    Analyst Opinion

    Egypt has experienced significant growth in its residential real estate transactions market in recent years. This can be attributed to a combination of customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. Customer preferences in the Egyptian residential real estate market have played a key role in its development. Egyptians have traditionally placed a high value on homeownership, considering it a symbol of stability and financial security. As a result, there is a strong demand for residential properties, particularly among young professionals and growing families. Additionally, there is a preference for properties with modern amenities and convenient locations, such as those close to schools, shopping centers, and transportation hubs. Trends in the market have also contributed to the growth of residential real estate transactions in Egypt. One notable trend is the increasing popularity of gated communities and integrated developments. These developments offer a range of amenities, including security, recreational facilities, and community spaces, which appeal to buyers seeking a higher quality of life. Another trend is the rise of off-plan sales, where buyers purchase properties before they are completed. This allows developers to secure financing and buyers to benefit from lower prices and potential capital appreciation. Local special circumstances have further fueled the growth of the residential real estate market in Egypt. The country's growing population, coupled with rapid urbanization, has created a demand for housing that outpaces supply. This has led to increased construction activity and the development of new residential projects. Additionally, the government has implemented policies and initiatives to support the real estate sector, such as providing incentives for developers and facilitating access to mortgage financing for buyers. Underlying macroeconomic factors have also played a role in the development of the residential real estate transactions market in Egypt. The country has experienced a period of economic stability and growth, which has boosted consumer confidence and purchasing power. Additionally, low interest rates and favorable mortgage terms have made homeownership more accessible to a wider range of buyers. Furthermore, the government's efforts to attract foreign investment and promote tourism have resulted in increased demand for residential properties from both domestic and international buyers. In conclusion, the residential real estate transactions market in Egypt has experienced significant growth due to customer preferences, trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors. The strong demand for homeownership, the popularity of gated communities and off-plan sales, the growing population, government support, and favorable economic conditions have all contributed to the development of this market. As Egypt continues to experience economic growth and urbanization, it is likely that the residential real estate market will continue to thrive.

    Global housing market - statistics & facts

    The global housing market has slowed amid high inflation and soaring borrowing costs. Homeownership is one of the most universal signs of success and prosperity: It serves both as a source of stable and secure housing and a long-term investment. After the global financial crisis, property prices rose in many countries and especially in advanced economies. For more than a decade after that, the housing market has been on an upward trajectory, culminating in the housing boom during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, housing shortages in highly competitive markets, the recent rapid house price growth, soaring inflation, and consequently, some of the highest mortgage interest rates recorded in the past 10 years have led to the market cooling.

    Residential real estate in India - statistics and facts

    Generally considered the third key pillar of the food, clothing, and shelter trinity popularized in India over generations, owning a home is still prioritized as a measure of financial security by a vast majority of the Indian population. The COVID-19 pandemic with its successive lockdowns and restrictions to stay within the confines of one’s home, further reinforced this vision. India’s growing urban population, rising household incomes, and decade-long low-interest rates have been propelling the demand for residential units, driving up the sales volume. Even though the residential real estate sector was severely hit in 2020, it marked a strong recovery in consecutive years, crossing pre-COVID sales figures.
