How these figures are worked out

These are asking rents: what landlords advertise on Tamlik, not the rent finally agreed or registered. Half of the listings in each group ask more than the median and half ask less.
An area, and each bedroom row, needs at least 5 listings with a monthly price. Anything smaller is left out, not estimated.
Commercial rents quoted per square metre are excluded. A property offered for both rent and sale counts once, with its rent. Medians are rounded to the nearest rial.
Muscat means the Muscat Governorate areas used by Tamlik's listing search. The mix of listings changes every day, so a different median can reflect which homes are listed rather than a change in market rents.
Snapshot date: 19 October 2026. The table is recalculated from live listings every few hours.

Profit Compass research dataset

Where prices are.
Where rents moved.

The sections below come from a separate research dataset of 4,590 listing records, with the latest record dated 17 March 2026. It is not Tamlik's live inventory, it is not refreshed with the table above, and the two should not be compared figure for figure.

01 Price per sqm

Sale price per square metre

Median asking price divided by listed size for each area with enough active sale listings to produce a reliable figure. Areas with fewer than five qualifying listings are excluded.

Methodology

Source: Tamlik market dataset. Each bar is the median asking price per square metre for sale listings that report a size above 20 sqm. Areas with fewer than 5 such listings are left out. About 21.5% of listings have no size, so some areas may be under-represented.

02 Rent medians

Rent by area and bedroom

Monthly median rent for every area and bedroom count where we have at least three rent listings. The gross yield column divides annualised rent by median sale price for the same segment. Cells marked with a dash indicate insufficient data.

Area	Type	Beds	Rent/mo	Sale	Yield	n (rent)	n (sale)

Most Muscat yields cluster between 5% and 8% gross. Anything above that either reflects thin data or a pricing anomaly worth investigating.

03 Rent trends

Which rents are moving?

Year-over-year rent direction for area and property type combinations with enough data points to draw a trend. A sparkline shows the trajectory; the percentage measures the change from the earliest available year to the latest.

Interpretation

Areas showing steady upward movement with growing sample sizes (n) represent genuine rent inflation. Rising medians from shrinking samples may reflect lower-priced stock being absorbed rather than actual rent increases.

04 Top earners

Highest-yield combos

The area, property type, and bedroom count combinations that produce the highest gross yields in our dataset. Confidence reflects sample depth: strong means 15+ listings on both rent and sale sides, good means 8+, and estimated means fewer.

Caution

High yields from "estimated" confidence segments should be treated as signals, not guarantees. Thin samples can skew medians by one outlier listing.

05 Demand signal

Rent-to-sale ratio

The rent-to-sale ratio counts how many rent listings exist for every sale listing in each area. High ratios signal tenant demand outpacing investor supply. A ratio above 5:1 means renters significantly outnumber buyers. The top 15 areas by ratio are shown.

📊

Source: Tamlik market dataset. Ratios are computed from active listing counts only. A ratio of 1:1 is theoretical balance; most Muscat areas skew toward rental demand.

06 Entry prices

What does it cost to enter?

The lowest current asking price in each area with at least five active sale listings. Where budget range data is available, we also show the 10th-percentile, median, and 90th-percentile prices to give you a fuller picture of what each area actually costs.

Context

Entry prices reflect the cheapest active listing at the time of data refresh. They may represent studios, incomplete units, or off-plan releases. Always verify the specific listing before treating these as a reliable floor.

07 Data limitations

What this data cannot tell you

Every dataset has gaps. Transparency about what is missing is as important as presenting what is available. Here are the known limitations.

Size data (21.5% missing)

About one in five listings does not report a size. This means the price-per-sqm chart (Section 01) is based on a subset, not the full market. Areas where agents commonly omit size will be underrepresented.

ITC zone thin data

Freehold zones like Yiti and Jebel Sifah have limited listing volume. Median prices and yields for these areas may shift significantly with a handful of new listings. Treat small-n figures as directional.

GPS coordinate gaps

Some listings are geocoded to area centroids rather than exact locations. This does not affect price analysis but means map-level comparisons within an area should account for positional imprecision.

Asking vs. transaction prices

All prices are asking prices from active listings. Actual transaction prices are not publicly available in Oman. Expect a negotiation discount of 3% to 10% on most sale listings, more on properties listed for over 90 days.

📐

Use this data as a compass, not a contract.

The figures here reflect what the market is asking. They are useful for relative comparison (which areas are expensive, which yields are high) and for tracking directional trends. They are not a substitute for due diligence on individual properties.
