Sharjah’s real estate sector opened 2026 with strong momentum, as transaction values rose sharply year-on-year and activity broadened across multiple asset classes.
Transaction Values Climb in January
Total real estate transactions reached AED9.3 billion in January, marking a 34.8 percent increase from AED7 billion in January 2025. Additionally, 10,333 transactions were executed during the month, signalling sustained market activity.
The total area traded in sales transactions reached approximately 23.8 million square feet. As a result, early-year performance reflected continued investor confidence and steady capital deployment.
Market depth also improved, supported by diversified demand across residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural assets. Moreover, government policies, updated legislation and strategic urban planning strengthened the emirate’s investment appeal. Major development projects and infrastructure expansion further supported inflows from domestic and foreign investors.
The Sharjah Real Estate Exhibition (ACRES) boosted activity during the month, generating sales worth AED5 billion. Consequently, overall transaction volumes increased, reinforcing positive market sentiment.
