I have been searching the net for current prices of land in certain areas of Bahrain; all I could find was this chart from Arabian Homes dated June 2005. Does anyone have another source because some of these commercial prices seen to be the very low estimate.

I want to buy land. Do u guys know where i can find a residantial piece of land for around 5,000 dinnar. im dead serious.

is there a land that cost 5,000 dinar there? :runaway:

am serious too.

For BD 5000 you’re looking at a piece of land that’s really too small to even build a house, and therefore it’s not even a good investment. If you’re looking for good residential area to live in or just buy as an investment, then around Saar and Al Janabiya is a good idea. They are really rising sharply. If you got a little bit more money then Busaytin is your best buy there is so much demand for residential prosperities around that area, and that demand will increase with the completion of Amwaj. Either way your looking at a figure of at the very least BD 15,000, and that’s not even in the areas I mentioned.

These are more realistic prices and they will definitely go up too. Sure beats the interest on a fixed deposit account in a bank.

Saar and janbiya are old news so is bustain. Those who bought in these lands ten or so years ago are the ones benefiting those buying today arent going to benefit as much.

Your right i think 5,000 BD is better off somewhere else than a land. I wish I could only have a spare 100,000 riyal to put in a land. Damn u stock market .. damnnnnnn u

those prices are still way cheap.

Do u want me to lend u Qatar4ever :lol:

Some parts of Saar, i hear, are expected to really skyrocket with the Janahi Towers (12 or 16, i think 12 towers) being in the vicinity...

Saar and janbiya are old news so is bustain.

That’s not true you can expect up to a 30% rise in price of land in a single year, in some parts of Janabiya.

Anyways doesn’t anybody have another source for prices? Cause I heard that Seef area reached BD 85 per square foot and I wanted to confirm.

yeah but anyways ai cant afford land in saar and janbiya..

BD 5000 won't get you anythin really today, as people mentioned, you can't really build anythin on it unless you want it to be the thinnest house in Bahrain (Amsterdam style) ;).

The Bahrain market is 40% cheaper than Dubai which is an advantage really, but the market is rapidly hottin up.

educate the fools...:D 1 BD = how many dollars?

educate the fools...:D 1 BD = how many dollars?

1 BD= 2.645 USD
1 USD= 0.378 BD
It's a fixed exchange rates, cuz the Bahraini Dinar is pegged to the dollar...

^^ Thanx :)

is there a land that cost 5,000 dinar there? :runaway:

am serious too.


You would better go to Oman with this budget.

250. for around the 500 m2. I think thats a good price you can build a small house on that peace of land and sell it and make about 60 precent profit and if you wait you will even make more profit.

Do you wanna know what would be smart. To invest in Turkey you can buy there a house in Antalya for about 100. thousend euro's and the next year you go on holiday to turkey your house is worth about 120. thousend euro's or maybe more!

And did you think about the FX rate which is inconstant for TRY ? you may make capital gain with FX loss ! its Turkish Lira after all.

i think thesen prices are 18 months ago....Jidhafs listed above for residential 6-9 while i have bought a land for 13!!

Yeah I know they aren’t accurate and updated; that’s why I was asking if anyone had another source.

well turkish lira is stablized a bit and you buy and you sell in euro's (i went on holiday and i didnt spend one lira i only spended euro's)

EUR is also instable agst USD.

Well I think that Shias can't live in Riffa as far as am concerned, this might sound crazy but I think it's true, that's why you probably need approval. It's bs really.

3asho ahl al Riffa3 :rofl:

Riffa is really far for me, i will never think of it as a place of residence !

Laish were do you live that makes it too far? Muharraq?

I live in Manama !

Come on moody... i live in Riffa, it's not far at all.

I live at the beginning of Riffa (16 dec highway), doesn't take you that long to get to manama, 10 mins if there is no traffic.

so we all live in riffa .. koolness

Hi,

May I know if the land price include infrastructure and services i./e sewage Electrical, water? Or does the buyer need to pay additional to get these services connected to the plot after one has built a house on the land?

Yes you have to pay for electricity but not much.

Land prices are BD per sq foot

Thank you Adel for the update...This info is valuable for your truly.Some of the ranges are extremely high is it because of how high you can go at some of these places ??

Actually after I saw your comment I checked prices again and you are right, I seem to put only the high range for Seef. It should be 45 - 75 for 10F max Seef non commercial plots. 85 -180 for 10F+ Commercial Seef plots. By Seef I mean the area north of Seef and Aali mall only. Re Juffair BD 60 is for the commercial plots near Costa and the plots near the enterance of Juffair on Awal road.

Plot with Private Beach Facing the sea in Amwaj Island
Island B, lot # 394
Area: 4920qft
Selling Price: 34 per foot

Seef plots sell like hot cakes

By MARK SUMMERS

MANAMA

LAND in the Seef area is the most sought after in Bahrain, real estate experts said yesterday. They were commenting on a new survey revealing that plots in the upmarket location are being sold for up to BD110 per square foot.

Luxury apartment and hotel operators Elite Group executive director Ninad Shah told GDN that the attractions of Seef are such that his firm was set to announce two new properties in the area, despite the rising cost of land.

"It is by far the most sought after area," he said.

"It is close to Saudi Arabia, and it is fast developing into a very good hub of activity in terms of shopping, commercial activities and entertainment for the family."

According to a recent appraisal of Bahrain's real estate sector by Kuwait-based Global Investment House (GIH) the country's land prices have appreciated three to four times in value in recent years, with the most expensive plots in Seef.

Elite Group currently operates three properties in Seef - Elite Seef Residences, Elite Tower and Elite Grande - and also manages Elite Suites in nearby Sanabis.

"We opened our first property in Seef in 2002 - and by anybody's standards that was a little bit early," said Mr Shah.

"Seef was almost barren apart from the Ritz-Carlton Bahrain Hotel and Spa on one side and Seef Mall on the other."

He said his firm's policy of establishing themselves in undeveloped areas before its rivals had been vindicated with the subsequent rush by developers.

"Bahrain in general, and Seef in particular, are full of potential," added Mr Shah.

The GIH report shows prices have risen from BD2.500 to BD10 per sqft in residential areas such as Saar and Budaiya, and reveals land now averages between BD15 and BD22 per sqft in Manama. Land in Juffair that was selling for BD4 and BD5 per sqft just a year ago is now being sold for BD25 and BD37.

Seef has recorded the highest price appreciation in Bahrain with prices now as high as BD88 to BD110 per sqft.

"Land prices in Bahrain have shot up on the back of speculative activity by GCC investors trading in the market, and we expect the trend to continue on the back of high liquidity levels in the GCC region," the report's authors note.

The use of land in Seef for commercial offices is likely to be attributing to high prices, mortgage finance firm Sakana chief executive R Lakshmanan told the GDN.

"Seef is a mixed use area - there is quite a bit of commercial activity in there," said Mr Lakshmanan.

"In terms of the market, there are issues regarding land in Bahrain because there is limited availability.

"There may be more if there is further reclamation."

Asked if he thought rising prices would hamper investment in Bahrain, he said that for the next three years prices will rise.

"But they are still good when you compare them with elsewhere in the region," said Mr Lakshmanan.

The demand for land in Bahrain in general, and Seef in particular, shows no sign of relenting.

"We have a couple of projects planned for the area - I am afraid I am not at liberty to discuss them at the moment other than to say in around a month we hope to unveil a new commercial tower development in Seef," Mr Shah said.
