Muscat: Oman’s real estate market has reached $2.46 billion by April 2026, recording a 13.4% increase in total traded value driven by stronger sales and rising mortgage activity. According to official data, mortgage transactions showed the highest growth, reflecting increasing demand for property financing across the country. Sales contracts also registered an upward trend, while barter transactions reflected higher value despite fewer deals. However, the number of issued title deeds declined, including those for GCC citizens, indicating a slowdown in ownership registrations even as overall market activity remained strong. Analysts suggest the data highlights continued momentum in Oman’s property sector, supported by financing-driven demand. Can sustained mortgage growth further strengthen Oman’s real estate investment landscape?
