Real Estate in Oman
Last updated on Jun 03, 2023
Summary: An expat looking to buy a home in Oman should begin by researching the different areas of the country and the types of properties available. They should also consider their budget and the type of amenities they are looking for. Homes in Oman typically include amenities such as air conditioning, swimming pools, and private gardens. Many also have modern kitchens and bathrooms, as well as balconies and terraces. Foreigners are allowed to own property in Oman, but there are certain restrictions. For example, foreigners are not allowed to own land, and they must obtain permission from the government before purchasing a property. Additionally, foreigners are not allowed to rent out their property.
How do I find a place to live in Oman?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Well, I got my accommodation through my employer in decent location. The apartment was spacious and well furnished with all basic amenities provided," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Muscat.
"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Oman is to search online for rental listings. There are many websites that offer listings of apartments, villas, and other types of housing in Oman. Additionally, you can also search for classified ads in local newspapers and magazines. You can also contact real estate agents in Oman who specialize in helping people find rental properties. Additionally, you can also ask friends and family who live in Oman for recommendations," explained one person living in Oman.
