Property Transactions in Jan-Aug Period Surge on Rising Ownership, Easy Mortgage

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:56 PM on Friday, October 2nd, 2015

PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS IN JAN-AUG PERIOD SURGE ON RISING OWNERSHIP, EASY MORTGAGE

  • Rising trend of property ownership and easy access to mortgage, the sultanate’s real-estate market is witnessing a robust growth this year despite persistent lower oil prices.
  • Total value of property transactions surged 53.2 per cent to RO2.94bn during the period from January–August this year from RO1.91bn in the corresponding period of 2014

MUSCAT –

With the rising trend of property ownership and easy access to mortgage, the sultanate’s real-estate market is witnessing a robust growth this year despite persistent lower oil prices.

The total value of property transactions surged 53.2 per cent to RO2.94bn during the period from January–August this year from RO1.91bn in the corresponding period of 2014.

The sharp rise in transactions comes on the back of robust growth in mortgage contracts. Traded value of mortgage contracts jumped 79.6 per cent to RO2.05bn from RO1.14bn a year ago, statistics released by National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI) showed.

“The growth is more due to a combination of factors including population growth leading to demand-based activity, desire of property ownership in more uncertain economic times and better availability and competitively priced mortgage options,” said Christopher Steel, managing partner at Savills Oman.

“We believe that property ownership is increasing in appeal as there have been a lack of other real investment opportunities for the Oman population at large. There have been no significant rights issues over the period and the stock market is showing signs of sensitivity, therefore property becomes a viable route for investment,” he said.

The number of mortgage contracts rose by 13.2 per cent to 15,001 in the first eight months this year from 13,249 a year earlier.
Steel said mortgages are now more accessible for the population at large with banks and finance houses having tailored their products to meet the requirements of end-borrowers.

“Islamic financing options have certainly appealed to a large segment of the market that previously was not comfortable with traditional mortgage solutions. Also, the financial logic of mortgaging property is now better understood by certain classes of investors.

With most mortgages costing below five per cent per annum and rental returns from most property higher than this, property become basically self financing when geared at circa 70-80 per cent.”

In addition to mortgage transactions, NCSI statistics shows that the traded value of property in sales contracts rose 13.3 per cent to RO867mn from 765mn. The number of sales contracts decreased by 2.3 per cent to 54,220 in first eight months of 2015 compared to 55,521 last year.

Unlike the UAE – where property transaction levels have been falling across Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah – lower oil prices have not been negatively impacting Oman’s property market.

“There has been no discernable negative affect on the property market as a result of lower oil prices. Certainly, a slowdown in some larger infrastructure projects as a result of reduced government expenditure could negatively impact on some areas of secondary real estate but we believe this will be balanced by the push for diversification into other areas of the economy,” Steel said.

The number of properties issued for GCC states citizens dropped by 25 per cent to 1,670 from 2,233 in first eight months of 2014.

Funds, banks show keen interest in $2.5bn Oman project: Omagine

  • With enormous liquidity available in Oman and other GCC countries, investors, funds and banks in the region have shown a high level of interest in Oman’s upcoming US$2.5bn mixed-use tourism and real-estate project knows as the Omagine Project

Muscat – With enormous liquidity available in Oman and other GCC countries, investors, funds and banks in the region have shown a high level of interest in Oman’s upcoming US$2.5bn mixed-use tourism and real-estate project knows as the Omagine Project.

Over the past six months, Omagine LLC has conducted many presentations with sovereign funds, investment funds and high net-worth individuals in Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE, who have indicated a high level of interest in becoming equity investors in the Omagine Project, Omagine Inc said in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday.

Omagine Inc owns a 60 per cent stake in Omagine LLC, which is developing the project.

“We have witnessed a large appetite for both investing in Omagine’s equity and for providing project financing debt facilities for project development,” said Agron Telaku, Omagine’s vice president for finance.

He said banks with which Omagine and its contracting partner CCC have met have indicated that Omagine’s usufruct rights over the project land can and will be utilised as collateral to support project financing debt facilities. “We have also met with several very high net-worth investors who have indicated a high level of interest in becoming equity investors. These investor discussions are ongoing.”

Frank Drohan, managing director and president of Omagine, said, “There is enormous banking liquidity in Oman and the GCC. Over the past six months we have conducted, and will continue to conduct, numerous meetings with major local and international banks. We have witnessed a large appetite at such banks for providing project financing debt facilities for the Omagine Project’s development.”

Omagine LLC signed the usufruct agreement with Oman on July 1, whereby the sultanate’s government granted Omagine certain rights over the 1mn sqm beachfront land, which includes the right to sell the land on freehold basis.

Omagine had contracted three real-estate valuation firms – Savills, DTZ International and JLL – to provide Omagine with the value of the usufruct rights. The average of all three valuations was recorded at RO276.66mn, according to the filing with SEC.

“The registration of the usufruct agreement with the government is a welcome milestone event. Now that we have unfettered access to the land we are rapidly progressing on the development of the Omagine Project and the finalisation of the CCC construction contract,” Drohan said.

He said that the company has conducted exhaustive interviews and has reviewed multiple iterations of proposals from key consultants. “We now expect to be making several crucial consultant appointments in the coming several months, including: A financial advisor, hospitality advisor, real-estate advisor, master planner, engineering consultant, construction management consultant and programme manager.”
