Sharjah sits right next to Dubai and houses a large share of the people who work there, which makes it one of the UAE's busiest rental markets. This report breaks down **Sharjah property prices, rents and price trends in 2026** by community and unit size, using **53,100 live Property Finder listings** (25,504 for sale and 27,544 for rent) as of 29 October 2026.

For the interactive version, see [Sharjah market data](/market-data/sharjah). Companion reports cover [Ajman](/blog/ajman-property-market-2026), [Abu Dhabi](/blog/abu-dhabi-property-market-2026) and [Dubai rents](/blog/dubai-rental-market-report-2025), with a monthly [Dubai rent report](/reports).

## Headline findings

- **Sharjah is a rental market first.** It has more homes listed for rent (27,544) than for sale (25,504), unlike Ajman, where sale listings outnumber rentals two to one.
- **Apartments:** median asking price **AED 890,000** (about **AED 803 per sq ft**) and median asking rent **AED 45,000 a year**, an indicative gross yield of about **5.1%**.
- **Villas and townhouses are the premium tier:** median asking prices of **AED 4.0M** for villas and **AED 2.35M** for townhouses.
- **Off-plan is big:** about **29% of sale listings** are off-plan, and there are 66 active new projects, most of them by ARADA and Alef Group.
- **Asking rents are being trimmed.** Since 8 September 2026, about **two in three rent changes were cuts** (median −5.9%), although most listings have not changed price at all.

## Apartment prices and rents by bedroom

| Unit | Median asking rent (AED/yr) | Median asking price (AED) | Price per sq ft (AED) |
|------|----------------------------:|--------------------------:|----------------------:|
| Studio | 29,990 | 450,000 | 1,072 |
| 1 bed | 39,999 | 700,000 | 914 |
| 2 bed | 53,000 | 990,000 | 775 |
| 3 bed | 80,000 | 1,210,000 | 641 |
| 4 bed | 115,000 | 2,800,000 | 825 |

A typical one-bedroom apartment in Sharjah is listed at about **AED 40,000 a year**, roughly 60% of the median 1-bed new-lease rent in Dubai, which helps explain why so much of Sharjah's stock is rental.

## Prices, rents and yields by community

Apartment medians for communities with deep sale *and* rent inventory (at least 30 listings each). Gross yield is the median asking rent divided by the median asking price in the same community.

| Community | Median apartment rent (AED/yr) | Median apartment price (AED) | Price per sq ft (AED) | Gross yield |
|-----------|-------------------------------:|-----------------------------:|----------------------:|------------:|
| Al Mamzar | 64,999 | 1,384,284 | 888 | ~4.7% |
| Al Khan | 60,000 | 1,110,260 | 866 | ~5.4% |
| Aljada | 57,999 | 850,000 | 821 | ~6.8% |
| Sharjah Waterfront City | 45,000 | 850,000 | 875 | ~5.3% |
| Al Majaz | 55,000 | 849,555 | 488 | ~6.5% |
| Muwaileh Commercial | 41,999 | 800,000 | 829 | ~5.2% |
| Al Qasba | 52,777 | 780,555 | 628 | ~6.8% |
| Al Nahda | 41,999 | 705,000 | 562 | ~6.0% |
| Al Taawun | 46,983 | 695,000 | 516 | ~6.8% |
| Muwaileh | 35,000 | 659,999 | 854 | ~5.3% |
| Al Qasimia | 35,000 | 500,000 | 442 | ~7.0% |

What the data shows:

- **The waterfront commands the highest prices.** Al Mamzar and Al Khan, on the lagoons near the Dubai border, have the highest median apartment prices and the lowest yields.
- **Aljada is the market's centre of gravity.** It is the most active apartment community, with about 3,000 apartments for sale and 3,000 for rent, and an indicative yield near 6.8%.
- **Older central districts trade at a discount per sq ft.** Al Majaz, Al Taawun and Al Qasimia list well below AED 600 per sq ft, against more than AED 800 in newer master-planned areas such as Aljada and Muwaileh, and show some of the higher indicative yields.

These are directional figures: each community's medians reflect a different mix of unit sizes, and asking prices are not achieved prices.

The busiest rental areas by apartment listings are **Muwaileh** (about 3,300), **Aljada** (3,000), **Al Majaz** (2,900), **Al Khan** (2,000), **Al Nahda** (1,700) and **Al Taawun** (1,600). Al Sharq is the cheapest large rental district, at a median asking rent of about AED 26,000 a year.

## Villas and townhouses

| Community | Median villa/townhouse price (AED) | Median villa/townhouse rent (AED/yr) | Villas & townhouses for sale |
|-----------|-----------------------------------:|-------------------------------------:|-----------------------------:|
| Tilal City | 2,950,000 | 170,000 | 4,233 |
| Um Fanain | 2,595,000 | — | 1,340 |
| Muwaileh Commercial | 2,490,000 | 182,500 | 673 |
| Al Ruwaidat Suburb | 2,950,000 | — | 660 |
| Sharjah Garden City | 3,950,000 | 185,000 | 642 |
| Sharjah Sustainable City | 2,695,000 | 140,000 | 591 |
| Sharjah Waterfront City | 4,000,000 | 165,000 | 553 |
| Al Badie | 3,270,000 | 150,000 | 404 |
| Aljada | 2,120,000 | 154,990 | 283 |

Tilal City has the deepest villa inventory in Sharjah by a wide margin. Indicative villa yields are lower than for apartments, typically around 4–6% where both sale and rent listings are deep (Tilal City ~5.8%, Al Badie ~4.6%). More detail: [Sharjah villas](/market-data/sharjah/villas) and [Sharjah apartments](/market-data/sharjah/apartments).

## Off-plan and new projects

- **About 29% of Sharjah sale listings are off-plan** (7,282 of 25,504), a higher share than in Ajman (18%).
- **66 active new projects** from 18 developers. ARADA (20 projects) and Alef Group (19) account for most of them.
- Off-plan is most concentrated in **Hayyan** (82% of its sale listings), **Muwaileh** (25%), **Aljada** (19%) and **Tilal City** (18%).

## Sharjah price trends: up or down?

We have tracked every listing's asking price daily since 8 September 2026. Over that period:

- **Rentals:** 911 live rental listings (3.3%) changed their asking rent. 618 of those were cuts and 276 were rises; the median cut was **−5.9%**.
- **Sales:** 587 live sale listings (2.3%) changed their asking price. 323 were cuts and 249 were rises; the median cut was **−5.0%**.

Most listings are holding their price, so this is a modest signal. But it points the same way as Ajman, and as new-lease rents in Dubai (see the [monthly Dubai rent report](/reports)): where prices move, they are mostly moving down, and more so for rents than sale prices.

## Commercial and land

Sharjah has 4,292 land plots for sale (median AED 1.2M) and a small commercial and office segment. See [Sharjah land](/market-data/sharjah/land) and [Sharjah commercial](/market-data/sharjah/commercial).

## Reproduce this report with the API

Sharjah's Property Finder `location_id` is **4**; use [`/autocomplete-location`](/documentation/endpoints/autocomplete-location) to get the ID of any community, such as Aljada or Al Khan.

```python
import requests
from statistics import median

HOST = "uae-real-estate-property.p.rapidapi.com"
HEADERS = {"x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "x-rapidapi-host": HOST}

def prices(endpoint, **params):
    """Collect listing prices across a few pages of results."""
    values = []
    for page in range(1, 4):
        res = requests.get(f"https://{HOST}/{endpoint}", headers=HEADERS,
                           params={"location_id": 4, "page": page, **params}).json()
        values += [p["price"]["value"] for p in res["data"] if p["price"]["value"]]
    return values

for beds in ["1", "2", "3"]:
    rent = median(prices("search-rent", property_type="apartment", bedrooms=beds, rent_frequency="yearly"))
    ask = median(prices("search-buy", property_type="apartment", bedrooms=beds))
    print(f"Sharjah {beds}-bed: rent AED {rent:,.0f}/yr, price AED {ask:,.0f}, yield {rent / ask:.1%}")
```

- [`/search-rent`](/documentation/endpoints/search-rent) and [`/search-buy`](/documentation/endpoints/search-buy) return live listings with `price`, `bedrooms`, `size` and `location_tree`. Add `completion_status=off_plan` to `/search-buy` to isolate off-plan stock.
- [`/price-trend-of-location`](/documentation/endpoints/price-trend-of-location) returns price trends for a location (`location_id=4`).
- [`/search-new-projects`](/documentation/endpoints/search-new-projects) lists new developments, including ARADA and Alef Group launches.

## How this report was built

All figures are **asking prices and asking rents from live Property Finder listings** in Sharjah as of 29 October 2026 (listings seen in that day's complete scan). Rents are annual asking rents. We report medians to limit the effect of outliers, and exclude sale prices below AED 50,000 or above AED 500M and annual rents below AED 8,000 or above AED 20M. Gross yield is median asking rent ÷ median asking price for apartments in the same community, shown only where both have at least 30 listings. Price changes compare each live listing's asking price on 8 September 2026 (or when first seen) with its latest price. These are market indicators, not registered transaction values: Sharjah transactions are not included in this dataset.
