Sharjah Real Estate Hits $12.1bn by 2025 as Transactions Surge 58% and New Starts
The Sharjah Real Estate Market has achieved its strongest performance on record, with total transactions reaching AED44.3bn ($12.1bn) in the first nine months of 2024, according to Savill Spotle in the Sharjah market – November 2025.
The report highlights how growing investor confidence, strong developer activity, and a growing base of international buyers have strengthened the emirate’s market.
Sharjah is emerging from a community market driven by a lifestyle defined by sustainability, value, and long-term appeal.
Sharjah’s foreign investment reaches $1.5bn
The Emirate is attracting 1.5 billion dollars in Direct Investment (FDI) across 74 projects in the first half of 2025 – the highest among the northern Emirates – strengthening its role as a regional hub.
Investors from 121 nationalities entered the market this year, led by UAE Nationals, South Asian, European, and GCC Arab buyers. Sharjah’s expanding infrastructure and connectivity continues to fuel this growth, with Sharjah International Airport to welcome 9.1m passengers in the first half of 2025, up 10 cents year-on-year.
The expansion of the airport, due to 2027, will add 25 million passengers.
The developers said they have submitted 12,361 freehold units as the Villa’s resale market
Major developers – including ARADA, Alef Group, and IFA hotels and hotels – resorts – presented 12,361 units for free by 2025, supported by competitive prices and flexible payment plans.
ARADA alone records sales growth exceeding 20 percent in H1 2025, underscoring the limited demand from both end users and investors.
Villas and bottles continue to dominate market activity. Masaar 2 by Arada sold out on launch day, while Al Tay Hills by IFA reached 80 percent sales within a week.
Prime Villa prices now range between AED2.2M ($599,000) and AED6.5M ($1.77m), with leading developments including Masaar, Al Zahia, and NASMA residences.
The new wave going on
The Emirate’s Real Estate Estate Vaciationscapes are diverse, with new additions to creative entryways and benchtops. Beah Group’s Khalid Bin Sultan City, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, will be the UAE’s first master-planned community in the Sharjah Al Sidr District, setting new standards for sustainable urban living.
At the same time, the government’s digital platform Aqari – combining more than 20 real estate processes into one portal – improves clarity and efficiency, cutting lease certification and title registration times significantly.
Sharjah is one of the most dynamic markets
Andrew Cummings, head of residential – Savill Middle East, said: “Rarjah has transformed into one of the UAE’s most dynamic and attractive markets for high-end freehold projects.
“We are seeing an increasing number of end users choosing to stay in Sharjah rather than travel, and that behavioral change defines the next phase of its growth.
“Looking forward, looking for needs from residents and investors, coupled with innovative masterplans and good management, will continue to position Sharjah as a compelling and competitive destination in the UAE residential area.”
Market perspective
Savills expects the residential market in Sharjah to continue to strengthen for the rest of 2025, supported by its relative availability to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and the investment of major infrastructure.
Areas east of Emirates Road (E611) are experiencing an influx of first-time buyers and price-sensitive investors, while integrated communities offering green spaces and lifestyles continue to emerge.
Developers who prioritize sustainability, lifestyle integration, and community building are expected to lead Sharjah’s next phase of growth.
