more than double the emirate median, and its villas at a median of about AED 4.25M.
- **Yields are highest where entry prices are lowest.** Garden City, Al Yasmeen, Al Ameera Village and Emirates City all show indicative yields above 7%. Treat these as directional: medians in each community reflect a different mix of unit sizes, and asking prices are not achieved prices.

Al Nuaimiya has the deepest apartment inventory in Ajman (about 1,900 apartments for rent and 1,400 for sale), followed by Al Rashidiya, Ajman Downtown and Ajman Corniche Road.

## Villas: where most of the for-sale stock sits

| Community | Median villa/townhouse price (AED) | Median villa/townhouse rent (AED/yr) | Distinct villas for sale |
|-----------|-----------------------------------:|-------------------------------------:|-------------------------:|
| Al Helio | 1,795,000 | 110,000 | 1,841 |
| Al Zahya | 1,690,000 | 95,000 | 1,013 |
| Al Yasmeen | 1,850,000 | 105,000 | 749 |
| Al Amerah | 1,995,000 | 110,000 | 305 |
| Al Zorah | 4,250,000 | 300,000 | 292 |
| Al Mowaihat | 2,100,000 | 115,000 | 277 |
| Al Rawda | 2,500,000 | 120,000 | 258 |

The same standard villa is often advertised by several agents at once: Al Helio has about 6,500 villa sale listings but only about 1,840 distinct ones. The table counts each villa once (same size, price and bedrooms) and takes medians over those.

Across Ajman, the median villa is listed at **AED 1.85M** with a median asking rent of **AED 110,000 a year**, and townhouses at **AED 1.3M** (rent AED 85,000). In the large villa communities (Al Helio, Al Zahya, Al Yasmeen), indicative villa yields work out at roughly 5.5–6%.

## Off-plan and new projects

- **About 18% of Ajman sale listings are off-plan** (5,789 of 32,214), most of them sold directly by developers.
- **24 active new projects** from 12 developers, led by GJ Real Estate, Tiger Group, Azha Development and Al Zorah Development.
- Off-plan is most visible in **Al Ameera Village** (28% of its sale listings) and **Ajman Downtown** (11%).

## Are Ajman prices going up or down?

We have tracked every listing's asking price daily since 8 September 2026. Over that period:

- **Rentals:** 427 live rental listings (2.6%) changed their asking rent. 311 of those were cuts and 100 were rises; the median cut was **−5.7%**.
- **Sales:** 506 live sale listings (1.6%) changed their asking price. 297 were cuts and 200 were rises; the median cut was **−4.8%**.

Most listings have held their price, so this is a small signal, but where landlords and sellers are adjusting, they are mostly adjusting down, especially on rents.

## Commercial and land

Ajman also has a deep land market (3,995 plots for sale, median AED 753,500) and a small commercial segment. See [Ajman land](/market-data/ajman/land) and [Ajman commercial](/market-data/ajman/commercial).

## Reproduce this report with the API

Every figure here comes from live listings you can query yourself. Ajman's Property Finder `location_id` is **5** (resolve any community with [`/autocomplete-location`](/documentation/endpoints/autocomplete-location)).

```python
import requests
from statistics import median

HOST = "uae-real-estate-property.p.rapidapi.com"
HEADERS = {"x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "x-rapidapi-host": HOST}

def prices(endpoint, **params):
    """Collect listing prices across a few pages of results."""
    values = []
    for page in range(1, 4):
        res = requests.get(f"https://{HOST}/{endpoint}", headers=HEADERS,
                           params={"location_id": 5, "page": page, **params}).json()
        values += [p["price"]["value"] for p in res["data"] if p["price"]["value"]]
    return values

rents = prices("search-rent", property_type="apartment", bedrooms=1, rent_frequency="yearly")
asks = prices("search-buy", property_type="apartment", bedrooms=1)
print(f"Ajman 1-bed: median rent AED {median(rents):,.0f}, median price AED {median(asks):,.0f}")
print(f"Indicative gross yield: {median(rents) / median(asks):.1%}")
```

- [`/search-rent`](/documentation/endpoints/search-rent) and [`/search-buy`](/documentation/endpoints/search-buy) return live listings with `price`, `bedrooms`, `size` and `location_tree`; add `completion_status=off_plan` to `/search-buy` for off-plan stock.
- [`/price-trend-of-location`](/documentation/endpoints/price-trend-of-location) returns price trends for a location (`location_id=5`).
- [`/search-new-projects`](/documentation/endpoints/search-new-projects) lists new developments.

## How this report was built

All figures are **asking prices and asking rents from live Property Finder listings** in Ajman as of 29 October 2026 (listings seen in that day's complete scan). Rents are annual asking rents. We report medians to limit the effect of outliers, and exclude sale prices below AED 50,000 or above AED 500M and annual rents below AED 8,000 or above AED 20M. Gross yield is median asking rent ÷ median asking price for apartments in the same community, shown only where both have at least 30 listings. Price changes compare each live listing's asking price on 8 September 2026 (or when first seen) with its latest price. These are market indicators, not registered transaction values: Ajman transactions are not included in this dataset.
