Real Estate9/16/2026
Ajman’s real estate market remained active in the first half of 2026, but investors need to understand the scope behind the headline numbers. The Ajman Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation reported 6,815 real estate transactions worth more than AED 10.8 billion across the wider market during H1 2026. Separately, Park Properties’ analysis of Ajman’s open development-project unit dataset identified 1,599 records for the same six-month period.
The two totals are not contradictory. They describe different datasets. The 6,815 figure is the department’s wider market announcement, while 1,599 is the number of records in a narrower public dataset covering unit dispositions and mortgage-related actions within real estate development projects. Neither figure should be described simply as “home sales.”

Data note: Figures are current to the H1 2026 period represented in the supplied CSV and sources available on 16 September 2026. The open unit dataset does not provide usable transaction values for 2026, so this article does not calculate average prices, price growth or total value from that file.
What Does the 6,815 Transaction Figure Mean
The 6,815 figure refers to real estate transactions reported across Ajman during January to June 2026, with a combined value above AED 10.8 billion. The same announcement separated 5,435 trading transactions worth AED 7.64 billion and 969 mortgage transactions worth more than AED 1.88 billion. It is therefore inaccurate to call all 6,815 transactions property sales.

Why the Open Dataset Shows 1,599 Records
The public Real Estate Units Transactions dataset has a narrower definition. Its description covers “Disposition of Real Estates Units,” “registration of mortgage” and “Mortgage value modification” for units in Ajman real estate development projects. Counting the 2026 records in the supplied file produces 923 entries in Q1 and 676 in Q2, or 1,599 for H1.

The 1,599 total should not be subtracted from, divided into or directly benchmarked against the 6,815 total as if both files cover the same universe of transactions. The correct use is complementary: the wider announcement indicates overall market activity, while the unit-level file helps reveal the mix of development-project transactions by location, property type, room count and named project.

The narrower dataset therefore shows slower recorded activity in H1 2026 than in the comparable 2025 period. This does not, by itself, prove that Ajman property prices or investor demand fell. Record counts measure activity, not price direction, transaction quality or future returns. A defensible investment conclusion requires verified price, rental, service-charge, supply and completion data.

City Center accounted for almost two-thirds of the unit-level dataset, followed by the East sector. This concentration helps explain why mass-market apartment districts dominate the file. Al Zorah’s 26 records represent a smaller, more specialised segment; low volume in a premium community should not automatically be interpreted as weak demand or poor investment performance.

Apartments dominated, representing 80.9% of the file. Apartment records fell 30.0% from Q1 to Q2, while villa records increased from 32 to 39, a 21.9% rise from a comparatively small base. The villa increase is noteworthy as a change in mix, but the sample is too limited to support a broad price or demand forecast.
What Unit Sizes Were Most Common
One-bedroom units produced 642 records, or 40.2% of the H1 dataset. Two-bedroom units followed with 539 records, or 33.7%. Together, they accounted for nearly three-quarters of recorded activity. The file also includes 234 zero-room records, but these cannot be treated automatically as studios because the property-type field and room-count field are separate classifications.

What Does the Dataset Show About Al Zorah
Al Zorah recorded 26 entries in H1 2026, equal to its 26 entries in H1 2025. The 2026 records were distributed across Seaside Hills Residence, Golf View Living, Salsabeel Golf View, Glam Residence, Golf Villas Phase 1, Exclusive 21-06, Sea Glints Mansions and Beach Hills Villas 21.
Important distinction: Park Golf Views is not named in the supplied H1 2026 CSV. It must not be combined with “Golf View Living,” which is a different project name in the dataset. Park Golf Views is discussed below because it is a current Park Properties offering in Al Zorah, not because the dataset records transactions for it.

Where Park Golf Views Fits an Ajman Investment Search
For buyers specifically seeking a golf-facing Al Zorah residence, Park Golf Views provides a current off-plan option to assess alongside the wider market evidence. Park Properties lists the development as luxury apartments with studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom residences, a 10% down payment, a 40/60 payment structure and expected handover in 2027.

Availability warning: Project prices, units, payment plans and handover estimates can change. Obtain a dated quotation, reservation form and sales and purchase agreement before relying on any commercial term. “Garden Villa” and “Sky Villa” are product labels on the project page; buyers should confirm the unit’s legal classification and title documentation.
What Investors Should Verify Before Buying in Ajman
- Transaction scope: confirm whether a statistic refers to sales, trades, mortgages, all market services or a limited project dataset.
- Developer and project status: verify registration, approvals, escrow arrangements and construction milestones with the relevant Ajman authorities.
- Total acquisition cost: request a written schedule covering registration, administration, brokerage, mortgage, valuation and other applicable charges.
- Payment-plan exposure: compare the cash due before and after handover with expected income and contingency reserves.
- Service charges: request the latest approved or estimated service-charge information and understand what it includes.
- Comparable evidence: evaluate recent transactions and asking rents for genuinely comparable units, not emirate-wide averages.
- Exit liquidity: consider the likely buyer pool, competing supply, assignment conditions and resale costs.
- Contract terms: review the SPA, completion provisions, default clauses and representations with qualified legal advice.
What the 2026 Data Means for Buyers
The strongest conclusion is not that every part of Ajman is rising or falling. The evidence shows an active wider market, alongside a narrower development-project unit dataset in which H1 records decreased year on year and activity remained concentrated in apartments and central districts. Investors should use these signals to ask better questions rather than to justify a purchase on headline volume alone.
For Al Zorah, the unit dataset indicates a smaller premium-market segment with stable H1 record counts year on year. A buyer considering Park Golf Views should therefore focus on unit-specific pricing, view and floor, payment timing, competing golf-facing supply, service charges, handover risk and realistic rental comparables. The project’s lifestyle proposition may be relevant, but returns and appreciation are not guaranteed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many real estate transactions did Ajman record in H1 2026?
The Ajman Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation reported 6,815 wider-market transactions worth more than AED 10.8 billion in H1 2026. This total should not be described as 6,815 property sales.
Why does the unit dataset contain only 1,599 records?
It has a narrower scope: unit dispositions and mortgage-related actions within Ajman real estate development projects. Its 923 Q1 records plus 676 Q2 records equal 1,599 for H1 2026.
Were there 1,599 sales in Ajman during H1 2026?
Not necessarily. The dataset includes more than sale-type activity, including mortgage registration and mortgage value modification. The accurate phrase is “1,599 records in the development-project unit transaction dataset.”
Did Ajman transaction activity increase in H1 2026?
The wider official announcement confirms substantial market activity and value. In the narrower unit dataset, H1 records declined 15.0% from 1,881 in 2025 to 1,599 in 2026. These measures have different coverage.
Which property type led the unit dataset?
Apartments led with 1,294 records, representing 80.9% of the H1 2026 development-project unit dataset.
How many Al Zorah records were in the dataset?
Al Zorah had 26 H1 2026 records, the same number as H1 2025. This is a dataset count, not a complete measure of all Al Zorah market activity.
Is Park Golf Views included in the transaction dataset?
No. Park Golf Views is not named in the supplied H1 2026 file. It is presented as a current Al Zorah project option, and should not be confused with Golf View Living.
Is Park Golf Views a guaranteed investment return?
No property can provide a guaranteed rental yield, resale profit or capital appreciation. Buyers should verify current terms and complete financial, legal and project due diligence.
Conclusion
Ajman’s H1 2026 property story has two useful layers. The wider official market recorded 6,815 transactions worth more than AED 10.8 billion. The narrower public development-project unit dataset contained 1,599 records and shows how activity was distributed by quarter, sector, district and property type. Keeping these scopes separate produces a clearer and more trustworthy market picture.
Investors interested in Al Zorah can review Park Golf Views and compare it with other Al Zorah property options. Confirm live availability, pricing, project documentation and total ownership costs before making a reservation or investment decision.
