Sharjah real estate transactions reach Dhs4.6b during Ramadan

Sharjah’s real estate sector delivered outstanding results during Ramadan 2026, with total transaction value reaching Dhs4.6 billion, marking a significant 71.8% increase compared to Dhs2.7 billion recorded during Ramadan 2025. This strong performance highlights sustained market momentum, driven by rising demand across diverse property segments and reinforced by the emirate’s position as a secure and attractive investment destination.

This growth underscores Sharjah’s continued emergence as one of the UAE’s most dynamic real estate markets, supported by a robust regulatory framework, high-quality developments, and integrated infrastructure that collectively enable long-term and sustainable growth. A total of 7,299 real estate transactions were recorded, reflecting a notable 45.3% increase compared to 5,023 transactions during last year’s Ramadan.

According to data from the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, transaction activity was distributed across multiple categories, including 3,596 ownership certificates, 2,464 title deeds, 969 initial sales contracts, and 270 mortgage transactions. This distribution highlights the market’s diversity, spanning sales, registration, and financing activities, and reinforces its balanced and resilient structure.

Sales activity demonstrated strong performance throughout Ramadan, with 2,093 transactions recorded, representing a 26.7 per cent increase compared to 1,652 transactions during the same period in 2025. This growth is primarily driven by heightened demand for both residential and investment properties, supported by the launch of new projects featuring integrated amenities, attractive rental yields, and a wide range of options tailored to investor preferences.

Sales transactions comprised 1,121 final sales, 952 initial sales contracts, and 20 usufruct sales transactions, reflecting sustained activity in both off-plan developments and completed property markets.

Abdulaziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, stated: “The growth observed in the real estate sector during Ramadan 2026 reflects the strength and resilience of the market, underpinned by a long-term strategic vision focused on building a comprehensive and sustainable real estate ecosystem. This approach is driven by legislative stability, balanced urban development, and the introduction of diversified real estate projects designed to meet the evolving needs of investors and residents alike.”

Al-Shamsi added: “The diversity of developmental projects, coupled with ongoing infrastructure enhancements and the availability of flexible real estate financing solutions, has played a key role in driving increased sales activity and rising demand across property segments, further strengthening investor confidence in Sharjah’s real estate market.”

He further emphasised that Sharjah continues to advance steadily toward establishing a sustainable real estate model, guided by an integrated vision that prioritises quality of life and investment appeal. This consistent growth path reinforces the emirate’s position as a leading regional and global destination for real estate investment.

The Sharjah real estate sector recorded strong performance during the first two weeks of March, maintaining its momentum as transactions reached approximately Dhs2.3 billion across 3,556 real estate deals, reflecting the market’s resilience and continued investors’ confidence in the emirate’s real estate sector.

According to data issued by the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, a total of 822 sales transactions were recorded during the same period, reflecting the market’s vitality and the continued demand for real estate investment across the emirate.

This activity comes amidst ongoing demand for real estate assets in Sharjah, supported by the emirate’s strategic location, advanced infrastructure, and attractive investment environment for various investor categories. This further solidify Sharjah’s position as a promising real estate destination in the region. In this context, Abdul Aziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, affirmed that the real estate sector in the emirate is experiencing continuous growth, noting that the department continues to provide its services to investors and clients with high efficiency.

Al-Shamsi added that this growth in the emirate’s real estate sector is part of a strategy led by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, with support and follow up of His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Muhammad Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and Chairman of the Executive Council.

This strategy aims to establish a sustainable real estate market that supports the comprehensive development process.
