Sharjah’s Real Estate Market Report H1 2025

AED 27 Billion in Transactions: A Surge in H1 2025

The first half of 2025 is a good start for Sharjah real estate. Market transactions hit AED 27 billion, up 48.1% from AED 18.2 billion during the same months last year. The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department reports that transaction numbers also grew 3.3% to 48,059, compared to 46,524 in early 2024.

This big value jump, despite only a small rise in transaction numbers, hints at rising property values across Sharjah. The Sharjah Property Market has grown steadily for years, but now prices are increasing and properties are delivering huge appreciations.

Sales volume touched 15,686 transactions in the first six months, which is worth about AED 21.2 billion, a straight 45.1% hike than last year’s 10,809 deals. These sales spread across 214 areas, covering 90 million square feet. Abdulaziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi from SRERD says these numbers prove how confident investors are about the Sharjah real estate market.

Key Drivers Behind the 48.1% Market Expansion

Several factors pushed the remarkable Sharjah real estate growth 2025. Let’s explore one by one.

Economic Stability and Government Support

A major growth driver is Sharjah’s stable economy. Support from Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, and Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, has significantly loosened the laws about property investment in Sharjah as an expat. Modern infrastructure and investor-friendly subsidies have made a safe environment that attracts millions of UHNWIs. This support system builds trust in the Sharjah Property Market.

Diverse Investor Pool

The Sharjah Real Estate market now attracts investors from all over. The first half of 2025 saw investment from 109 different countries.

UAE nationals invested the most - AED 12.2 billion across 14,307 properties, making up 45.2% of investments. GCC nationals invested about AED 1.2 billion for 889 properties (4.6%), while Arab investors added AED 5.4 billion through 4,057 properties (20.1%).

Foreign investment broke records, hitting AED8.1 billion across 3,878 properties, a sharp 30.1% of all transaction value. Foreign investor numbers jumped 39.4% to 6,662, buying 40.6% more properties than last year.

After Emiratis, Indian investors bought the most properties (1,525), followed by Syrians (969), Egyptians (685), Jordanians (678), and Iraqis (576). This investor pool brings lots of capital, driving up demand and prices.

Strong Mortgage Activity

Mortgage activity looked strong, too. Sharjah witnessed 2,582 mortgage transactions worth AED5.7 billion through 24 financial institutions. This shows good cooperation between Sharjah real estate and banks, giving buyers solid financing options.

Top mortgage areas are as follows:

• Tilal (194 transactions, AED339.2 million)
• Muwailih Commercial (167 transactions, AED707.3 million)
• Um Fanain (146 transactions, AED222.6 million)
• Al-Saja’a Industrial (71 transactions, AED204.8 million).

Geographic and Property Type Diversity

Sharjah real estate growth 2025 occurred across many areas. Muwailih Commercial topped the list with 2,898 transactions worth AED3.5 billion. Al-Belaida saw 1,593 transactions (AED1.3 billion), while Al-Metraq had 1,387 transactions (AED430 million).

• Residential dominated sales with 11,459 transactions (74.6%)
• Industrial properties saw 3,195 transactions (20.8%)
• Commercial properties 603 (4%)
• Agricultural Properties 95 (0.6%).

This spread across locations and property types distributes investment throughout Sharjah, creating multiple growth spots rather than concentrating in one area.

New Development Projects

Eight new real estate projects got registered in early 2025. These include four housing complexes in Muwailih Commercial, Al-Tay, and Al-Tay West, plus four new towers- two industrial ones in Al-Saja’a and two mixed-use in Al-Belaida and Al-Waha.

These developments show developers trust the Sharjah property market enough to invest in new projects, feeding the growth cycle.

Future Outlook for Sharjah’s Booming Property Sector

Sharjah real estate growth 2025 looks set to continue, with several factors suggesting more expansion ahead.

Sustained Government Support

Sharjah’s leadership remains committed to keeping momentum going by improving real estate systems and maintaining transparency, integration, and sustainable growth. This ongoing support creates a stable foundation for future market development.

Increasing Foreign Investment

With foreign investment already breaking records in early 2025, this trend will likely continue as Sharjah cements its position as a regional real estate hub. The appeal to international investors suggests foreign money will keep flowing into the Sharjah property market.

Diversification of Property Types

While residential properties dominate, the significant industrial property share (20.8%) shows healthy diversification in Sharjah Real Estate. This variety reduces vulnerability to sector-specific problems and gives investors different options.
