Oman Real Estate Market 2026: Steady Growth and Rising Investor Confidences
Oman’s real estate sector continued its steady upward trajectory through the first half of 2026, with rising sales activity reinforcing investor confidence across the Sultanate.
According to the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI), the total value of real estate transactions rose 5.4% year-on-year to RO 1.43 billion in the first half of 2026, driven by stronger property sales. The value of sales contracts increased 12.2% to RO 688 million by the end of June, while the number of transactions rose 6.9% to 34,017 — a clear signal of sustained buyer demand.

Mortgage activity also pointed to a maturing, credit-active market. While the value of mortgage contracts edged down 0.3% to RO 740.20 million, the number of mortgage transactions jumped 25.7% to 13,383, reflecting broader participation from buyers entering the market. Oman Observer
On pricing, the momentum has been notable. The official residential real estate price index showed strong growth in Q1 2026, with residential prices up 17.6% year-on-year, led largely by rising land values, while completed homes such as villas and apartments recorded more moderate, sustainable gains.

Several structural drivers continue to underpin this growth: Vision 2040 infrastructure investment, expanding freehold ownership access, major master-planned developments, and Oman’s reputation for economic and political stability. Prime Muscat communities remain the most liquid segment, with well-positioned properties continuing to attract both local and international buyers.
