Townhouses for Sale: Oman, Dubai and Georgia

The short answer

This archive collects the projects on uinvestgroup.com that carry the Townhouse tag, and the page you are reading is meant to be a plain account of what that means. As of 27 October 2026 the archive holds 14 listings: seven in Oman, six in Dubai and one in Georgia. If you searched for townhouses for sale, the first thing to know is that the archive is organised by tag, not by unit. A project appears here when at least one of its unit types is a townhouse, and most of the 14 also carry an Apartment or Villa tag, so a project can be mainly an apartment building and still sit in this list.

We opened all 14 live listing pages on 27 October 2026 and read the unit details in the body text. Six of them publish a townhouse price: Hay Al Wafa, Telal Al Qurm, Luma Residence and Nismat Zain in Oman, and Terra Woods and Dreamz by Danube in Dubai. Six more confirm that townhouse units exist but show no townhouse price: Mira Ocean Estates, The St. Regis Residences, Eleganz by Danube, Somerset Mews, Belgravia II and Belgravia III. The last two, Azura Beach Residences and Wyndham Grand Residences Gonio, carry the tag while the body text describes duplex beach chalets and villas rather than anything called a townhouse.

The number printed on each listing card is the project’s lowest “from” price, and it is usually an apartment price. In 11 of the 13 priced cards the card figure is not a townhouse price: ten are apartment or project-wide entry prices and the Georgian card is a villa price. At Terra Woods, for example, the card shows $435,600 while the townhouse starts at AED 5,026,900, which our listing page converts to $1,368,795. Reading the card as the cost of a townhouse would understate the entry price by about $933,000 in that case. The sections below show, listing by listing, which figure is which.

All prices on this page are shown in each listing’s own currency; every card in this archive happens to be in US dollars. Where a Dubai rule is quoted in dirhams, the US dollar equivalent follows in brackets at the AED peg of 3.6725 per dollar. Figures come from our listing pages as of 27 October 2026 or from the official sources linked in the text, and each rate, fee or threshold carries its date. Nothing here is a forecast, and the page does not recommend a purchase.

What the Townhouses for Sale archive contains

This Townhouses for Sale archive is small, uneven and split across three markets with very different rules. The table below summarises it by country using the card data on the listing pages.

The Oman rows are covered in more depth on our Oman townhouse page, which looks only at the Omani market. This archive adds Dubai and Georgia and puts them side by side. The Dubai card prices span $197,400 to $571,800 and the Oman card prices span $104,000 to $882,000, but those ranges describe the “from” prices on the cards, not the cost of a townhouse, as the next section explains.

The median is a computed figure for this dataset only: the 13 priced cards, sorted, have $250,000 in the middle. It says nothing about the market. One listing, Somerset Mews in Jumeirah Village Circle, has no price on its card: the listing page reads “Price on request.”

Reading card prices on Townhouses for Sale listings

Each card shows a price prefix such as “From” or “Starting from” followed by a single figure. That figure is the lowest price among all unit types the project sells, not the lowest townhouse price. Because most projects here sell studios or one-bedroom apartments alongside their townhouses, the lowest figure is normally an apartment. The table compares the card price with the townhouse price where the listing body gives one.

For the other eight listings no townhouse price is shown, so no comparison is possible. The practical rule is simple. When a card carries an Apartment tag next to Townhouse, treat the card price as an apartment price until the body text says otherwise. The gap is large: at Telal Al Qurm and Luma Residence the townhouse costs about $246,000 and $268,000 more than the card price, and at Hay Al Wafa about $93,000 more.

The prefix matters as well. “Starting from” and “From” both mean an entry price for the lowest-priced qualifying unit, and the prices on development listings reflect the developer’s schedule on the date we checked. They are not valuations, and they are not the price of a specific unit with a view, floor or plot.

Which listings offer a townhouse unit

The table below classifies all 14 listings after reading each one. “Townhouse price shown” means the listing body states a price for a townhouse unit. “Units confirmed, no price” means the body describes townhouses but gives no figure. “Tag only” means the body describes other unit types.

This classification is the most useful thing the archive can offer, because it separates the six listings where a townhouse buyer can compare a stated price from the eight where the buyer would need to ask the developer for a figure. The tag-only pair is a data-labelling matter: a duplex chalet and a villa share some features with a townhouse, and the tag is harmless as long as the reader knows what the body describes.

Oman: the townhouses that publish a price

Four of the seven Omani listings give a townhouse figure, and one of the four is not available to foreign buyers on the listing’s own wording. All four figures are “from” prices for the entry townhouse and all come from our listing pages as of 27 October 2026.

Hay Al Wafa, Sultan Haitham City

The Hay Al Wafa listing describes three- and four-bedroom townhouses over three floors, each with a private back garden and two to four parking spaces. The entry townhouse is from $263,200 (about OMR 101,200) at 1,722 sq ft (160 m²). The payment plan on the page is 20% on booking and 80% over 36 months, which for the entry townhouse is a $52,640 down payment, a $210,560 balance and about $5,849 a month. Handover is a developer target of Q4 2027. The developer is Al Abrar Real Estate, profiled on our developer page.

Telal Al Qurm, Muscat

The Telal Al Qurm listing offers three- and four-bedroom townhouses inside a licensed Integrated Tourism Complex between Wattayah and Qurum. The 4-bedroom is from $445,800 (OMR 171,409) at 2,282 sq ft, about 212 m². The 3-bedroom is 179 m² over two floors, but the page shows no separate 3-bedroom price. The masterplan lists 46 townhouses. Handover is Q1 2028, with instalments over six months after handover and full settlement by June 2028.

Luma Residence, Muscat Bay

The Luma Residence listing counts 52 townhouses among 240 homes, from 2,607 sq ft (242 m²) at $568,400. The plan has eight instalments with 50% due on completion and handover, which the page puts at Q1 2029. The page also gives the entry villa as $650,200, so the townhouse sits $81,800 below the villa, and the entry apartment as $300,500. More on the community is in our Muscat Bay guide.

Nismat Zain, Sur

The Nismat Zain listing offers one townhouse model, Type R: a terraced home with four bedrooms plus a maid’s room, 1,862 sq ft (173 m²) on a 140 m² plot, from $104,000 (OMR 39,988), with handover targeted for Q4 2033. It is the lowest card price in the archive. It is also a Surooh scheme project: our listing describes Surooh as Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning housing for Omani citizens entitled to residential plots, and shows non-Omani access as “per programme rules.” Our house position is to treat this as citizen stock rather than a foreign-buyer price until the developer confirms eligibility in writing. The Ministry’s statement of 28 June 2026, reported by Gulf News, lists integrated residential neighbourhoods, including Surooh, among the designated areas, so eligibility is decided project by project. Our guide to Omani property foreigners cannot buy explains the test.

Oman projects without a townhouse price

Three Omani listings confirm townhouse-type units but show no figure for them. Mira Ocean Estates in Hawana Salalah lists 20 townhouses and 21 villas “on request” among 263 residences, with the card price of $149,738 belonging to a studio; handover is a developer target of Q4 2028. The St. Regis Residences in Al Mouj describes freehold apartments and duplex townhouses up to four bedrooms; only apartments are priced, from $882,000 for a one-bedroom. The listing body gives August 2024 as the residential handover, while the card’s year field reads 2028. Azura Beach Residences sells 570 apartments and 41 four-bedroom duplex beach chalets in its final phases; the card price of $221,000 is the apartment entry price of OMR 85,000, and the chalets have no price on the page. A buyer interested in any of the three has to request a townhouse or chalet price from the developer.

Dubai: townhouses and apartment-led projects

Six Dubai listings carry the tag. Two publish a townhouse price, four confirm townhouse units without one, and three of the six are buildings where townhouses are a minority of the homes. Dubai prices on our pages are quoted in dirhams with a dollar equivalent at the peg, so the table below shows both.

Terra Woods at Expo Living

The Terra Woods listing is an Emaar project beside Expo City Dubai. Our page gives the townhouse as from AED 5,026,900 ($1,368,795) at from 2,580 sq ft, with a construction-linked plan of 10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% on completion, and an expected handover of Q1 2030 that the page attributes to Property Finder. The card price of $435,600 is not a townhouse price. The page states freehold title in a designated area and says the owners’ association sets an annual service charge against the RERA index. Emaar has a profile on our Emaar developer page.

Dreamz by Danube, Al Furjan

The Dreamz listing is a completed community of 171 townhouses finished in 2017, of three and four bedrooms at roughly 2,400 to 3,000+ sq ft with private gardens. The card price of $571,800 corresponds to the 3-bedroom from AED 2.1 million, and the 4-bedroom is from AED 2.6 million. Because the project completed in 2017 and the developer describes it as sold out, any unit offered now is a resale, with the asking price coming from the seller rather than the developer. The listing page tells buyers to check the title deed with the seller.

Belgravia II and III, Eleganz and Somerset Mews

The four remaining Dubai listings are in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) and are completed. Somerset Mews is the only project in the archive that is mostly townhouses by description: four-bedroom units, a 2018 handover, freehold, with a price on request. Eleganz by Danube has 40 four-bedroom townhouses among 259 homes, with a project starting price of AED 1.23 million ($334,900) that is not a townhouse price. Belgravia II (2019, 188 homes) lists two-storey two-bedroom townhouses of 1,851 to 2,611 sq ft with no price, while its card shows $197,400, which is a studio price. Belgravia III (2022, 260 homes) shows townhouses only inside a combined “two-bedroom apartment or townhouse” category, with registered sales of AED 1,543,828 to AED 2,400,000 ($420,400 to $653,500) at 1,208 to 2,013 sq ft; its card figure of $272,300 is a one-bedroom apartment. Both Ellington buildings are profiled on the Ellington developer page, and the two Danube projects on the Danube page.

Georgia: Wyndham Grand Residences Gonio

Georgia contributes one listing, and it is the clearest example of a tag that does not match the body text. The Wyndham Grand Residences Gonio listing is tagged House, Townhouse and Villa and is titled as a villa project in Gonio, in the Batumi area. The body describes two-bedroom villas of 120 to 150 m² and three-bedroom villas of 180 to 220 m², each with a private pool, at prices from $250,000 to $500,000 per villa. The card’s size field reads “from 37,3 sq. m.”, which does not match those unit ranges, and no completion date appears in the body; the year field shows 2025.

The arithmetic is simple. At the headline price, $250,000 over the smallest villa of 120 m² is $2,083 per m², and $500,000 over the largest villa of 220 m² is $2,273 per m². The listing quotes an average of $2,000 to $3,000 per m², and these two bounds sit inside that range. The page lists homeowner association fees of $200 to $400 a month, which is $2,400 to $4,800 a year, and developer instalments starting from 30% down over 12 to 36 months. Per the listing, there is no property transfer tax and notary fees run about $50 to $100. Our guides on Georgian residency and living in Georgia cover the wider rules, and the Batumi city page lists the other Georgian projects.

Townhouse, villa or apartment: what the labels mean in these listings

The three words describe building forms, and the listings use them loosely. In the Oman and Dubai listings read for this page, a townhouse is a multi-storey home of two or three floors in a terrace or row, with its own entrance and a small private garden or terrace, and usually without a large plot. Hay Al Wafa has three floors and a back garden; Telal Al Qurm has a front yard of 20 m² and a back yard of 21 m² on the 3-bedroom; Nismat Zain sits on a 140 m² plot for 173 m² of built area. A villa in the same projects is detached and larger, and an apartment shares a building with other homes.

Our villa versus apartment guide, dated 16 October 2026, compares the same projects per square metre. In its figures the Hay Al Wafa townhouse is about 12% dearer per m² than the villa there, the Luma townhouse (OMR 903 per m²) is almost level with the villa (OMR 899), and the Telal Al Qurm 4-bedroom townhouse (OMR 809) is cheaper per m² than the 2-bedroom apartment (OMR 864). The pattern is not consistent, which is the point: the label does not tell you which of the three is the better value per square metre.

The dwelling form also matters for ownership rules, which depend on the land the unit sits on and not on the label. In Oman, per our guide to property foreigners cannot buy, two-storey villas and townhouses generally fall outside the apartment usufruct route for multi-storey buildings, so a foreign buyer relies on freehold inside a designated area; this is covered under ownership below. For the detached format, see our villas for sale in Oman page and the villa archive. For apartments, the apartment archive and the Oman apartments page cover the larger inventory, and the small studio apartment archive and the wider studio archive cover the smallest units.

Price per square foot and per square metre

A per-area figure is useful only when the price and the size describe the same unit. Four listings give a clean pairing in which the price and the size both refer to the entry townhouse. The table shows the steps. The per-metre figures divide the dollar price by the listing’s own m² number.

The range is wide: $56 to $218 per sq ft, a spread of nearly four to one. The first reason is location and market segment. The second is title: Nismat Zain’s low figure belongs to a citizen-oriented scheme, so it is not a price a foreign buyer can compare with the others. Among the three listings open to foreign buyers on their own wording, the cost per sq ft rises from $153 at Hay Al Wafa to $195 at Telal Al Qurm to $218 at Luma Residence, and the same order holds for the whole entry townhouse price.

The comparison with the apartment in the same project is a second check. At Telal Al Qurm the two-bedroom apartment is $200,100 for 958 sq ft, or $209 per sq ft, against $195 for the townhouse. At Luma the two-bedroom apartment is $300,500 for 1,211 sq ft, or $248 per sq ft, against $218 for the townhouse and about $217 for the entry villa ($650,200 for 2,997 sq ft). In both projects the larger home has the lower rate per square foot, which is a common pattern, but you should verify it unit by unit because floor level, finish and views change the price. For the wider Omani context, see our price per square metre ranking of 29 projects.

One Dubai pairing is available but looser. Terra Woods lists “from AED 5,026,900” and “from 2,580 sq ft”, which gives AED 1,948 per sq ft ($531) if both belong to the same unit. Belgravia III’s combined two-bedroom category shows AED 1,093 to 1,440 per sq ft on registered sales. These are different markets and different ages of stock, and the Dubai figures should not be set against the Omani ones without keeping that in mind. The other eight listings have no usable pairing, so no per-area figure is computed for them.

Ownership and title for foreign buyers of townhouses for sale

Whether a foreigner can own a townhouse depends on where it stands. The rules below are summarised from primary and official sources, with the date of each.

For Oman, the legal commentary published in Times of Oman on 25 July 2026 describes the Integrated Tourism Complex framework: Royal Decree 12/2006, amended up to Royal Decree 76/2010, and its executive regulation allow Omani and non-Omani individuals and companies to own built units or plots, two first-degree relatives may own jointly, and an owner of a plot must build within four years. Royal Decree 38/2025, in force from 14 April 2025, adds in Article 42 that a developer may sell units in special economic and free zone projects to non-Omanis as freehold, in the manner the regulation specifies. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning said on 28 June 2026 that foreign ownership has not been opened nationwide and applies only in designated areas. Our guides on freehold in Oman and buying as a foreigner go through the process, and comparing the ITCs shows which complexes exist.

For Dubai, Dubai Law No. 7 of 2006 provides in Article 4 that, with the Ruler’s approval, non-UAE nationals may hold freehold ownership without time restriction, or usufruct or leasehold up to 99 years, in areas the Ruler determines. Off-plan sales must be entered in the interim register under Dubai Law No. 13 of 2008, Article 3, or they are void. Our freehold versus leasehold guide explains how to check the area. For Georgia, the title is registered with the National Agency of Public Registry, and the fees are in the costs section below.

Residency thresholds against townhouse prices

Residency and ownership are separate questions, and buying a townhouse does not by itself give anyone a residence permit. The authorities assess each application on its own terms. The table sets the published thresholds beside the townhouse prices on the listings, so you can see which prices are above or below the line on paper. It does not predict an approval.

The Oman rule: the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion item of 13 September 2025 sets the Golden Residency minimum at OMR 200,000 for a ten-year renewable residency, with real estate among the routes. Our Golden Residency versus Owner Visa guide adds that the property route covers units in a licensed Integrated Tourism Complex with a valid title deed. The listing page for Luma states the townhouse sits at or above the line; whether an off-plan unit counts before it has a title deed is a question for the authority. The Owner Visa is a different instrument: Royal Oman Police Decision 87/2026, reported on 25 June 2026, lets a foreign owner apply without a sponsor for six months to one year, renewable, and ends it when ownership transfers. The report names no minimum property value. Our wider guide is Oman residency by property.

The UAE rule: the Dubai Land Department’s investor Golden Visa service requires a purchase value of AED 2 million or more at the time of purchase, with the property wholly owned by the applicant, and accepts a mortgaged property when a bank no-objection letter states the amount paid and the balance. The UAE government portal lists the same AED 2 million minimum for investors. Note the arithmetic on the cards: the Terra Woods card price of $435,600 is about AED 1.6 million, below the line, while the townhouse at AED 5,026,900 is above it, which is why the card cannot be used for this test. Our Dubai Golden Visa guide sets out the steps.

The Georgia rule: the Public Service Development Agency states that a short-term residence permit is available to an applicant holding title to immovable property other than agricultural land with a market value exceeding USD 150,000 equivalent in GEL, supported by a report from an accredited assessor. The test is the assessor’s valuation, not the purchase price. An investment permit carries a USD 300,000 property threshold on the same page.

Buying costs for townhouses for sale, by country

The one-off costs depend on the country far more than on the type of home. The table collects the rates we could source from official pages and shows the date of each. Percentages apply to the price in the listing’s own currency.

The primary pages behind the table are these. Oman’s Oman Observer report of 8 November 2020 records the Minister of Housing and Urban Planning cutting the fee for registering property sales from 5% to 3% of value from 3 November; the report does not state who pays, and our listing pages assume the foreign buyer. The Deloitte summary of the Oman Tax Authority’s real estate VAT guide treats the first supply of residential property as taxed at 5% and resales as exempt. KPMG reports the 5% personal income tax above OMR 42,000 from 2028. Our Oman property tax guide sets these out with caveats.

In Dubai, the DLD sale registration page lists 2% payable by each of buyer and seller, which makes 4% of the sale value, plus the flat fees and a service partner fee of AED 4,000 plus VAT where the sale value is AED 500,000 or more. The initial sale page applies 2% to each side for off-plan contracts and the 90-day window, and the mortgage registration page gives 0.25%. The Federal Tax Authority FAQ says residential supplies are generally exempt, with the first supply zero-rated within three years of completion. The UAE government portal states that the UAE does not levy income tax on individuals. See our Dubai property tax guide for the annual position.

In Georgia, the National Agency of Public Registry lists GEL 150 for four working days, GEL 270 for one working day and GEL 350 on the day of filing. The Revenue Service property tax page splits household income at GEL 100,000, with the return due by 1 November and payment by 15 November.

The next table turns the rates into worked examples on actual townhouse prices from the listings. They are arithmetic on the rates above, not quotations, and VAT in Oman applies only where the sale is a first supply by a VAT-registered developer, which the buyer must confirm project by project.

The Omani total depends on whether the 5% applies: without VAT the Hay Al Wafa example is $7,896, with it $21,056, so the difference is larger than the transfer fee itself. Agency, legal and bank charges are separate. Our Oman mortgage guide and Dubai mortgage guide cover financing.

Service charges, community fees and running costs

A townhouse in a managed community carries a recurring fee. The listings show how differently it is stated.

The Telal Al Qurm row shows the arithmetic with the unit area, and the Hay Al Wafa and Wyndham rows divide the stated range by the entry price. The Georgian figure is higher in percentage terms because it includes the pool, garden and security services in a private resort-style scheme, according to the listing. In Dubai, the Real Estate Regulatory Agency approves service fees for jointly owned property, and the Dubai Land Department’s service charge index page lets a buyer look up the approved fees for a given project, use type and year. In Oman, the Jebel Sifah regulations reported by the Oman Observer in September 2025 show how an ITC works in practice: owners pay an annual fee set by the developer under the bylaws, and the developer appoints an independent auditor to review the accounts and fees. Our Oman service charges guide collects further examples.

For a townhouse the charge may be per m² of built area, a flat figure or a monthly association fee, and it may exclude private garden maintenance. Ask for the schedule for the specific unit and check whether the charge is fixed for a period or reviewed annually.

Handover and completion status

Seven of the 14 listings are off-plan or still under construction, six are complete or described as complete, and the Georgian listing gives no completion date in its body. The date matters because an off-plan townhouse ties money up for years and exposes the buyer to delivery risk, while a completed one can be inspected.

Off-plan buyers should look at the rules for money held before handover. In Oman, the new Real Estate Regulation Law is Royal Decree 79/2025, which on decree.om repeals the earlier escrow system for development projects; our guides on Law 79/2025 and buying off-plan in Oman cover what replaces it. In Dubai, see our off-plan guide. Handover dates in Oman are summarised in the handover calendar, and a handover inspection is covered in the snagging guide.

Checklist before reserving townhouses for sale, and what the data cannot tell you

The list below is the order in which the questions take least effort to answer.

• Ask which unit the price describes. Request the townhouse price in writing, with its size, bedrooms and plot, rather than relying on the card.
• Check the title and the area. Confirm the project sits in a designated area for foreign buyers and ask for the licence or designation in writing. A brochure is not a licence.
• Read the price basis. Ask whether VAT, the registration fee and any agency fee are inside or outside the quoted figure.
• Get the service-charge schedule for that unit, including private garden or pool maintenance and any sinking fund.
• Read the handover clause. The sale agreement sets the date and remedies, not the marketing page.
• Test the residency arithmetic on the contract price and the authority’s rules. Do not rely on a listing sentence.
• Take independent legal advice in the country of purchase before paying.

The archive has limits that no checklist removes. It tells you the lowest card price per project, not the full price list. It does not show unit availability, floor or plot position, or whether a “from” price is still open. Sizes are given in square feet or square metres depending on the listing, and some are project-wide ranges. The Dubai completed buildings are resale markets in which the asking price is set by individual sellers, so a listing price is a starting point and not a transaction record. There is no record in the dataset of closed townhouse sales in any of the three countries.

The data also mixes very different products under one word: a Surooh terrace in Sur, a branded resort duplex in Al Mouj and a gated villa scheme in Gonio are not interchangeable. The honest use of a page about townhouses for sale is as a map. Open the listing, read the unit table, and ask for the document behind each number.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many townhouses for sale are on this page?

The archive lists 14 projects tagged Townhouse as of 27 October 2026: seven in Oman, six in Dubai and one in Georgia. The count is of projects, not individual townhouses; for example Hay Al Wafa, Luma Residence and Dreamz each contain dozens of townhouse units, while Wyndham Gonio lists villas under the tag.

What is the lowest price for townhouses for sale in this archive?

The lowest card price in the archive is $104,000 at Nismat Zain in Sur, which is a Surooh scheme townhouse that our listing describes as housing for Omani citizens. Among the Omani listings that are open to foreign buyers on their own wording, the lowest published townhouse price is $263,200 at Hay Al Wafa, per our listing page.

Is the card price the price of a townhouse?

Often not. The card shows the lowest “from” price for any unit in the project, and in 11 of the 13 priced cards it is not a townhouse price. At Luma Residence the card shows $300,500 for an apartment, while the townhouse starts at $568,400.

Can foreigners buy townhouses for sale in Oman?

Only in designated areas. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning said on 28 June 2026 that foreign ownership is limited to designated areas, which include Integrated Tourism Complexes, future cities and some integrated residential neighbourhoods. Telal Al Qurm, Luma Residence, Mira Ocean Estates, Azura and St. Regis are in ITCs per their listings, and Nismat Zain should be treated as citizen stock until the developer confirms otherwise in writing.

Do townhouses in Oman qualify for the Golden Residency?

The published threshold is OMR 200,000 for a single ITC property. On the listing figures only the Luma Residence townhouse, at $568,400 (about $48,240 above $520,160), is above it, while Telal Al Qurm’s 4-bedroom is OMR 28,591 short. The authority decides each case, and the Owner Visa is a separate sponsor-free route with no minimum value reported.

Are there townhouses for sale in Dubai at a published price?

Two listings publish one. Terra Woods lists a townhouse from AED 5,026,900 ($1,368,795), and Dreamz by Danube lists a 3-bedroom from AED 2.1 million and a 4-bedroom from AED 2.6 million. Somerset Mews has a price on request, and the other three Dubai listings show townhouses without a separate price.

What does it cost to buy a townhouse in Dubai?

The Dubai Land Department lists a registration fee of 4% of the sale value, shared 2% each between buyer and seller, plus AED 250 for the title deed, AED 10 knowledge and AED 10 innovation fees and a service partner fee of AED 4,000 plus VAT for sales of AED 500,000 or more, as of its 14 October 2026 update. A first supply of residential property within three years of completion is zero-rated for VAT.

What does it cost to buy a townhouse in Oman?

The registration fee is 3% of the asset value, which our listing pages put on the foreign buyer, and the first sale of a new residential unit by a developer carries 5% VAT per the Deloitte summary of the Oman Tax Authority guide; resales are exempt. On a $263,200 townhouse, 3% is $7,896 and 5% is $13,160.

Is the Wyndham Gonio listing really a townhouse?

The tag says House, Townhouse and Villa, but the body describes two- and three-bedroom villas of 120 to 220 m² with private pools. The listing reads as a villa scheme, and anyone looking for townhouses for sale should treat it as one only after asking the seller what the units are.

Should I compare townhouses for sale by price per square foot?

Only where the price and size describe the same unit. Four listings allow it: $153, $195, $218 and $56 per sq ft at Hay Al Wafa, Telal Al Qurm, Luma Residence and Nismat Zain. The others lack a clean pairing, so no figure is computed.
