The real estate market in Sharjah delivered its strongest performance on record in 2025, with total transaction value rising to AED65.6 billion ($17.9 billion), a 64.3 percent jump compared to AED40 billion ($10.9 billion) last year.
The milestone reflects the increasing confidence of investors in the stable regulatory framework of the emirate, expanding the project pipeline and increasing attractiveness to domestic and international buyers.
According to official statistics, the total number of real estate transactions reached 132,659 in 2025, an increase of 26.3 percent year-on-year (YoY), confirming the acceleration of momentum in the entire sector and the expanded investment base.
Strong sales growth
Sales activity has been a major driver of growth. Transactions increased to 33,580, marking an increase of 38.4 percent compared to 2024. Demand was driven by a combination of end-user purchases and investment activity, supported by attractive rental yields, price stability and a wide range of residential projects that offer flexible financing options.
The strong performance reflects Sharjah’s long-term development strategy, led by His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, and supported by His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the Executive Council.
The leadership’s focus on regulatory stability and equitable growth has helped to establish a strong and reliable real estate market capable of attracting sustainable investment.
Abdulaziz Ahmed Al Shamsi, Director General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, said the results highlight the maturity of the emirate’s property ecosystem. “The phenomenal growth achieved by Sharjah’s real estate sector by 2025 is the result of clear leadership vision and long-term strategic planning,” he said. “These efforts have created an integrated real estate system designed for legal stability and equitable development, providing a reliable and sustainable investment environment.”
Confidence in banks and financial institutions was also evident. The total amount of real estate loans reached AED15.5 billion through 6,300 transactions, representing a growth of 45.1 percent compared to 2024, underlining the strong appetite for credit and regulatory confidence.
Sharjah’s international appeal continued to strengthen, with investors from 129 nationalities active in the market, up from 120 a year earlier. Properties traded by foreign investors increased to 60,322, compared to 45,676 in 2024. Emiratis accounted for AED33.8 billion of the transaction value, while investors from other nationalities contributed AED18.5 billion.
The Sharjah Land Registry Department said the ongoing digital transformation and smart services have played a major role in improving transactions, improving transparency and improving the overall customer experience, helping to strengthen the emirate’s position as a competitive and attractive real estate destination.
