Egypt Real Estate 2028: Inflation, Materials & New Mansoura Opportunities

Since early 2024, Arab economies have faced accelerating inflation across sectors. In Egypt, real estate prices moved up to +45% during 2024, driven largely by rising building-material costs and currency pressures. Below is a concise view of the drivers, expert commentary, and why many buyers are acting now—plus current opportunities in New Mansoura City across residential, hotel, and mixed-use assets.

Market Snapshot: 2024 Price Moves

• Building materials rose noticeably in 2024; iron and cement costs climbed with currency and import constraints.
• Real estate prices increased up to ~45% in 2024 alongside materials inflation.
• Developers reported pricing pressure and temporary sales pauses during periods of high volatility.

Why Did Building Materials Get More Expensive?

• Higher electricity costs
• Increased transportation costs
• Lower production volumes at some factories
• Import difficulties for raw materials
• Hard currency shortages

Indicative Inputs (as provided)

• Iron price increase: up to 3,600 EGP/ton
• Cement price range: 1,900–2,300 (per ton)

Expert Views (as provided):

• Medhat Estefanos (former Cement Division head): cement at 1,900–2,300, sector investments > 2 billion EGP; moves tied to dollar price and global inflation.
• Aser Hamdi (Real Estate Development Chamber): expects up to +40% rise in 2024; iron & cement may represent ~70% of building costs; currency movement passes through to unit pricing.
• Yassin Mansour (Palm Hills): company raised prices ~70–80% in 2023; possible ~60% rise coming; temporary sales halts used to manage pricing risk.
• Abeer Essam (businesswoman): developers pivot to new cities; highlights New Mansoura for its coastal location and upcoming cultural/services growth; notes strong tilt toward hotel investment (hotel apartments/units).

Why Buyers Are Acting Now:

• Locking current prices before further inflation
• Longer repayment horizons at today’s starting values
• Hedging against currency-linked construction cost surges
