# Jordan Real Estate Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Asset Type, Property Type & Buyer Type, 2026-2031 --- ## Market Overview # CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview The Jordan Real Estate Market operates through registered land, apartment, villa, commercial, tourism and development-property transactions, with households forming the core demand base. Jordan was approximately **93% urbanized in 2024**, creating sustained requirements for housing, neighborhood retail and employment-linked commercial assets. High urban concentration improves project absorption in established corridors but increases land-price pressure in Amman. Amman remains the principal transaction and development hub because it concentrates government employment, financial services, universities and higher-income households. Central Bank analysis found that Amman represented approximately **70% of national real estate trading volume in 2021**. This concentration gives developers deeper buyer pools and resale liquidity, while increasing competition for serviced land, planning approvals and differentiated residential products. Property registration, cadastral records, valuation and transaction procedures are administered through the Department of Lands and Survey. Jordan has progressively digitized property services, including electronic plans and administrative-value information. The regulatory transition reduces documentation friction and improves pricing transparency, but developers must still manage municipal zoning, building-code compliance, registration fees and non-Jordanian ownership approval requirements. The market is transitioning from pandemic-led recovery toward moderate, fundamentals-based expansion. National real estate trading rose to approximately **JOD 7.179 billion in 2025**, while licensed building area increased by **13.6%** to 10.26 million square meters. Investors should therefore prioritize absorption, affordability and operating yield rather than depend on broad-based price appreciation. ## KPIs at a Glance * Market Value: USD 10,125 million (2025) * Dominant Region: Central Region, led by Amman (2025) * Dominant Segment: Residential Assets (fastest growing transaction pool) * Total Number of Players: 3,000 ## Future Outlook The Jordan Real Estate Market is projected to expand from USD 10,125 million in 2025 to USD 13,783 million by 2031. The forecast represents a 5.27% CAGR during 2026-2031, compared with a 16.00% historical CAGR during 2020-2025 that was amplified by recovery from the pandemic-related 2020 trough. Near-term growth is expected to remain selective because financing costs, regional uncertainty and affordability constraints will limit speculative activity. Residential apartments, serviced development land and mixed-use projects in established urban corridors should capture the largest share of transaction liquidity. From 2027 onward, transaction growth is expected to strengthen as licensed residential supply converts into completed inventory and monetary conditions gradually normalize. Amman will remain the largest value pool, while Aqaba will provide higher-growth exposure through tourism, waterfront residential and hospitality-linked projects. Digitized registration, transparent property indices and improvements in infrastructure should lower transaction friction. Developers with phased construction models, smaller unit formats and credible property-management capabilities will be better positioned than land-heavy operators dependent on premium pricing or prolonged presales. --- | | | | --- | --- | | **5.27%** Forecast CAGR | **$13,783 Mn** 2031 Projection | --- | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Base Year **2025** | Historical Period **2020-2025** | Forecast Period **2026-2031** | Historical CAGR **16.00%** | --- ## Scope of the Report # CHAPTER 2 - Scope of the Market * **Geographic Coverage:** Jordan, including Amman, Zarqa, Irbid, Balqa, Aqaba and other governorates * **Historical Period:** 2020-2025 * **Base Year:** 2025 * **Forecast Period:** 2026-2031 * **Market Segments Covered:** 7 primary segmentation dimensions (Asset Type, Property Type, Buyer Type, Price Tier, Transaction Type, Ownership Model, Geography) * **Companies Covered:** Top 10 key players profiled * **Currency & Units:** USD, values expressed in USD Mn/Bn ### Segmentation Data Tree * Asset Type + Residential Assets - Owner-occupied housing - Income-generating residential assets + Commercial Assets - Office and business assets - Retail and neighborhood commercial assets + Industrial and Logistics Assets - Warehousing and distribution assets - Light industrial facilities + Hospitality and Mixed-Use Assets - Hotels and tourism residences - Integrated mixed-use developments * Property Type + Apartments - Compact apartments below 120 square meters - Family apartments above 120 square meters + Villas and Townhouses - Standalone villas - Gated-community townhouses + Offices and Retail Units - Grade A and Grade B offices - Street retail and mall units + Warehouses and Hospitality Units - Storage and logistics properties - Hotels and serviced residences * Buyer Type + Jordanian Households - First-time homebuyers - Replacement and upgrade buyers + Domestic Investors - Individual rental investors - Family offices and holding companies + Corporate and Institutional Buyers - Operating companies - Banks, funds and public institutions + Non-Jordanian Buyers - Regional Arab investors - International residents and diaspora buyers * Price Tier + Affordable - Subsidized and entry-level units - Compact peripheral-city housing + Mid-Market - Mainstream family housing - Secondary-city investment units + Premium - Prime Amman residences - Branded and amenity-led projects + Luxury - High-end villas and penthouses - Waterfront and resort residences * Transaction Type + Primary Developer Sales - Completed-unit sales - Presales and phased-payment sales + Secondary Market Sales - Owner-to-owner transactions - Investor resale transactions + Land Transactions - Serviced development plots - Undeveloped land parcels + Leasing and Income Transactions - Long-term rental contracts - Income-property investment transfers * Ownership Model + Freehold Ownership - Individual title ownership - Corporate title ownership + Leasehold and Long-Term Use - Commercial leasehold interests - Development and operating concessions + Joint Development - Landowner-developer partnerships - Revenue-sharing development models + Public-Private Development - Government land development - Special economic zone projects * Geography + Amman - West and central Amman - North, east and south Amman corridors + Northern Governorates - Irbid urban market - Jerash, Ajloun and Mafraq markets + Central Governorates - Zarqa and Russeifa - Balqa and Madaba + Southern Governorates - Aqaba tourism and logistics market - Karak, Tafilah and Ma'an markets --- ## Market Trajectory # Jordan Real Estate Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Asset Type, Property Type & Buyer Type, 2026-2031 **Geography:** Jordan | **Historical Period:** 2020-2025 | **Forecast Period:** 2026-2031 Jordan's registered real estate transaction market reached USD 10,125 million in 2025, supported by concentrated urban demand, improving construction activity and renewed investor participation.

Trading value rose 46.90% in 2021 as market activity normalized, followed by double-digit expansion in 2022 and 2023. The 2024 decline reflected higher borrowing costs and investor caution rather than a collapse in underlying housing demand. By 2025, licensed building area had reached 10.26 million square meters and registered transaction value had surpassed its previous cycle peak. ### Forecast Market Outlook (2026-2031) Forecast growth is expected to become less volatile and more dependent on household formation, infrastructure delivery and project-specific absorption. The market is projected to reach USD 13,783 million by 2031 at a 5.27% CAGR. Growth is expected to accelerate after 2026 as completed residential inventory, improving registration technology and mixed-use investment increase transaction velocity. Average value growth should remain moderate, limiting the risk of a broad speculative pricing cycle. --- ## Market Breakdown # CHAPTER 4 - Market Breakdown The Jordan Real Estate Market is entering a more selective growth phase in which transaction velocity, unit affordability and residential supply conversion will matter more than headline price escalation. CEOs and investors should monitor both registered market value and the operating indicators that determine absorption quality. | Year | Market Size (USD Mn) | YoY Growth (%) | Property Transactions ('000) | Average Transaction Value (USD '000) | Residential Share (%) | Period | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2020 | 4,821 | -31.90% | 75 | 64.3 | 64.0% | Historical | | 2021 | 7,082 | 46.90% | 105 | 67.4 | 63.8% | Historical | | 2022 | 8,578 | 21.12% | 119 | 72.1 | 63.5% | Historical | | 2023 | 9,731 | 13.44% | 128 | 76.0 | 63.1% | Historical | | 2024 | 9,450 | -2.89% | 124 | 76.2 | 62.8% | Historical | | 2025 | 10,125 | 7.14% | 132 | 76.7 | 62.4% | Base Year | | 2026 | 10,398 | 2.70% | 137 | 75.9 | 62.6% | Forecast and Latest Operating KPIs | | 2027 | 10,918 | 5.00% | 142 | 76.9 | 62.8% | Forecast and Industry Outlook | | 2028 | 11,518 | 5.50% | 149 | 77.3 | 63.0% | Forecast and Industry Outlook | | 2029 | 12,186 | 5.80% | 156 | 78.1 | 63.1% | Forecast and Industry Outlook | | 2030 | 12,942 | 6.20% | 164 | 78.9 | 63.2% | Forecast and Industry Outlook | | 2031 | 13,783 | 6.50% | 173 | 79.7 | 63.3% | Forecast and Industry Outlook | **KPI 1, Property Transactions:** **62,023 properties, H1 2026, Jordan**. Transaction count is the clearest indicator of liquidity and brokerage opportunity. H1 sales declined 8%, signaling that developers should prioritize conversion rates and inventory turnover before raising launch prices. **KPI 2, Average Transaction Value:** **JOD 7.179 billion total trading value, 2025, Jordan**. Stable implied transaction values indicate that recent growth was driven mainly by market activity rather than aggressive nationwide price inflation, favoring volume-led business models and smaller unit configurations. **KPI 3, Residential Share:** **8.01 million square meters licensed for residential use, 2025, Jordan**. Residential development remains the primary supply pool, supporting contractors and housing developers while increasing the need for neighborhood-level differentiation, financing partnerships and disciplined project phasing. --- --- ## Market Segmentation # CHAPTER 5 - Market Segmentation Framework Comprehensive analysis across key dimensions providing insights into market structure, consumer preferences, and distribution patterns. | | | | | --- | --- | --- | | **No of Segments:** 7 | **Dominant Segment:** Asset Type | **Fastest Growing Segment:** Transaction Type | ### Segmentation Framework | Priority | Level-1 Segment / Taxonomy Dimension | Level-2 Sub-Segments | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Asset Type | Residential Assets; Commercial Assets; Industrial and Logistics Assets; Hospitality and Mixed-Use Assets | | 2 | Property Type | Apartments; Villas and Townhouses; Offices and Retail Units; Warehouses and Hospitality Units | | 3 | Buyer Type | Jordanian Households; Domestic Investors; Corporate and Institutional Buyers; Non-Jordanian Buyers | | 4 | Price Tier | Affordable; Mid-Market; Premium; Luxury | | 5 | Transaction Type | Primary Developer Sales; Secondary Market Sales; Land Transactions; Leasing and Income Transactions | | 6 | Ownership Model | Freehold Ownership; Leasehold and Long-Term Use; Joint Development; Public-Private Development | | 7 | Geography | Amman; Northern Governorates; Central Governorates; Southern Governorates | ### Key Segmentation Takeaways Comprehensive analysis across all extracted segmentation dimensions providing insights into market structure, consumer preferences, and distribution patterns. **Asset Type** - Residential assets dominate because household purchases, replacement demand and small-investor acquisitions generate the broadest transaction base. Apartments are the largest Level-2 pool due to lower ticket sizes and compatibility with dense urban development. Commercial and hospitality assets remain more cyclical, requiring stronger tenant visibility, tourism demand or mixed-use integration to achieve comparable liquidity. **Transaction Type** - Primary developer sales are expected to outpace the overall market as licensed residential supply converts into completed projects and developers introduce phased-payment structures. Secondary transactions will remain essential for liquidity, while serviced land sales should benefit from infrastructure expansion. The strongest operators will combine primary sales, recurring property management and joint-development economics rather than depend on one-time land appreciation. --- ## Regional Analysis # CHAPTER 6 - Regional Analysis Jordan ranks as a mid-sized real estate transaction market among selected Levant and Middle Eastern peers. Its USD 10,125 million 2025 market is smaller than Egypt and Iraq but benefits from high urbanization, established land registration and concentrated demand in Amman. ### KPI Summary * Focus Country Ranking: **3rd** * Focus Country Market Size: **USD 10,125 Mn** * Jordan CAGR (2026-2031): **5.27%** | Country | Market Size | CAGR (%) | Urban Population (% of Total) | Construction Value Added (% of GDP) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Jordan | USD 10,125 Mn | 5.27% | 93% | 3.1% | | Egypt | USD 33,500 Mn | 8.10% | 43% | 7.0% | | Iraq | USD 17,200 Mn | 7.20% | 70% | 4.8% | | Oman | USD 8,900 Mn | 4.90% | 79% | 4.2% | | Lebanon | USD 4,200 Mn | 3.80% | 91% | 3.5% | ### Market Position Jordan ranks third among the selected peers, with 2025 registered transaction value of USD 10,125 million.

Comprehensive analysis of key factors shaping the market, including growth catalysts, operational challenges, and emerging opportunities across production, distribution, and consumer segments. --- ## Growth Drivers # CHAPTER 7 - Growth Drivers, Challenges & Opportunities Comprehensive analysis of key factors shaping the Jordan Real Estate Market, including growth catalysts, operational challenges, and emerging opportunities across development, transactions, financing and property operations. ## Growth Drivers ### Urban Household Concentration Jordan's **93% urbanization rate (2024, Jordan)** concentrates housing demand in established metropolitan corridors and supports transaction liquidity. * **Approximately 70% of trading volume (2021, Amman)** was concentrated in Amman, enabling developers to target deeper buyer pools and more liquid resale markets. * **11.302 million residents (2022, Jordan)** created a large structural need for housing, retail services and employment-linked property across the capital and secondary cities. * **93% urban population (2024, Jordan)** improves infrastructure efficiency but raises serviced-land scarcity, favoring infill projects and higher-density apartment formats. ### Expanding Licensed Development Pipeline Licensed building area reached **10.26 million square meters (2025, Jordan)**, establishing a visible supply pipeline for developers and contractors. * Total licensed area increased by **13.6% (2025, Jordan)**, supporting future primary sales, construction employment and demand for building materials and finance. * The number of permits rose to **26,717 permits (2025, Jordan)**, indicating wider project initiation across residential and non-residential categories. * Residential space accounted for **8.01 million square meters (2025, Jordan)**, creating the largest monetizable pipeline for housing developers, mortgage lenders and brokers. ### Registration Digitization and Market Transparency Digital property services are reducing transaction friction across a market worth **JOD 7.179 billion (2025, Jordan)**. * The Department of Lands and Survey's smart-plan services provide electronic parcel and administrative-value information, shortening due-diligence cycles for buyers, banks and valuers. * The national real estate price index uses transaction-weighted data across property types and governorates, strengthening pricing discipline and collateral analysis. * Registered trading value increased by **7% (2025, Jordan)**, showing that formal market infrastructure can support higher transaction activity without relying on opaque title systems. --- ## Market Challenges ### Mortgage Affordability and Financing Costs The Central Bank's main policy rate stood at **5.75% (December 2025, Jordan)**, maintaining pressure on mortgage affordability and developer financing. * Higher debt-service costs reduce the maximum property value affordable to salaried households, placing greater importance on compact units and staged-payment structures. * A **5.75% policy rate (2025, Jordan)** raises carrying costs for unsold inventory, increasing the financial penalty associated with delayed completions or weak presales. * Developers without committed construction finance must rely more heavily on purchaser installments, increasing execution risk when buyer conversion slows. ### Transaction Cyclicality and Regional Uncertainty Registered activity fell by approximately **31.9% in 2020**, demonstrating the market's exposure to macroeconomic and regional shocks. * Trading volume declined to **JOD 3.418 billion (2020, Jordan)** before recovering, showing that liquidity can contract faster than underlying housing need. * H1 2026 trading value fell by **3% year on year (2026, Jordan)**, confirming that geopolitical uncertainty can delay discretionary property purchases. * Land sales declined by **9% in H1 2026**, making land-banking strategies more vulnerable than phased, demand-tested residential development. ### Infrastructure and Geographic Concentration The Central Region represented approximately **72% of licensed area (first five months 2026, Jordan)**, increasing concentration and infrastructure pressure. * Centralized supply increases congestion and serviced-land costs, while developers outside Amman face thinner absorption and lower secondary-market liquidity. * New-build and addition space declined by **14% in the first five months of 2026**, indicating that part of permit growth reflected legalization of existing structures rather than new supply. * Water infrastructure remains essential for urban expansion; the Aqaba-Amman project targets **300 million cubic meters annually**, but delivery requires major capital and long construction timelines. --- ## Market Opportunities ### Affordable and Mid-Market Residential Development Residential licensed space reached **8.01 million square meters (2025, Jordan)**, creating a scalable pipeline for affordable and mid-market housing. * Developers can monetize demand through smaller apartments, standardized specifications and phased delivery, improving inventory turns and reducing buyer deposits. * Mortgage lenders, housing developers and building-material suppliers benefit from the depth of Jordan's urban household base and recurring replacement demand. * Faster permit approvals, lower development fees and longer-tenor finance would be required to translate licensed land into units affordable to middle-income households. ### Aqaba Tourism and Mixed-Use Investment Aqaba offers differentiated exposure through tourism, waterfront housing and projects covering up to **2 million square meters**. * Waterfront residences, hospitality units, retail leasing and marina services provide multiple revenue pools within integrated destination projects. * Developers, hotel operators, tourism investors and property managers benefit from Aqaba's special-economic-zone positioning and regional leisure demand. * Additional water, transport and utility capacity must accompany destination growth; the planned desalination system targets **50 million cubic meters annually for Aqaba**. ### Digital Transactions and Property Services Jordan's **JOD 7.179 billion market (2025)** creates monetizable demand for digital brokerage, valuation, documentation and property-management services. * Proptech platforms can earn listing, lead-generation, valuation, mortgage-referral and transaction-support revenue while improving price discovery for fragmented inventory. * Banks, brokers, valuers and developers benefit from electronic parcel information and standardized transaction indices that reduce due-diligence time. * Interoperable digital identity, electronic signatures and lender-connected property records would be needed to complete end-to-end digital transactions. --- --- ## Competitive Landscape # CHAPTER 8 - Competitive Landscape Overview The market combines a small group of large mixed-use developers with thousands of local housing developers, creating high fragmentation below the flagship-project tier and significant variation in execution capability. * **Key players:** 10 * **New Entrants (last 5 yrs):** 6 ### Company Profiles (Top 10 Players) | Company Name | Market Share | Headquarters | Founding Year | Core Market Focus | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Abdali Investment and Development PSC | - | Amman, Jordan | 2004 | Large-scale mixed-use, office, retail, residential and hospitality development | | Eagle Hills Jordan | - | Amman, Jordan | 2015 | Integrated lifestyle communities, premium residential and hospitality projects | | Ayla Oasis Development Company | - | Aqaba, Jordan | - | Waterfront residential, marina, hospitality, retail and leisure development | | Jordanian Real Estate Company for Development | - | Amman, Jordan | 1972 | Residential, commercial and mixed-use property development | | National Real Estate Company Jordan | - | Aqaba, Jordan | 2006 | Large-scale land and mixed-use development in Aqaba | | Taameer Jordan Holdings | - | Amman, Jordan | 2005 | Residential communities, commercial assets and development land | | Al Tajamouat for Touristic Projects | - | Amman, Jordan | - | Tourism, hospitality and income-generating property assets | | Jordan Decapolis Properties | - | Amman, Jordan | - | Land development, property investment and mixed-use projects | | Dr. Samer Al-Shafie Housing Co. | - | Amman, Jordan | 2010 | Urban apartment development and residential construction | | Aqaba Development Corporation | - | Aqaba, Jordan | 2004 | Strategic land development, infrastructure and public-private investment facilitation | The report provides detailed cross-comparison of key players across 4 performance parameters to identify competitive strengths and weaknesses. ### Top 4 Cross-Comparison KPIs * Residential Units Delivered * Development Pipeline Area * Project Revenue Growth * Operating Margin ### Analysis Covered * **Market Share Analysis:** Compares transaction exposure across residential, commercial and mixed-use asset pools. * **Cross Comparison Matrix:** Benchmarks delivery scale, pipeline depth, revenue growth and margins. * **SWOT Analysis:** Evaluates land access, execution capability, financing resilience and absorption risk. * **Pricing Strategy Analysis:** Assesses unit positioning, payment plans, premiums and discounting discipline. * **Company Profiles:** Reviews portfolios, development focus, geographic reach and strategic positioning. --- --- ##

Frequently Asked Questions # CHAPTER 12 - FAQs #### Q: What was the size of the Jordan Real Estate Market in 2025? **A:** The Jordan Real Estate Market was valued at USD 10,125 million in 2025, measured as the gross value of registered property transactions across residential, commercial, industrial, hospitality, mixed-use and land assets. The estimate incorporates primary developer sales and secondary transfers while excluding mortgage principal and construction-contracting revenue. Market activity recovered from the 2024 slowdown as registered trading value increased by approximately 7%, supported by residential transactions and a larger licensed development pipeline. **Data used:** USD 10,125 million market size in 2025; JOD 7.179 billion registered trading value in 2025. **So what:** Investors should use transaction value and absorption as the primary indicators of accessible demand rather than equating the market with total national property stock. #### Q: How fast will the Jordan Real Estate Market grow through 2031? **A:** The market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.27% during 2026-2031, reaching USD 13,783 million by 2031. Growth is expected to be moderate in 2026 because of financing costs and softer transaction activity, before strengthening as residential permits convert into completed units. Digitized registration, infrastructure investment and expanding mixed-use development should support transaction velocity, while affordability constraints will limit broad-based price escalation. **Data used:** 5.27% forecast CAGR during 2026-2031; USD 13,783 million forecast market size in 2031. **So what:** Developers should prioritize phased delivery and recurring transaction volume over strategies dependent on rapid land-price inflation. #### Q: Where will the largest real estate profit pools shift? **A:** Profit pools are expected to shift toward mid-market apartments, serviced development plots, mixed-use destination projects and recurring property services. Apartment formats benefit from lower customer ticket sizes, while serviced land reduces infrastructure uncertainty for builders. Aqaba offers higher-margin tourism and waterfront opportunities, but requires longer development horizons. Property management, digital brokerage, valuation and mortgage-referral services should also capture a growing share of value as the market formalizes and digitizes. **Data used:** 8.01 million square meters of residential licensed area in 2025; 93% national urbanization in 2024. **So what:** Companies should combine development margins with property management, brokerage or financing-related revenue to improve cash-flow resilience. #### Q: What is the principal risk facing real estate investors in Jordan? **A:** The primary risk is a mismatch between development cost, buyer affordability and transaction liquidity. Higher financing costs reduce mortgage capacity and increase the carrying cost of unsold inventory. Regional uncertainty can also delay discretionary purchases, particularly for land and premium assets. The market's concentration in Amman creates additional pressure on serviced-land prices, infrastructure and project differentiation, while secondary-city projects may face slower absorption. **Data used:** 5.75% Central Bank main rate in December 2025; 3% decline in H1 2026 transaction value. **So what:** Investment committees should stress-test sales velocity, financing duration and pricing under delayed-absorption scenarios before approving land acquisition. #### Q: How does Jordan compare with nearby real estate markets? **A:** Jordan is a mid-sized market among selected Middle Eastern peers. Its modeled 2025 transaction value is below Egypt and Iraq but above Oman and Lebanon. Jordan's competitive advantages include high urbanization, formal land registration and concentrated demand in Amman. Its 5.27% forecast CAGR is moderate rather than speculative, which supports stable development economics but limits opportunities based solely on rapid capital appreciation. **Data used:** Third position among five selected peers in 2025; 5.27% forecast CAGR during 2026-2031. **So what:** Regional investors should position Jordan as a stability and income-oriented allocation rather than a high-volatility development market. #### Q: What demand factors will shape the market most strongly? **A:** Urban household formation, apartment affordability, construction completions and infrastructure investment will be the strongest demand factors. Jordan's urban concentration supports housing and neighborhood commercial demand, while population growth sustains long-term requirements for residential stock. The expansion of licensed building area provides future supply, but actual transaction growth will depend on unit configuration, mortgage availability and location.
