SHARJAH- Real estate transactions in Sharjah’s Central and Eastern Regions reached about AED 1.1 billion ($300 million) in the first six months of 2026, underlining rising investor interest as development expands beyond the emirate’s main urban centre, according to official data.
The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department said 16,310 real estate transactions were executed through its branches during the January-June period, while sales covered a combined area of about 37 million square feet.
The figures reflect growing demand in secondary markets as the Sharjah government continues to invest in infrastructure, urban development and digital public services to support long-term economic growth.
“The Central and Eastern Regions have become an integral part of Sharjah’s real estate landscape, successfully attracting growing interest from investors during the first half of 2026,” Omar Al-Mansouri, Director of the Branches Department at the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, said in a statement to the Gulf Daily Mail.
He said investment activity was expanding beyond traditional locations as new cities and districts gained momentum, supported by improved infrastructure, streamlined services and digital transformation.
Kalba accounted for the largest share of real estate trade, recording AED 513 million in transactions, or 45.5% of the total value handled by the department’s branches outside Sharjah city. The Central Region followed with AED 398 million, representing 35.3%, while Khor Fakkan recorded AED 191 million, or 16.9%. Dibba Al-Hisn registered AED 25 million, accounting for 2.3% of the total.
The Central Region also led in sales activity with 3,928 transactions during the six months. Khor Fakkan recorded 272 sales, followed by Kalba with 154 and Dibba Al-Hisn with 12.
Mortgage activity remained steady, with 452 mortgage transactions worth AED 335 million completed across the Central and Eastern Regions during the first half.
Kalba recorded the highest number of mortgage transactions at 239, followed by Khor Fakkan with 121, the Central Region with 82 and Dibba Al-Hisn with 10.
The department said the performance highlighted the growing role of Sharjah’s Central and Eastern Regions as emerging destinations for sustainable real estate investment, supported by continued government-led development and expanding investment opportunities.
