Al Khawaneej First, year by year

How prices, sales, rents and yield have moved here, each year against the one before.

Registered sales fell to 34 in 2025, down 17% on 2024.

What this means for you: rising prices with steady yield suggest rents are keeping pace; prices rising faster than rents mean yield is thinning. Past movement is a record, not a forecast.
