Recent official data shows that apartment sales surpassed house sales in the number of transactions in the Kingdom of Bahrain during the first quarter of 2026, while houses recorded higher transaction values. Land topped the list of real estate transactions in both number and value, followed by houses, apartments, and buildings, respectively, in terms of total financial value, according to statistics from the Real Estate Information Bank.
