Oman Real Estate Outlook 2025H2 · Published: 2025-10-14 · Author: Ahmad Khalaf · ~17 min read
Oman enters 2025H2 with tame inflation, a small policy-rate cut, and firm trade and travel flows. Containers rose in H1, air passengers stayed strong, and prime malls are nearly full. That mix supports industrial and logistics, while retail and hospitality hold their ground.
This six-month outlook converts hard data into underwritable actions. Start with the Gap Scorecard to rank city×sector opportunities, then dive into sector tables for the “now” snapshot and the 6-month banded forecasts.
The composite blends Demand (30%), Supply over 6–18 months (20%), Pricing Power (20%), Affordability (10%), Liquidity (10%), and Policy/Costs (10%). Scores are then risk-adjusted for data confidence.
| Rank | City | Sector | Score (/5) | Why now |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sohar | Industrial & Logistics | 3.49 | Gateway flows and localized projects; supportive OPAZ land terms. |
| 2 | Muscat | Industrial & Logistics | 3.48 | Tight serviced sheds and easing cost of capital. |
| 3 | Muscat | Retail (prime malls) | 3.39 | Issuer-audited occupancy near full; controlled pipeline. |
| 4 | Muscat | Hospitality | 3.38 | Occupancy trending higher; air passengers supportive. |
| 5 | Muscat | Alt-Assets (Digital infra) | 3.25 | Network depth and steady enterprise migration. |
