The surge has already surpassed the emirate’s total annual transaction value for 2024, which stood at AED40bn ($10.9bn), highlighting the strength and dynamism of Sharjah’s real estate sector and reinforcing its status as a stable, investor-friendly destination underpinned by a comprehensive development strategy.

The period also saw the registration of 14 new projects across 11 strategic areas, including residential, commercial, and industrial complexes and towers — reflecting the emirate’s ongoing urban expansion and growing investment appeal.
Sustained growth
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.”
With transactions already exceeding last year’s total by the third quarter, Sharjah continues to position itself as one of the Gulf’s most resilient and globally appealing property markets.
The emirate’s balanced growth across investor groups, financing segments, and urban developments points to a mature, diversified market outlook heading into 2026.
