Sharjah real estate transactions increase by 48.1% in H1

Sharjah’s real estate sector recorded AED 27 billion in transactions during the first half of 2025, a 48.1 per cent increase from the same period last year.

The Director-General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, Abdulaziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, said the "outstanding performance" of Sharjah's real estate sector reflects the vitality of the market and its continuous development.

"This significant increase is a direct translation of the firm confidence in the emirate’s real estate sector, both locally and internationally, and the continuous support of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and the keen follow-up of H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and Chairman of Sharjah’s Executive Council, which has firmly positioned Sharjah on the regional and international real estate sector,” he said. 

Al-Shamsi noted that transactions alone reached 15,686 with a value of AED 21.2 billion, were distributed across 214 areas, and covered a total area of 90 million square feet.

The growth in the number of mortgage transactions reached 2,582 with a value of approximately AED 5.7 billion.

Al-Shamsi added that growing interest from foreign investors highlights Sharjah’s strong global appeal, with investments coming from 109 nationalities. He said the emirate remains committed to sustaining this momentum by enhancing the real estate ecosystem and maintaining high standards of transparency and integration, in line with its vision for sustainable development.

The “Muwailih Commercial” area led with 2,898 transactions worth AED 3.5 billion, followed by Al-Belaida with 1,593 transactions worth AED 1.3 billion, and Al-Metraq with 1,387 transactions worth AED 430 million.

During the same period, the number of mortgage transactions reached 2,582, with a total value of AED 5.7 billion, completed through 24 financing entities.
