The real estate market in Sharjah saw a record-breaking performance in August 2025, with the industry earning a total of AED 4 billion, a 75.8% increase from August 2024. This trend also highlights the growing significance of the Emirati city as a dynamic and integrated real estate investment destination for buyers, driven largely by the trust shown by both foreign and domestic players in the Emirate’s investor-friendly policies, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and strategic development initiatives.
The “Real Estate Transactions Report” published by the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department stated that 9,379 transactions, totalling 12 million square feet, were completed in August 2025. Sales transactions reached 1,427, accounting for 15.2% of the total.
Additionally, 497 mortgage transactions were registered, making up 5.3% of the total, with a combined value of AED 1.4 billion. This reflects the continued trust of financial institutions and investors in the market, and their readiness to engage in real estate financing.
Furthermore, 1,257 preliminary contracts were recorded, representing 13.4% of the total transactions. Property ownership certificates reached 3,066, comprising 32.7%, indicating strong interest from investors in monitoring the legal status of properties.

Sharjah’s property market is currently undergoing a period of strong growth, positioning the Emirati city as one of the most prominent investment destinations in the Gulf region. This success can easily be attributed to the strategic vision of the local administration, which has laid out a clear roadmap for sustainable urban development, while also creating a compelling investment environment built on transparency and adaptive legislation that caters to the needs of investors and developers.
“This continued growth also reflects the high level of trust in Sharjah’s real estate market, which is characterised by a diverse portfolio of projects distributed across various regions. These developments provide comprehensive solutions for housing, business, and investment. Furthermore, the integration of advanced infrastructure and major service projects has contributed to the overall enhancement of quality of life in the Emirate, further reinforcing its status as a preferred destination for investors globally. Looking to the future, the Emirate offers even more promising opportunities as work continues on innovative development projects and initiatives that support economic and environmental sustainability. Sharjah is confidently moving toward further consolidating its leadership in the real estate sector and contributing to the growth of the national economy by providing a balanced investment environment that ensures long-term stability and attractive returns for investors,” noted the Emirates News Agency.
