The Bahrain real estate market has shown remarkable resilience and growth in the first quarter of 2026. Transaction volumes have increased by 15% compared to the same period last year, driven largely by residential villa sales in the Northern Directorate and high-end apartment purchases in the Capital.
Rental yields remain competitive, averaging 6-8% for residential properties in prime areas like Seef and Juffair. The commercial sector is also witnessing a revival, with occupancy rates in Grade A office spaces reaching pre-pandemic levels.
Analysts predict a steady upward trajectory for the remainder of the year, supported by government initiatives to attract foreign investment and the relaxation of visa regulations for property owners.
