Oman's real estate price index rose 15.9% in Q1 2026, transaction values reached RO 678.1 million by March — up 18.4% year-on-year — and foreign buyers now account for roughly a quarter to a third of all sales in the country's freehold zones. Behind those numbers sits a market at a genuinely early stage of its growth curve: a government actively opening the country to foreign ownership through Royal...
Dubai closed the first half of 2026 with AED 286.43 billion in property sales — the second-highest H1 total in the emirate's history — after a Q1 that saw transactions surge 31% year-on-year to AED 252 billion and average price per square foot climb to AED 1,759, up 12.5% from a year earlier. For anyone weighing whether Dubai still makes sense as a place to put capital, the honest answer is that the...

TUIK's 2024 regional price index (Istanbul 112.6, lowest region 91.5, Turkey = 100) set against the central bank's average price per m² by province.
Muscat and Salalah are Oman's two flagship real estate markets, and they offer genuinely different investment cases rather than simply competing on price. Muscat is the capital: a diversified, year-round economy anchored by government, energy, finance, and an expanding freehold property sector built around Integrated Tourism Complexes (ITCs). Salalah is the south's tourism powerhouse, transformed every...
Off-plan property has become the default way most investors enter the Dubai real estate market — and for good reason. Developers now sell the majority of new supply before a single floor is built, buyers can secure a unit with as little as 5-10% down, and post-handover payment plans stretch the remaining balance over years rather than months.
