Tehran housing market affordability crisis

Overview

The housing market in Tehran is experiencing extreme price surges and a widening gap between property costs and household income. In luxury districts such as Aghdasieh, Elahiyeh, Tajrish, Vanak, and Pasdaran, real estate valuations have reached unprecedented levels. Some luxury projects have seen prices exceed 2.5 billion tomans per square meter, with some advertisements even incorporating US dollar rates.

This inflation has created a severe affordability crisis for both renters and buyers. In certain districts, monthly rents and required deposits have reached record highs. Experts note that the disparity between wages and housing costs is so significant that, based on current market rates, it could take between 116 and 133 years for a worker earning the minimum wage to afford an 80-square-meter apartment, a timeline that exceeds the national life expectancy.
