The surge has already surpassed the total annual transaction value recorded in 2024, which stood at AED40 billion ($10.89 billion). This strong performance underscores the continued resilience and growth of Sharjah’s real estate sector and reinforces the emirate’s reputation as a stable and investor-friendly destination guided by a clear and comprehensive development strategy.

Property transactions rose 16.3% year-on-year, reaching 80,320 deals, compared to 69,078 in the same period of 2024. Mortgages also expanded significantly, amounting to AED10.7 billion, highlighting the growing role of real estate financing and the diversification of investment instruments.
During this period, a total of 24,238 sales transactions — including sales, usufruct sales, and initial sales contracts — were completed across 239 areas, covering over 150 million square feet. The report showed robust activity across residential, commercial, and industrial zones, reflecting balanced sectoral growth.

Continued Growth Backed by Leadership Vision
The report also confirmed the registration of 14 new projects across 11 strategic locations, featuring residential, commercial, and industrial complexes and towers. This expansion highlights the emirate’s urban development momentum and its commitment to diversified investment opportunities.
Abdul Aziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director-General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, said the strong performance “reflects the strength of the local economy and the solidity of the emirate’s investment infrastructure.”
He added that the sustained growth is supported by the integrated development vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, along with the directives of H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and Chairman of the Executive Council.
