Apartment prices in Sharjah average AED 5,800 per square metre across the 4 areas covered here, up 6.0 per cent over the year, with annual rent averaging AED 500 per square metre. That city average conceals more than it shows: Al Nahda (Sharjah) sits at the bottom of the range and Al Khan at the top, a spread of roughly 1.4 times for the same unit type, which is why an area figure is the only usable one for a purchase decision. Gross rental yields run from 7.5 to 9.0 per cent, and they move inversely to price: the cheapest areas yield most, because rents compress less than capital values. 2 of the 4 areas are freehold, which for a foreign buyer in United Arab Emirates is the condition that comes before any price comparison. Figures are the June 2026 snapshot and are stated per square metre rather than per unit.

About Sharjah Real Estate

Sharjah is a key property market in United Arab Emirates, offering a range of residential and commercial real estate opportunities.

How to read the Sharjah table

The figures above run from 7,000 per square metre in Al Khan down to 5,000 in Al Nahda (Sharjah), and the first thing to do with that range is to stop using the average. No property is available at the city mean; every property is available in one of these areas, and the step between two adjacent rows is the comparison a buyer can act on. The table mixes waterfront, suburban and residential areas, and a price per square metre only transfers between areas of the same type, so rows should be compared within a type before across it. 2 of the 4 areas are freehold, which for a foreign buyer decides which rows are even available: a leasehold row at an attractive price is not a cheaper version of a freehold one. Yields move against prices down the table, as they do in most urban markets, so the cheapest rows show the best gross return and the trade being made there is tenant depth and resale liquidity. Each figure carries the date it was collected, and the sources behind it are named on the area page it links to.

Sharjah: frequently asked questions

What is the average property price in Sharjah?

Across the neighbourhoods we track, property in Sharjah averages about AED 5 800 (~€1 450) per square metre in 2026, which puts a 90 square metre apartment near AED 522 000 (~€130 500). The spread between the cheapest and the most expensive district is wide, so the city average is a starting point rather than a budget.

Which areas of Sharjah offer the best rental yield?

The table above ranks every district by gross yield, and the pattern is consistent across Gulf cities: mid-priced residential areas outperform prime waterfront districts, because rents there rise roughly in line with the market while purchase prices carry a premium for capital growth. Expect one to two percentage points of difference between the two ends of the ranking.

Is it a good time to buy in Sharjah?

Prices in Sharjah have moved by 6.0% over the last twelve months. Timing a Gulf market on a single year is unreliable: handover waves and off-plan launches distort short-run averages. The more useful questions are how long you intend to hold, and whether the rent covers the service charges and financing in the meantime.

How much rent do properties in Sharjah achieve?

Asking rents average around AED 500 (~€125) per square metre per year across the districts we cover, which is roughly AED 3 750 (~€938) a month for a 90 square metre apartment. Furnished units and short-term lets command more, at the cost of higher turnover and management time.

What costs come on top of the purchase price in Sharjah?

Budget five to seven per cent of the price for transaction costs: land department or registration fees, agency commission of about two per cent, trustee and conveyancing charges, and mortgage arrangement fees where financing is used. Annual service charges then apply per square metre, and they vary enormously between an older tower and a recent development with extensive amenities.
