Property Auctions in Kuwait City Jump 12 Points in June

Clearance rates at Kuwait City property auctions reached 74 percent in June 2026, up from 62 percent the previous month.

The increase reflects tighter supply in several established districts and steady interest from local buyers who continue to seek residential units priced between 180,000 and 320,000 Kuwaiti dinars. Auction houses report that fewer lots carried reserve prices above 400,000 dinars, which helped more parcels move during the bidding sessions held at the end of each week.

Two venues hosted the bulk of activity. The Kuwait Chamber of Commerce building in Sharq staged the largest single-day sale on 18 June, while the Ministry of Justice auction hall near Jabriya handled weekly residential clearances. Both sites recorded higher sell-through than in May, when several high-value plots in Shuwaikh remained unsold.

June Figures and Price Points

Official records list 87 residential lots offered across four sessions in June. Sixty-four lots cleared, generating 19.8 million dinars in total sales. The average cleared price stood at 309,000 dinars, 8 percent below the May average. Three plots on Salem Al-Mubarak Street in Salmiya sold above reserve within the first hour of bidding on 25 June, each fetching between 265,000 and 285,000 dinars.

Clearance rates improved most sharply for apartments under 250 square metres. In Hawally, 19 of 22 such units found buyers. Larger villas in Abdullah Al-Salem showed a more modest 68 percent clearance, with four lots passed in during the final session of the month.

Next Steps for Buyers and Sellers

July listings open for registration on 14 July through the Real Estate Registration Department portal. Prospective bidders should review the updated catalogue for lots in Qortuba and Surra, where clearance rates have tracked above the city average for three consecutive months. Sellers planning to set reserves above 350,000 dinars may want to adjust expectations after June results showed stronger movement at lower price bands.
