A newly released report from the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department has highlighted the strong growth in real estate transactions across the “Central and Eastern” regions of Sharjah. According to the report, the cash trading volume in these areas reached AED 1.3 billion during the first nine months of 2024, marking an impressive 57.6 percent increase compared to the same period last year.

The total number of real estate transactions in the department’s branches amounted to 22,059, covering a vast area of 37 million square feet. This surge in activity is attributed to a combination of factors, including ongoing government investment in infrastructure and legislative support, which has created a favorable environment for investors.

Omar Al Mansouri, Director of the Branches Department at the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, emphasized the role of the Sharjah Government’s efforts in developing infrastructure and legislation, which have been key to boosting the real estate sector in the emirate. “The real estate sector in the Central and Eastern regions has reached new record levels. The government’s continued attention to development has provided robust support to investors, significantly strengthening the sector across all cities and regions of Sharjah,” said Al Mansouri.

He further noted that the launch of numerous real estate and tourism projects in the region, including road development, hotels, and resorts, alongside improvements in infrastructure, has made these areas increasingly attractive to both local and international investors. This has, in turn, contributed to the marked growth in the real estate market in these regions.

Al Mansouri also provided a breakdown of the trading volumes across Sharjah’s four branches, revealing that transactions in the Central and Eastern regions represented 4.7 percent of the emirate's total trading volume. In terms of cash volume, the Central region accounted for AED 810.3 million (2.9 percent of total transactions), Khorfakkan city contributed AED 262.4 million (0.9 percent), Kalba city had AED 234.6 million (0.8 percent), and Dibba Al Hisn recorded AED 15.5 million (0.1 percent).
