A market entering its next chapter
Oman's residential market has matured well beyond Al Mouj. Government Vision 2040 reforms, expanded ITC freehold permissions and the Investor Residency programme have widened the buyer pool, while new infrastructure in Muscat, Sohar and Duqm is reshaping where investors deploy capital.
Demand drivers to watch
- Investor Residency demand from regional and South Asian capital
- Tourism-led short-term rental yield in Salalah and Sifah
- Corporate relocation supporting prime Muscat leasing
- Limited stock of trophy beachfront villas in Al Mouj
Where we are guiding clients
For yield-focused investors we favour Muscat ITC apartments at the OMR 120k to 250k entry point. For trophy capital, oceanfront villas in Zunairah remain a thin, undersupplied market. Salalah continues to outperform on seasonal yield during Khareef.
