Sharjah’s real estate market kicked off 2025 with impressive momentum, achieving AED 7 billion in transactions this January – a substantial increase from AED 3.9 billion recorded during the same period last year. This reflects nearly an 80% growth in transaction value, paired with a significant rise in activity as the total number of deals more than doubled, reaching 11,116 compared to 5,412 in January 2024.
This surge highlights Sharjah’s ongoing transformation into a key investment destination. Policy changes enabling buyers from all nationalities to own property have been a driving force behind this growth. The emirate’s diverse real estate offerings – ranging from upscale residences to budget-friendly options – have broadened its appeal among both investors and residents.
According to data from the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, mortgage transactions played a considerable role in this market upswing, with 677 deals totaling AED 1.1 billion.
Sales activity spanned 114 areas across the emirate, covering residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural lands. The Muwailah Commercial district emerged as a prime hotspot, recording the largest individual deal – a built-in land sale valued at AED 46.5 million.
Muwailah Commercial also led in the number of sales transactions, finalizing 179 deals. Following closely were Hay Hoshi with 98 transactions, Al-Khan with 91, and Um Fanain with 76.
In terms of trading value, Muwailah Commercial maintained its lead, contributing AED 239.4 million. The Al-Sajaa Industrial area followed with AED 187.9 million, while Um Fanain and Hay Hoshi registered AED 141.3 million and AED 109.7 million respectively.
With Sharjah’s real estate market gaining strong traction, investors are seeing a wealth of opportunities across its dynamic property landscape.
