The Ras Al Khaimah residential market is entering a phase of steady maturation, with capital growth moderating from prior peaks. This edition of the ValuStrat Price Index (VPI) highlights a stark divergence in transaction activity, as robust off-plan demand heavily eclipses the secondary market.

• Off-plan transactions dominated the market, accounting for 88% of total residential sales with over 1,500 units traded.
• Apartment capital values led overall performance, appreciating 13.9% annually, driven by strong gains of 17.2% in Al Marjan Island.
