Leading property market experts claim that Ajman, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah have become real estate hotspots with excellent investment potential.
The real estate market in all three emirates is booming, but Ajman is leading the way with record-breaking growth in sales and rentals, while Sharjah and RAK are becoming well-liked places to buy property in the UAE, according to dubizzle’s annual property market reports. These reports are based on primary data gathered from site visits and user behaviour throughout 2023.
The data that have been made available for each emirate demonstrate a remarkable upward trend in the sales and rental sectors in each of the three emirates, together with high rates of return on investment. These developments present profitable investment prospects and a positive picture for both prospective homeowners and investors.
According to dubizzle CEO Haider Khan, the 2023 Annual Property Market Reports for Ajman, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah highlight these cities’ burgeoning prominence in the UAE real estate market. We’ve seen steady rises in almost all villa and apartment categories, supported by timely completion of off-plan projects and other developments as well as the availability of contemporary facilities at attractive price points. Over 25 million page views were generated by listings promoted in Sharjah and the Northern Emirates in 2023, indicating the popularity of these listings among UAE property buyers. These emirates have emerged as top choices for individuals seeking more affordable options with comparable amenities and perks, as demand for real estate and investment opportunities rises throughout the United Arab Emirates, according to Khan.
The quiet emirate’s growing appeal as a premier real estate destination, fueled by its ongoing infrastructural developments, urban planning, and a variety of properties with desirable amenities, is demonstrated by the substantial surge in the Ajman property market in 2023, according to dubizzle’s dedicated report.
Due to growing interest from investors and purchasers, Ajman’s real estate saw some of the most remarkable increases in rents, per square foot pricing, and ROI numbers.
With a great Return on Investment (ROI) of 9.44%, Ajman Downtown is undoubtedly the best place to buy apartments, and this is evident from its rising value and appeal in the real estate market.

All prices in Sharjah have increased, with apartments typically costing between Dh601,000 and Dh1.01 million to buy, and between Dh21,000 and Dh45,000 per year to rent.

In 2023, the RAK real estate market continued its remarkable upward trend while exhibiting intricate downward trends.
