Tilal Al Ghaf: March 2026 Market Report

March recorded a drop in transaction volume following February's strong rebound, with 10 deals recorded across the community — down 58.33% on February. Importantly, a substantial number of these transfers relate to contracts signed in February, prior to the recent regional conflict, and several newly signed agreements have experienced delays in the transfer registration process amid the current climate.
