Real estate transactions in the Emirate of Sharjah recorded remarkable growth in January 2026, reaching a total value of AED 9.3 billion, marking a 34.8% increase compared to AED 7 billion during the same month last year.
An official statement issued by the Government of the Emirate confirmed that the real estate sector completed 10,330 transactions across various areas. The total traded area of properties sold during the month reached approximately 23.8 million square feet.
Activity was concentrated in 4,868 sales transactions spanning 129 different areas. These transactions included a diverse range of property types, such as residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural land.
The “Muweilah Commercial” area emerged as the most active in terms of both the number and value of sales transactions. This performance was driven by strong demand from local and international investors, supported by a favorable investment environment, modern infrastructure projects, and the economic stability currently experienced by the emirate.
In terms of traded property types, residential apartments accounted for the largest share of transactions, followed by vacant land. This highlights the continued strong demand for ready-to-move-in housing units as well as new development projects across Sharjah.
