A recent report revealed that Oman’s real estate market maintained a state of stability during the final quarter of 2025. This stability is attributed to the noticeable improvement in economic indicators and the continued attraction of demand from both investors and tenants.
The total value of real estate transactions reached approximately OMR 2.8 billion by the end of November 2025, reflecting strong activity in purchasing and investment operations within the market. Real estate sales contracts also recorded an annual growth of 17.9%, indicating rising confidence in the sector and increased buyer interest.
In the rental sector, the report explained that residential and commercial markets in Muscat Governorate managed to maintain stable rental levels over the same period.
Premium residential areas delivered outstanding performance, recording higher rental rates, particularly in the villa segment, supported by prime locations and growing demand from higher-income segments.
The report confirmed that villas in upscale residential areas continue to lead rental growth due to the preference of many tenants for this type of housing. This preference has resulted in higher occupancy levels and price stability for this category of units.
The report also noted that the legislative reforms adopted by the Sultanate, along with incentives related to long-term residency linked to property ownership, are expected to play an important role in supporting market activity. These changes are likely to enhance confidence and increase occupancy and purchase rates in the near future.
