The Sharjah property market registered robust activity in May 2026, with total transactions reaching AED 3.1 billion across 7,119 recorded deals and roughly 9.5 million square feet of property changing hands. Data released by the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department on June 5, 2026, shows strong movement across residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Sales, mortgages and certification transactions together underpinned a diverse month of trading across the emirate.
Transaction totals and traded area
Sales and related transactions reached AED 3.1 billion in May, with the cumulative area of sold properties estimated at about 9.5 million square feet. A total of 7,119 transactions were logged, reflecting activity across urban and industrial locations. The breadth of traded space points to continued appetite for land and built assets in Sharjah.
Breakdown by transaction type
Transactions for property status certificates accounted for 2,902 deals, or 40.8% of the month’s volume, making them the largest single category. Title deed transactions numbered 2,776, representing 39% of activity, while mortgage registrations totaled 718 deals, or 10.1% of the total. Preliminary sale contracts reached 513 transactions (7.2%), and valuation transactions were 210 (2.9%).
Mortgage values and major secured deals
Mortgage activity in May carried a combined value of AED 934.7 million, highlighting sustained financing activity in the emirate’s market. Lenders continued to register high-value facilities, including a prominent mortgage on vacant land in Al Mamzar valued at AED 80 million. The scale of mortgage registrations suggests banks and financial institutions remain active in supporting property purchases and development financing.
Types of properties exchanged
Among the traded assets, 913 were vacant plots, reflecting continuing investor interest in land acquisition and development potential. Transactions also included 683 subdivided units and 255 built plots, spanning residential and commercial uses. The mix of land and built units indicates balanced demand across speculative land buying and immediate occupation or investment in completed assets.
Largest single deals and area highlights
The largest transaction recorded in Sharjah during May was a vacant plot sold in Al Saja’a Industrial area for AED 92 million, underlining the industrial zone’s appeal to major investors and developers. In the same month, a significant mortgage on vacant land in Al Mamzar reached AED 80 million, marking one of the highest secured deals. These high-value transactions were among several notable purchases concentrated in strategic development corridors.
Sales distribution across the emirate
Total sale transactions reached 1,851 in May, of which 1,315 occurred within the city of Sharjah. Commercial Muweilah (Tijaria Muweilah) led sales by area with 328 transactions, followed by Al Khan with 218 deals. Rawdat Al Sadr recorded 158 sales, and Muzaira’a reported 59 transactions, illustrating a spread of activity from established urban neighborhoods to emerging commercial districts. In total, sales were recorded across 115 areas in the emirate.
The May figures reflect a market combining speculative land purchases with continued interest in subdivided and ready units, supported by active mortgage financing. Observers say the diversity of transactions — from certificate and title registrations to high-value land deals — points to ongoing investor confidence in Sharjah’s development trajectory.
