Aqar Exit launches Egypt’s first real estate assignment market index

Aqar Exit has launched Egypt’s first index for the real estate assignment market to track activity in existing property contracts. The index aims to analyze trends in supply, demand, liquidity, and purchasing power, providing verified data to developers, investors, and brokers.

Preliminary data from the platform’s first 28 days of operation, spanning August 8 to September 5, 2026, shows an estimated market value of EGP 72.2 billion for listed units, compared to an original contract value of EGP 53.6 billion. During this period, 9,839 assignment files were opened by 7,225 individual sellers, with 5,045 units listed or under review.

Market activity indicates a growing secondary market for installment-based contracts. Demand was highest for lower-priced units valued below EGP 3 million, which averaged 9.5 purchase requests per unit. The report also noted a “Second-Year Pressure Point,” where 20.7% of cases involving payment-status information included sellers reporting overdue installments.
