GCC real estate poised for strong H2

The GCC real estate sector remained buoyant in the first half of 2025 due to rising property values and strong sales activity across residential, commercial and hospitality markets. This looks set to continue into the second half of the year.

A new report from Markaz projects the sector will maintain its upward trajectory through H2, particularly in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The outlook points to lower interest rates, fiscal support and steady government investment in economic diversification as the key drivers.

Markaz expects ongoing momentum to not only strengthen property fundamentals but also attract fresh capital, positioning the GCC real estate sector for a strong close to 2025.
