Aqar Exit Launches Egypt’s First Real Estate Assignment Market Index

Egyptian proptech platform Aqar Exit has launched what it describes as the country’s first index for the real estate assignment market, based on platform data collected between August 8th and September 5th, 2026.

The report covers 9,839 assignment files, 7,225 individual sellers and 5,045 units listed or under review. Their estimated market value reached LE 72.2 billion, compared with original contract values of LE 53.6 billion.

On the demand side, Aqar Exit recorded 31,992 purchase requests from 17,268 buyers and more than 684,000 listing views. The median time to a first purchase request was 14.6 hours, while 69.1% of units that received interest got their first request within 48 hours.

Demand was strongest for lower-priced units. Listings below LE 3 million averaged 9.5 purchase requests each, compared with 1.6 for properties above LE 20 million. Buyers reported median available cash liquidity of around LE 1 million and median monthly instalment capacity of approximately LE 50,000.

The report also found that around half of sellers had paid roughly 26.8% of the unit’s value by the time of listing, while 88.1% of cases with available contract-age data were within the first two years. Around 31.3% of listed units involved sellers willing to give up part of their expected proceeds for a faster exit, and 20.7% reported overdue instalments.

Aqar Exit also identified around LE 16 billion in unrealised gains across listed units. Founder and CEO Dr. Mahmoud Ammar said the company plans to publish regular reports tracking shifts in supply, demand, liquidity and purchasing power over time.
