Sharjah’s real estate sector achieved an impressive milestone in 2025, with property transactions reaching AED44.3 billion during the first nine months of the year. This marks a 58.3 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024, according to the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department (SRERD). The figure already surpasses the total annual transactions recorded in 2024, which stood at AED40 billion.

This outstanding performance reflects the strength and confidence in Sharjah’s property market, highlighting its role as a safe and investor-friendly destination. The emirate’s comprehensive development plans and strong regulatory framework continue to attract local and international investors.

The report showed that the total number of property transactions climbed by 16.3 percent, reaching 80,320 in 2025, compared to 69,078 during the same period last year. This growth demonstrates sustained investor interest and an expanding property market that spans residential, commercial, and industrial segments.

Mortgage activity also saw a notable rise, with the total value reaching AED10.7 billion. This increase indicates greater access to financing, growing confidence from banks, and diversification in real estate investment instruments.

According to the department, a total of 24,238 sales transactions—including direct sales, usufruct sales, and initial contracts—were recorded across 239 locations in Sharjah. These transactions covered over 150 million square feet of land and property space.

The report highlighted particularly strong demand across residential communities, commercial zones, and industrial developments. This diversification reinforces Sharjah’s position as a balanced and mature market, catering to both investors and residents.

Sharjah’s reputation as a global investment hub was further strengthened by the participation of investors from 121 nationalities. The emirate continues to attract individuals and companies from around the world due to its transparent regulations, affordable prices, and strategic location.

Emirati investors led the market, recording AED21.1 billion in trading value across 28,561 properties. Foreign investors followed closely, contributing AED13.1 billion across 6,116 properties. Arab nationals recorded AED7.5 billion in transactions for 5,855 properties, while GCC investors accounted for AED2.6 billion across 1,457 properties.

In total, 41,989 properties were traded during this period, reflecting a robust and diverse investment landscape.

Sharjah’s development momentum continued with the registration of 14 new real estate projects across 11 strategic locations. These projects include residential complexes, commercial towers, and industrial zones, underscoring the emirate’s focus on urban expansion and sustainable growth.

Such large-scale developments are part of Sharjah’s long-term vision to diversify its economy and strengthen its infrastructure. These initiatives ensure that investors have a wide range of opportunities to participate in the emirate’s evolving property landscape.

Abdul Aziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director-General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, emphasized that the record-breaking results reflect the resilience of the local economy and the strong foundation of the emirate’s investment infrastructure.

He credited the success to the strategic vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and the guidance of H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and Chairman of the Executive Council.

Their leadership has played a vital role in creating a supportive environment for investors, encouraging business stability, and promoting innovation across key economic sectors.

The continuous growth of Sharjah’s property market highlights the emirate’s commitment to sustainable urban development and economic diversification. As infrastructure projects progress and new communities emerge, the demand for real estate is expected to rise further in the coming years.

Sharjah’s combination of affordability, stability, and strategic investment policies has positioned it as one of the most attractive real estate destinations in the region.

The record AED44.3 billion in property transactions serves as clear evidence of Sharjah’s growing appeal and long-term potential, signaling continued confidence from investors both locally and globally.
