2025 bars come from the Ministry’s quarterly summary files; 2026 bars are counted from its record-level files. The two use the same procedure names but may differ in coverage, so read the 2025 to 2026 change with care. The published Q1 and Q2 2025 files contain identical figures: we show them as Q1 as labelled, and Q2 2025 as not available.

Rents and yields
No official Omani source currently publishes contracted rents. We are requesting these fields from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning and Muscat Municipality. Until then, rent and yield figures will appear here only as estimates from asking data, labelled as such, and only where we have at least 10 comparable observations on each side.
