By 2025, Ras Al Khaimah’s real estate market has become one of the hottest markets for investing in the United Arab Emirates. Property experts say that the prices of off-plan units in the emirate have increased between 15% to 20% recently, clearly indicating the ever-widening gap between supply and demand.
While there are many drivers of this market boom the scale of the Wynn Al Marjan Resort project—the region’s first integrated with a licensed gaming facility, expected to open in 2027—is likely to be one of the largest single drivers of increased tourism, hospitality and real estate in Ras Al Khaimah – at approximately $3.9 billion! We have also experienced significant investor interest with the pending expansion of Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, upgrades in urban infrastructure, and a projected population growth to around 650,000 by 2030.
BNW Development’s founder Ankur Aggarwal explains the 15% to 20% price increase of off-plan properties comes from increased demand and lower supply. He warns prospective buyers:
The rapid sell-out of many projects in Ras Al Khaimah underscores the strong demand in the real estate market and presents challenges in maintaining construction quality and sustainability.
According to Property Finder data, developments in Ras Al Khaimah are selling out in record time-some before the official launch. In the midst of this, property quality and commitment to sustainable development have emerged as major points of concern among experts in the industry.
Christopher Cina of Betterhomes says:
For buyers, this signals urgency; hesitation today could mean being priced out tomorrow. For investors, it validates early entry. And for developers, it is a clear message to accelerate launches, though they must remain mindful of construction capacity. Whether it’s sustainable depends on how infrastructure and supply evolve.
The increasing popularity of branded residences, post-handover payment plans and targeted sales campaigns through exclusive events and digital marketing has also resulted in rapid sell-outs of select projects.
In the UAE real estate market, Ras Al Khaimah is quickly emerging as a new investment destination. Although there are many opportunities associated with this upward trend, buyers and developers should exercise caution. If you are looking to invest in the UAE, getting into the Ras Al Khaimah market early can yield high returns, provided you consider the quality of construction, the project’s location, and urban development policies.
