Asking prices from source listings on REONE, as of 2026-10-04, with mistyped outlier listings excluded. They are not sale prices; confirm the current price with the developer or a consultant.
For every area, property type and page, the Egypt real estate Market Index keeps the same figures up to date.
Why price per m² is the number to compare
A total price mixes two things: where the unit is and how big it is. Dividing by the built-up area removes the size, so a 120 m² apartment and a 200 m² apartment in the same compound can be compared directly. The median is used rather than the average because a handful of very expensive or mistyped listings would pull an average up or down.
What moves the price inside the same area
- Delivery date. Units that are ready to move usually ask more than the same unit delivering in three or four years, because you pay for waiting time with the longer plan.
- Payment plan. A longer installment period or a lower down payment often comes with a higher total price. Compare plans with the payment calculator, not only the headline price.
- Finishing. Fully finished, semi-finished and core-and-shell units are priced differently. Check which one a listing means.
- Compound and developer. Track record, amenities and how much of the compound is already built all show up in the price.
- Floor, view and garden. Ground floors with gardens, penthouses and units facing open space usually ask more per m².
How to use these figures
- Start from the area median. If a unit asks far more or far less per m² than its area, ask why before anything else.
- Compare like with like. Match the delivery date, finishing and payment plan before comparing two prices.
- Get the current price in writing. Listings change. Ask the developer or a consultant for today's price and plan before you reserve.
- Ask Zaki. The REONE AI real estate agent can compare a unit's price per m² with its area's median for you, in English or Egyptian Arabic.
What these numbers are not
These are asking prices from listed units. They are not completed sales, bank valuations or forecasts, and they change as listings change. Always confirm price, availability and terms before you decide.
