Sharjah’s real estate sector achieved record trading of AED65.6 billion in 2025, marking a 64.3% surge, driven by investor demand and digital services.

SHARJAH: The Sharjah real estate sector recorded its highest-ever trading value in 2025, reaching AED65.6 billion, a substantial 64.3 percent rise compared to AED40 billion in 2024. The increase signals growing investor confidence and strong market expansion across residential, commercial, and mixed-use segments.

The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department confirmed 132,659 real estate transactions in 2025 — a 26.3 percent increase from the previous year. Sales transactions alone rose to 33,580, a 38.4 percent jump driven by end-user and investor demand, stable pricing, and accessible financing schemes.

The surge is attributed to the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, and H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler, whose support has fostered legislative stability and long-term growth. Abdulaziz Ahmed Al Shamsi, Director-General of the Real Estate Registration Department, highlighted the strategic planning behind this success, stating that Sharjah has built a sustainable and transparent investment environment.

Mortgage activity also surged, with AED15.5 billion registered across 6,300 transactions — up 45.1 percent. Investors from 129 nationalities participated in the market, with foreign ownership accounting for more than AED31.7 billion in total. UAE nationals led activity with AED33.8 billion worth of investments in 41,066 properties.

Smart government services and digital transformation played a vital role in streamlining processes and ensuring transparency. Key transaction types, such as title deeds, initial sales contracts, ownership certificates, and property valuations, all witnessed double-digit growth over 2024 levels.

This performance cements Sharjah’s real estate sector as a key economic pillar and regional hub for property investment.
