Sharjah real estate transactions reach $1.25bn during Ramadan 2026

Sharjah, UAE: Sharjah’s real estate sector recorded strong performance during Ramadan 2026, with total transactions reaching $1.25 billion (AED4.6 billion), reflecting a significant 71.8% increase compared to $735 million (AED2.7 billion) during the same period in 2025.

The robust growth highlights sustained market momentum, driven by rising demand across a broad range of property segments and reinforced by the emirate’s growing reputation as a secure and attractive investment destination.

A total of 7,299 real estate transactions were recorded during the period, representing a 45.3% increase compared to 5,023 transactions during Ramadan 2025. The figures underline Sharjah’s continued emergence as one of the UAE’s most dynamic real estate markets, supported by a stable regulatory environment, high-quality developments and integrated infrastructure.

According to data from the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, transaction activity was distributed across several categories, including 3,596 ownership certificates, 2,464 title deeds, 969 initial sales contracts and 270 mortgage transactions. This diversified activity reflects a balanced and resilient market structure spanning sales, registration and financing segments.

Sales activity remains a key driver

Sales transactions remained a central contributor to overall market performance, with 2,093 deals recorded, marking a 26.7% increase compared to 1,652 transactions during Ramadan 2025.

The increase in sales activity has been driven by heightened demand for both residential and investment properties, supported by the launch of new developments offering integrated amenities, competitive rental yields and a wide range of investment options.

Of the total sales, 1,121 were final transactions, 952 were initial sales contracts and 20 were usufruct sales, indicating sustained activity across both off-plan and completed property markets.

Strategic vision supporting long-term growth

Abdulaziz Ahmed Al-Shamsi, Director-General of the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, said:

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 long-term investment appeal.

The latest performance reinforces Sharjah’s growing standing as a leading regional real estate hub, supported by consistent policy frameworks, infrastructure investment and a diversified development pipeline.

As demand continues to rise across residential and investment segments, the emirate is increasingly positioning itself as a competitive and resilient destination for both local and international investors.
