This clearly reflects the vital role women play in this important economic sector.”

Regarding the reasons behind this exceptional growth, Al-Shamsi explained that the real estate sector in the Emirate continues to receive unwavering support from His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, may God protect him, along with the continuous follow-up of His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Muhammad Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and Chairman of the Executive Council. This support has been clearly reflected in the positive results being achieved.

He pointed to several developments and procedures that are helping to advance the real estate sector and enhance its outcomes. He noted that the continued growth in real estate transactions reflects investor confidence in the Emirate’s property market, as well as their commitment to owning and investing in Sharjah. He also highlighted the increasing demand across all types of transactions, stressing that these positive results in Sharjah’s real estate sector signal further growth in the future.

Al-Shamsi emphasized that the exceptional performance of the real estate sector in Sharjah during the first seven months of 2025 reflects the market’s vitality and ongoing

development. He added: “Market indicators show strong and significant growth in various areas, with Sharjah’s real estate sector recording transactions worth Dhs34.5 billion in the first seven months of 2025, marking a major leap compared to the same period last year.”

The total value of real estate transactions in Sharjah’s Central and Eastern Regions during the first half of 2025 has reached Dhs1.6 billion, reflecting a significant increase of 143 per cent compared to the same period in 2024, according to the Real Estate Transactions Report issued by Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department.

In addition, the report indicated that a total of 12,346 transactions were registered through the department’s branches, with a total area of sales transactions amounted to 22 million square feet.

Omar Al-Mansouri, Director of the Branches Department at Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, stated: “The exceptional growth in real estate transactions across the Central and Eastern Regions during the first half of 2025 indicates increasing investor confidence in the real estate market throughout the cities and areas of Sharjah. This performance is driven by several integrated factors, most notably the ongoing development of vital infrastructure projects, well-planned urban expansion, and the investment incentives launched by the Sharjah Government to promote property ownership across the emirate.”

Al-Mansouri added: “We have observed a strong increase in demand for property ownership in real estate projects in the Central and Eastern regions. This growth is the result of continued improvements in living standards and the rollout of smart services, along with the peaceful environments that these cities offer. For instance, the Central Region alone recorded real estate transactions exceeding Dhs 1 billion, indicating a gradual shift in investment trends toward these high-potential areas.

In detail, Al-Mansouri explained that the total transaction value recorded at the four branches represented 5.8% of Sharjah’s overall real estate trading value during the first half of 2025. The Central Region accounted for Dhs1.1 billion in transactions, equivalent to 4.2% of the emirate’s total trading value. Khorfakkan followed with Dhs 294.8 million (1.1%), Kalba with Dhs117.9 million (0.4%), and Dibba Al-Hisn with Dhs11 million (0.1%).
