As of early 2026, the 12-month demand outlook for residential property in Oman is stable to positive, with strong price momentum carrying over from 2025 and continued expatriate hiring supporting rental demand in Muscat’s prime areas.
The key economic and political factors most likely to influence demand in Oman over the next 12 months are oil prices (which affect government spending and confidence), the pace of Vision 2040 infrastructure projects, expatriate workforce growth, and global interest rate trends that feed into mortgage costs.
The forecasted price movement for Oman over the next 12 months is moderate growth of 3% to 7%, with prime ITC properties likely at the higher end of that range and secondary stock remaining flat or seeing marginal gains, as the market consolidates after the sharp 2025 rebound.
