Overview
Al Khoud sits in Muscat, Oman, currently tracked at OMR 60 per sqft based on estimates compiled from public listing aggregates, adjusted for the typical asking-to-sale gap. A fast-growing residential area anchored by Sultan Qaboos University — Muscat's most budget-friendly area for entry-level buyers and student/staff rental demand.
Typical buyer profile: Budget-conscious investors and buyers targeting student/university rental demand.
The estimated 7.5% rental yield shown above is a gross figure — before service charges, maintenance, vacancy periods, or financing costs. It is a useful way to compare areas against each other, but not a substitute for a property-specific cash-flow calculation. Off-plan share matters because off-plan purchases typically involve a payment plan spread over the construction period and carry different risk and timing considerations than buying a completed, ready-to-rent unit — neither is inherently better, but they suit different buyer situations.
