SHARJAH'S FREEHOLD PROPERTY MARKET ENTERS BOOM PHASE

More foreign investors are buying homes in the emirate - or waiting for options in Khalid Bin Sultan City

New homes at accessible pricing in well-designed residential communities launch them and get sold out instantly.

Sharjah’s property market has been creating more of these options in the first-half of 2025. And this is all going down well with investors.

The best part is that many of these property buyers are longtime residents in Sharjah and want to be the end-users when those homes are handed over. The opening of the emirate’s real estate market to all nationalities is showing up in the latest date.

The ‘high demand is attributed to several factors — the robust infrastructure, diverse real estate offerings, and the decision to allow non-Gulf and foreign nationals to own property in Sharjah’, said a statement from Sharjah real Estate Registration Department.

There was a near 40 per cent increase in the number of foreign investors — to total 6,662 — who bought real estate in Sharjah in the first six months of 2025 — and it’s going to go a lot higher in the coming months.

There are good reasons for that.
