Egypt is among the markets that have given ground: $1,136 per square metre on average, -11.2% in dollar terms over twelve months. That makes it the 69th most expensive of the 70 markets in the set.
What a buyer pays in Egypt
The $1,136 figure is a local-market average across all residential property types: it describes the capital's market, not the country as a whole — most of the country trades well below it. Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 11.5% of the price here. On a 100 m² apartment at the average price that is roughly $13,064 on top of the $113,600 purchase price. That is above the 9.5% median across the set — the entry cost is part of the investment case here.
What it earns
Long-term letting returns about 7.6% gross on the purchase price, 9th of 69 markets by gross yield. Measured against local earnings, the price-to-income ratio is 20.1 — that is how many years of an average local income one average home costs, and it says more about who can buy here than any price figure does.
