Executive Manager-Real Estate Valuation at Kuwait Finance House (KFH), Eng. Hamad Al-Hasawy, said that real estate investment is one of the most important safe havens and a good opportunity to grow wealth with low risk.

He added that this type of investment has shown significant developments across key sectors in Kuwait. For example, the investment real estate market saw high demand in Q2 2025, and it is expected to continue during the coming period.

Al-Hasawy revealed in a press release that the Real Estate Report, issued quarterly by KFH Real Estate Valuation, showed the value of real estate transactions in Q2 2024 reached KD 1.07 billion, an increase of 19.1% compared to Q1 2024. While this increase was observed in most real estate segments, the number of transactions in Q2 2024 rose to 1,463, an increase of 12.4%.

"The value of investment real estate transactions increased to KD 482.6 million in Q2 2025, an increase of 39.7%. Concurrently, the number of deals saw a QoQ increase of 4.5%, reaching 351. This upward trend is likely to continue in the coming period, given investors' withdrawal from alternative investment opportunities and the current economic and geopolitical developments impacting the markets. Investment real estate in Kuwait continues to offer competitive returns compared to other investment avenues. During Q2, return rates ranged between 6.40% and 7.30%, varying based on distinguishing factors across Kuwait's governorates," he added.

Al-Hasawy highlighted the real estate sector's substantial contribution to Kuwait's economy, often second only to the oil sector in terms of GDP. This vital sector is constantly evolving, encompassing residential, commercial, and investment properties. The second quarter of 2025 saw remarkable activity in real estate transactions across all governorates. The KFH Real Estate Report further supports this, indicating an increase in real estate transactions across most sectors, with others remaining stable. This trend underscores the Kuwaiti real estate market's consistent and sustainable growth.

"The increase in real estate development projects and the government's interest in enhancing the sector's activities position Kuwait as one of the most attractive real estate markets in the region," He added.

He also emphasized that real estate valuation is vital to the sector. “It smooths financing processes and guarantees transparent and organized market transactions. This is achieved through a combination of professional expertise and fair assessments that genuinely reflect current market realities and evolving conditions."

Al-Hasawy stressed that KFH's outstanding staff and expertise in real estate valuation are what continuously build significant customer confidence in their appraisal work.

He also noted that KFH's strong organizational framework leads to exceptional market performance, making it the preferred provider for real estate appraisals across all sectors.
