Egypt Real Estate Market Hits Record High in H1 2026

Egypt's property sector continues its remarkable growth trajectory, with residential transaction volumes reaching a record EGP 420 billion in the first half of 2026 — a 22% increase year-on-year. New Cairo, the North Coast, and Ain Sokhna led the surge, driven by sustained demand from both domestic buyers and the Egyptian diaspora seeking to hedge against currency volatility with hard-asset investments. Developers report that off-plan sales now account for over 60% of total transaction volume, with flexible payment plans of 7-10 years becoming the market standard.
