Ras Al Khaimah has become one of the fastest-growing property markets in the UAE.
In the first half of 2026, the Sky Palace at Waldorf Astoria Residences was sold for AED 130 million (about $35.4 million). According to CBRE, this is the most expensive residential deal in the emirate's history.
Dubai has introduced clear rules for renting apartments and houses to several occupants.
On 26 August 2026, the law regulating real estate units for shared housing came into force in Dubai (Law No. 4 of 2026). It applies to shared apartments, houses and other residential units, including those in free zones and special development areas. Collective labour accommodation is not covered.
Sharjah is steadily turning into one of the most active property markets in the UAE.
From January to September 2026, the emirate's real estate registration department recorded 91,560 transactions worth AED 46.8 billion. The number of deals rose by 14% compared with the same period last year, and total value by 5.6%.
The UAE capital continues to strengthen its position as a destination for premium real estate.
In the third quarter of 2026, Abu Dhabi recorded 6,085 residential transactions worth AED 21.5 billion, according to Savills. The number of deals was 7% lower than a year earlier, but total value rose by 32% — buyers are choosing larger and more expensive homes.
For the first time in several years, tenants in Dubai have real negotiating power.
According to Savills' report for the third quarter of 2026, apartment rents in a number of popular communities fell by more than 10% year-on-year. The main reason is a large volume of newly completed homes, which gives tenants far more choice.
