Ras Al Khaimah's Al Marjan Island dominated off-plan apartment interest, accounting for 64.4% of views, according to Bayut, the region's leading property portal. The data, analyzed from March to August 2026, reveals a distinct divide between completed properties and new developments. Ready homes attracted 59.4% of residential sales views, significantly higher than the 40.6% for off-plan properties.
Al Marjan Island led off-plan demand, offering waterfront residences and branded developments that appealed to buyers seeking lifestyle-focused experiences. The five most-viewed off-plan projects were all located here, collectively attracting about 64% of project views. Playa Viva led, with 23.2% of project views and an average advertised price of about Dh1.29 million.
Despite the off-plan segment's concentration around Al Marjan Island, completed properties continued to attract broad interest across Ras Al Khaimah. Ready homes accounted for 59.4% of residential sales views, reflecting demand for established communities and properties available immediately. Al Hamra Village led ready home interest, followed by Mina Al Arab and Yasmin Village.
The data highlights two separate dynamics within the emirate's residential market: established communities sustain broad demand for completed homes, while premium waterfront destinations, particularly Al Marjan Island, shape the off-plan market.
