With 8,415 transactions in different parts of the emirate and a total trade value of AED5.5 billion, the Emirate of Sharjah’s real estate market saw impressive growth in May 2025.
The emirate’s real estate industry is still strong and strategically developing, as seen by the 13.2 million square feet of total traded area of sales transactions.
Sharjah’s real estate market is going through a significant transition, clearly moving away from conventional growth trends and toward a more sophisticated, varied, and sustainable stage. The expanding diversity of real estate uses entering the market and the growing range of investors are reflections of this change. This shift is supported by the sector’s increasing maturity, which has been fueled by a number of important enablers, chief among them the government’s proactive goal of improving the business climate and the enactment of adaptable, investor-friendly laws.
These changes are intended to stay up with the ever-changing demands of the market while providing local and foreign players with robust legal guarantees and confidence.
The real estate market has also changed in a more thorough and varied way as a result of balanced urban growth and large-scale development initiatives being carried out throughout the emirate. With the help of contemporary infrastructure and potential regions that are attracting more and more attention from developers and investors, this trend has produced new investment prospects.
With 8,415 sales registered around the emirate in May 2025, statistics show that Sharjah’s real estate market is gaining traction. An obvious sign of the rising demand for real estate is the fact that 1,574 of these transactions were sales, making up 18.7% of the total.
Simultaneously, mortgage activity continued to be robust, with 381 mortgage deals totaling over AED1.1 billion in value, or 4.5% of all transactions. This degree of financing activity shows how financial institutions and investors alike are becoming more confident in Sharjah’s real estate market.
1,486 transactions under the first sales contract made up 17.7% of all real estate transactions, while 3,619 transactions under the ownership certificate made up 43%. In addition, 1,355 ownership deeds, or 16.1% of all transactions, were granted in May. This demonstrates the consistent rate of property transactions and ownership registration, enhancing the emirate’s standing as a transparent, law-abiding, and well-regulated real estate market.
