Egypt Real Estate 2025: An Overview
The Egyptian real estate market in 2025 was trending healthily, starting with a sharp spike in Q1. Later on March 25, this surge dropped, and both buyers and investors waited during Ramadan for any decisions.
The surge returned on April 25 at its peak of the buying and investment surge. Simply put, both buyers and investors have waited for Ramadan and Eid to make their decisions.
Another factor that helped with this “April surge” was the anticipation of the announcement of Jirian New Delta and Marrasi Red. This made the involved parties wait till they figured out what would be the best option to pump their money into.
Later, in the second half of the year, the trend remained steady with no sharp surges. Over the summer months, starting in May and continuing till September, no big jumps were observed. This implies that in the summer 25 season, North Coast was highly able to absorb the high summer homes demand.
Reflecting on 2026, so far it is reported that April witnessed the largest surge of the year, just like 2025, which will be tested against end-of-year numbers. Don’t forget that the summer season is yet to unfold and might hold strong surges as well.
Nevertheless, the performance of the market is yet to be assessed in light of the international situation.
That was just an overview of 2025’s performance and the forecast for 2026 in that light. In the following sections, we’ll break down these findings by tackling the top developers, top demand areas, and high-demand property types on demand.
