MUSCAT: Oman’s real estate price index rose by 13.9 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the same period a year earlier, according to data released by the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI).
The residential sector led the growth, with prices increasing by 14.6 per cent, driven by a 20.6 per cent rise in villa prices and a 25.8 per cent surge in other housing categories. Residential land prices also climbed by 14.6 per cent, while apartment prices recorded a marginal increase of 0.6 per cent.
The commercial real estate index grew by 12.3 per cent, supported by an 18.8 per cent rise in commercial land prices. However, retail shop prices declined by 12.1 per cent and industrial land prices fell by 2.9 per cent.
At the governorate level, Muscat recorded the highest increase in residential land prices at 41.3 per cent. Other regions posting gains included Al Batinah South (6.3 per cent), Musandam (4.8 per cent) and Dhofar (2.9 per cent).
In contrast, notable declines were recorded in Al Wusta (40.3 per cent), Al Dhahirah (24.7 per cent) and Al Buraimi (16.4 per cent), reflecting uneven market performance across the Sultanate of Oman. — ONA
