Strategic capital now drives 40% of Dubai’s real estate investment, replacing 2014’s speculation-led market
Dubai reached its previous market peak in September 2014. A decade later, prices have not only recovered but surpassed those...
Sharjah’s real estate market has sustained its upward trajectory in 2025, with annual rent and sales prices increasing across both apartments and villas. The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department recorded an increased transaction volume across 116 areas. A 75.8% hike in market activity was recorded in just the first six months of the year, reflecting a positive momentum from the beginning of the year.
The market growth has been supported by regulatory upgrades announced in December 2024. Together, the law updates have strengthened market transparency and defined responsibilities clearly for landlords, tenants, developers and investors.
Digital transformation has also progressed through the launch of Aqari, an integrated real estate services platform. Within six months of launch, Aqari completed 2,000+ digital transactions and has been adopted by 12 government service centres with 100% utilisation.
The government approved an AED 150M ring road project, alongside wider road and connectivity upgrades, strengthening day-to-day mobility and supporting the emirate’s long-term development plans.
