Real estate transactions in Sharjah surged to Dhs44.3 billion during the first nine months of 2025, marking a 58.3% increase compared to the same period last year, according to new data from the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department.
The value has already surpassed the emirate’s total real estate transactions for all of 2024, which stood at Dhs40 billion.
Strong sales growth
The number of property transactions also rose by 16.3%, reaching 80,320 deals between January and September 2025, up from 69,078 in the same period last year. Sales activity included 24,238 transactions covering over 150 million square feet across 239 areas.
The report highlighted active trading in residential, commercial, and industrial zones, indicating broad demand across the sector.
Rise in mortgages
Mortgage activity showed similar momentum, with Dhs10.7 billion in registered mortgage deals, reflecting growing financing options and increased investor confidence in the market.
In total, 41,989 properties were traded during the period.
Sharjah continued to attract a diverse pool of investors, with participants from 121 nationalities. Emirati citizens led the way with Dhs21.1 billion in trading volume across 28,561 properties.
Foreign investors followed with Dhs13.1 billion across 6,116 properties, while Arab nationals recorded Dhs7.5 billion from 5,855 properties. GCC investors contributed Dhs2.6 billion across 1,457 properties.
New developments
During the same period, 14 new real estate projects were registered across 11 areas in the emirate. These included residential, commercial, and industrial developments, supporting Sharjah’s continued urban growth and sector diversification.
Abdul Aziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director-General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, said the results “reflect the strength of the local economy and the solidity of the emirate’s investment infrastructure.”
He attributed the growth to the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, and the leadership of Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Chairman of the Executive Council.
