The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department has reported a significant surge in property activity in the Central and Eastern regions of the emirate, with trading values hitting AED861.6 million in the first quarter of 2025—a 159.2% increase compared to the same period last year.
According to the department’s Q1 report, a total of 6,493 real estate transactions were recorded across its regional branches. Of these, 308 were sales transactions covering 11.3 million square feet, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 11.9%.
Omar Al-Mansouri, Director of the Branches Department, attributed the growth to Sharjah’s strategic infrastructure and development initiatives. “The real estate in the Central and Eastern regions has achieved remarkable growth and rapid prosperity in recent years, which is due to several strategic factors established by the Sharjah government as part of its comprehensive development vision,” he said. “The advanced infrastructure projects, the development of road networks, and the expansion of governmental and digital services have contributed to attracting investors and enhancing customers’ confidence in these promising areas.”
He further highlighted that government incentives, legislative reforms, and a supportive investment climate have stimulated demand for property in cities like Khor Fakkan, Kalba, Al-Dhaid, and Dibba Al-Hisn. “We are witnessing an increasing demand from citizens and residents for real estate ownership in cities like Khor Fakkan, Kalba, Al-Dhaid, and Dibba Al-Hisn, due to their high quality of life, picturesque landscapes, and proximity to major centers,” Al-Mansouri noted.
The department expects this momentum to continue. “We expect the real estate growth pace in these two regions to continue, supported by ambitious development plans in line with Sharjah’s future vision,” Al-Mansouri added. “We, at the Real Estate Registration Department, remain committed to supporting this trend by providing flexible and smart services that facilitate procedures and expedite real estate transactions for investors, developers, and citizens alike.”
In terms of branch-specific figures, the Central Region recorded AED621.4 million in trading value, followed by Khor Fakkan with AED178.8 million, Kalba with AED57.7 million, and Dibba Al-Hisn with AED3.7 million. Together, these branches accounted for 6.6% of Sharjah’s total real estate trading value in Q1.
Mortgage activity also remained strong, with 118 mortgage transactions worth AED84.8 million. Kalba led with 47 mortgage deals, followed by the Central Region with 40, Khor Fakkan with 28, and Dibba Al-Hisn with 3.
Additionally, 355 initial sales contracts were recorded in the Central and Eastern regions during the first quarter, valued at AED504.3 million. Of these, 312 were completed in the Central Region and 43 in Khor Fakkan.
