It is important to note that rental prices vary depending on factors such as location, design quality, finish, and property age. New properties, which tend to have higher prices, exert pressure on the rental values of older properties on the market. As a result, landlords may increase rents for new tenants when vacancies arise.
Evaluating rental values requires consideration of the overall real estate landscape. Certain areas like Al-Shaab, Al-Mirqab, Bineid Al-Qar, Sharq, and others hold distinct status, influencing rental prices. Conversely, less distinguished areas include Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh, Abu Halifa, and Khaitan.

The phenomenon of furnished real estate has gained traction, especially for upscale properties, affecting rental values. An interesting development is the expansion of rental demand in the inner areas where Kuwaiti citizens reside, driven by elevated real estate prices.

A variety of factors contribute to the fluctuation of rental values across residential areas. In the second quarter of 2023, most areas saw annual variations. With a slight decrease in private housing prices, a commensurate reduction in the rental value of this real estate category was observed.

A significant portion of citizens opted for private housing rentals in anticipation of housing allocations. This led to increased supply, particularly in areas close to workplaces and shopping centers. This uptick in demand stimulated the rental market for this real estate category.
