According to the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, the Central and Eastern regions together produced Dh1.1 billion in real estate trade value over the first six months of 2026. The department’s report highlighted how government development initiatives and infrastructure upgrades have supported this distributed activity across multiple locations rather than concentrating deals in core urban zones. Officials tied the outcomes to an investment environment that has drawn both domestic and external participants seeking opportunities in these growing areas.
The department’s tally listed Kalba as the leading contributor at Dh513 million, equivalent to 45.5 percent of the regional total from 154 sales. Central region activity reached Dh398 million for a 35.3 percent share with 3,928 sales while Khor Fakkan followed with Dh190.9 million across 272 sales. Dibba Al-Hisn accounted for Dh25 million from 12 sales, according to the same department breakdown that placed the combined value near Dh1.1 billion.
Mortgage activity provided additional depth to the market, as the department registered 452 such transactions valued at Dh335 million in the four areas during the period. Kalba maintained the highest share with 239 mortgages, ahead of Khor Fakkan at 121, the Central region with 82 and Dibba Al-Hisn at 10. These financing arrangements point to buyer confidence in longer-term commitments within the Central and Eastern segments.
Omar Al-Mansouri, director of branches at the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, linked the transaction levels to ongoing urban expansion projects, improved connectivity and policies that foster investor engagement. The department has noted that such patterns help balance real estate activity and reduce pressure on any single district. Digital upgrades to registration procedures have also eased participation for a wider range of clients, Al-Mansouri indicated in the report.
The regional results form part of Sharjah’s broader real estate expansion, where the department recorded Dh29.5 billion in total transactions for the first half of 2026, a 9.3 percent increase from the year-earlier period. Transaction volume across the emirate rose 23.7 percent to 59,460 deals over the same six months, building on a first-quarter performance that reached Dh18.5 billion. Separate department updates showed April activity alone contributing Dh3.5 billion through 15,669 transactions while May added Dh3.1 billion from 7,119 deals.
Earlier department assessments for comparable periods in the Central and Eastern regions had shown similar upward trajectories, including a 57.6 percent value increase to Dh1.3 billion in one prior window. The authority tracks these indicators across its branch network to inform planning for sustained sector development. Such data continue to reflect Sharjah’s appeal as investors respond to the range of available projects and supporting infrastructure.
