Real estate transactions fall to JD513 million in January
Real estate trading activity in Jordan eased at the start of the year, with the total value of transactions reaching about JD 513 million by the end of January, a 6% decline compared with the same month in 2025, according to official figures.
A monthly report issued by the Department of Lands and Survey showed that the slowdown in market activity contrasted with a modest rise in fiscal returns, as government revenues from real estate transactions increased 1% year on year to around JD 26 million.
Transaction volumes weakened markedly during the month. Overall property sales fell 21% compared with January 2025, reflecting softer demand across key segments of the market. Apartment sales declined by 16%, while land transactions recorded a steeper drop of 23%, the report said.
Corporate activity remained limited, with a total of 705 properties sold to companies during January.
Demand from non-Jordanian buyers also softened slightly. The number of ownership transactions by foreign buyers declined by 1% year on year, although the composition shifted, with apartment purchases rising 11% while land purchases fell 15% compared with the same month last year. Petra
