Emirates City has been an excellent choice both for real estate investment and personal use. The price and quality of units make it suitable for all. There are many affordable units set to be completed soon. When they become available, we expect sales activity in the secondary market to increase next year. The affordable housing segment is experiencing strong demand in Ajman, mainly in Emirates City, as properties priced below AED400,000 dominated transactions during the first half of 2019, according to latest data.

Sales and leasing demand for smaller, affordable units will continue to outweigh demand for larger properties in Ajman due to a growing young population, higher percentage of bachelors and small families, and greater yields for investors.
