Sharjah Strikes AED5.5bn Real Estate Milestone in May

Sharjah achieved a total real estate trading value of AED 5.5 billion during May 2025, recording 8,415 transactions across the emirate. The total area traded reached 13.2 million square feet, underlining the emirate's advancing market strength. Investors conducted 1,574 outright sales deals, accounting for roughly 18.7 per cent of activity, alongside 381 mortgage registrations totalling AED 1.1 billion—4.5 per cent of the transactions. Additionally, 1,486 initial sale contracts were signed, and 3,619 ownership certificates issued, followed by 1,355 ownership deeds, according to data. These metrics reflect growing confidence in long-term investment within Sharjah's legal framework. Sales operations covered 134 locations, including residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural properties. Land plots constituted 877 deals, tower units 395 and built-in land assets 302. Sharjah City led all zones with 1,426 sales, while Al-Metraq registered 354 transactions, topping overall volumes. Muwailih Commercial followed with 258, Tilal with 135, and Rodhat Al Qarat with 67. ADVERTISEMENT In absolute value terms, Muwailih Commercial led in trading value, generating AED 352.2 million, while Tilal recorded AED 263.2 million. Al-Sajaa Industrial investors transacted AED 140.9 million, and Al-Metraq AED 114.9 million. Suburban and northern districts also contributed notably. The Central Region logged 97 deals, with Industrial 1 leading in volume and Al-Blida highest in value at AED 13.8 million. Khor Fakkan saw 26 transactions; Al Harai Industrial led in activity, Hay Hayawa 4 in value. Kalba registered 24 deals, with Al-Tarif 5 accounting for seven sales and Al Soor 1 holding the highest value at AED 3.5 million. Sharjah's trend mirrors broader national momentum. UAE-wide real estate dealings across the five emirates reached AED 239 billion in the first quarter of 2025, with Sharjah alone recording AED 13.2 billion in Q1—up 31.9 per cent from the same period a year earlier. That figure encompassed nearly 24,600 transactions. Market observers attribute the upswing to enhanced regulations, expanding infrastructure and investor-friendly policies. The introduction of expanded foreign ownership and digital processing platforms has particularly encouraged participation from both domestic and international buyers. Sharjah's growing reputation as a smart-living hub—in developments such as Aljada and the forested Masaar and Masaar 2 communities by Arada—is also playing a key role. Aljada, covering 24 million square feet in Muwaileh, and Masaar, with over 1,500 completed smart homes, exemplify the emirate's emphasis on integrated, sustainable neighbourhoods. Arada's newer masterplans also signal ongoing demand for eco-friendly and lifestyle-led residential projects. Abu Dhabi and Dubai continue to lead the national landscape. In Q1, Dubai accounted for AED 193 billion in property transactions, followed by Abu Dhabi at AED 25.3 billion. Yet Sharjah's accelerated growth—near double-digit gains in both value and volumes—shows it emerging as a significant real estate contender. Analysts anticipate momentum to continue. Infrastructure expansion, including roads and metro-linked projects, and investment in tourism and cultural sectors, are expected to sustain demand. Moreover, growing appetite among buyers for mid-range housing and integrated communities supports depth in the market. Mortgage trends also underline confidence. With over AED 1 billion in mortgage transactions in May, financial institutions seem increasingly willing to underwrite purchases, while buyers appear optimistic about long-term value.
