The Sharjah real estate market maintained strong momentum in April 2025, with total transactions reaching AED 3.97 billion (around $1.08 billion). This performance reflects growing investor confidence and solid demand across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors in the emirate.
The figures were released by the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department (SRERD) and continue a pattern of consistent growth that has defined Sharjah’s property landscape in recent months.
Sharjah’s Real Estate Sector Maintains Upward Trend
According to SRERD’s latest report, the Sharjah real estate market recorded more than 2,500 transactions across 103 different areas of the emirate. This indicates a healthy level of diversity and activity across Sharjah’s key property zones.
The transaction volume for April increased not only in value but also in the number of deals completed, showing that both investors and homeowners remain active in the market. It also reflects Sharjah’s growing appeal as a more affordable and accessible alternative to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Key Transaction Types Driving Growth
The department reported various transaction categories:
- Sales Transactions: Over 780 deals, totaling AED 1.2 billion
- Mortgage Transactions: Worth AED 842.1 million
- Other Transactions: Ranging from property transfers to leasehold arrangements
This breakdown confirms a balanced real estate ecosystem where not only direct purchases are thriving, but mortgage-backed deals are also on the rise—suggesting strong financial trust in long-term property investments.
Residential Sector Leads the Charge
Residential properties made up the largest portion of sales, followed by commercial and industrial spaces. This aligns with Sharjah’s status as a family-friendly and community-focused emirate, offering affordable housing options and lifestyle amenities.
Areas like Al Khan, Al Majaz, and Muwaileh Commercical were among the most active in terms of transactions. These neighborhoods are known for a mix of high-rise apartments, townhouses, and proximity to schools and businesses.
Sharjah’s Freehold Opportunities Attract International Buyers
One reason for the continued growth in the Sharjah real estate market is the availability of freehold properties for expatriates. Since the launch of freehold zones in 2014, foreign buyers have steadily increased.
Popular freehold areas such as Tilal City, Aljada, and Sharjah Waterfront City continue to attract overseas investors looking for long-term returns and lifestyle properties in the UAE.
Industrial and Commercial Investments Rising
Beyond the residential sector, Sharjah has also seen increased demand for commercial and industrial real estate. These include warehouses, plots for construction, and retail spaces.
Sharjah’s strategic location between Dubai and the Northern Emirates makes it ideal for logistics, storage, and manufacturing businesses. This explains the rise in industrial land deals and property upgrades in areas like Al Sajaa Industrial and Emirates Industrial City.
Mortgage Activity Signals Financial Stability
The AED 842.1 million in mortgage transactions reported by SRERD reflects strong collaboration between property buyers and local banks. Mortgage deals are often seen as a reliable sign of economic trust and credit health.
This indicates that property financing remains accessible and that investors are willing to commit to long-term property holdings, further fueling the real estate engine in the emirate.
Why Sharjah Remains Attractive to Investors
Several factors make the Sharjah real estate market particularly appealing in 2025:
- Lower property prices compared to Dubai and Abu Dhabi
- Family-friendly communities with cultural and lifestyle benefits
- Strong legal framework and transparent registration system
- Freehold property availability for expats
- Strategic location for business owners and logistics operations
The emirate is also home to respected educational institutions, medical facilities, and ongoing infrastructure development, which further boosts investor confidence.
Looking Ahead: Continued Growth Expected
Experts predict the Sharjah real estate market will continue to perform strongly throughout the remainder of 2025. Government initiatives to expand urban infrastructure, attract foreign investors, and support smart city developments are likely to boost future real estate activity.
The government’s efforts to digitalize property registration and improve service efficiency have also made the investment process smoother and more reliable.
Conclusion: Sharjah Property Sector on the Rise
With April 2025’s $1.08 billion in transactions, Sharjah has once again proven that its real estate sector is not only growing—but thriving. As more investors, homeowners, and developers take notice, the emirate is quickly becoming one of the UAE’s most dynamic property markets.
For both end-users and long-term investors, Sharjah offers a balanced mix of affordability, accessibility, and future growth potential.
