Bahrain’s real estate market showed steady growth in the first half of 2025, with transactions reaching BD775.2 million across 5,099 deals, according to Eng. Bassim bin Yaqoub Al Hamer, President of the Survey and Land Registration Bureau.

The figures mark an increase from BD745.8 million and 5,005 transactions recorded during the same period in 2024. The highest single-day transaction value was on April 21, reaching BD53.6 million, reflecting the sector’s continued strength and attractiveness to investors.

Al Hamer noted that real estate activity among non-Bahrainis grew by 20.75% compared to the same period last year, while transactions by Bahrainis rose by 4.39%. Among the governorates, the Capital Governorate led with BD265.4 million in deals, marking a 32.84% growth. It was followed by Muharraq at BD197.6 million (13.52% growth) and the Northern Governorate at BD215.1 million (5.82% growth).

Property sales were mainly driven by houses, which accounted for BD215 million in transactions—a 14.54% rise from last year—followed by apartments with BD107.8 million, up 1.91%. The report also highlighted a balanced market, with 58% of property transfers by men and 42% by women, reflecting an inclusive and accessible real estate environment.

Al Hamer added that real estate transactions are attracting a wide range of age groups, a sign of a vibrant market that caters to diverse needs. He attributed this to the growing confidence in Bahrain’s real estate sector, supported by transparent procedures and easy access to accurate market data.

He emphasized that the Survey and Land Registration Bureau is continuing its digital transformation initiatives to speed up transactions, simplify processes, and improve customer experience. Real-time and periodic market reports are also published on www.slrb.gov.bh to help investors and decision-makers make informed choices, reinforcing Bahrain’s position as a leading regional real estate hub.
