Two main charges apply to a normal sale: a land registration fee of 3% of the estimated value, set by the 2023 amendment to the registration fees law, and a property sale tax of 3%, reduced from 4%. Who pays each is agreed between buyer and seller. Agent, lawyer and valuation fees come on top. Confirm current rates with the Department of Lands and Survey. Registration fees explained →

Yes, with permission. The Minister of Interior must approve a non-Jordanian's request to buy property. Reciprocity applies, though holders of Arab nationalities are exempt, and non-Jordanians are barred from owning in border, archaeological and historic areas. The Interior Ministry says these rules have not changed since the 2023 amendments. Law No. 17 of 2026, published in the Official Gazette in September 2026 and in force from about October 2026, also lets non-Jordanians own or lease a private residence outside urban planning zones, up to 10 dunums, with the Finance Minister's approval.

It depends on what you want. Median asking prices run from about JD 1,200 per m² in Abdoun and Dabouq down to roughly JD 810 in Khalda and JD 910 in Al Rabieh, and about JD 670 in Marj Al-Hamam (Hagzi, 10 October 2026). Khalda and Dabouq are popular with families, Shmeisani and Abdali suit central convenience, and outer areas offer lower prices per m². Best areas to live in Amman →

Ready apartments let you inspect exactly what you are paying for and move in sooner. Off-plan can offer a lower entry price or a payment plan, but you carry delivery and developer risk, so check the developer's track record, the permits and the registered title. This is general information, not financial advice. Buying off-plan in Jordan →

Yes. Numbeo's contributors report an average 20-year fixed mortgage rate of about 6.81% in Jordan (updated 2 October 2026). Non-citizens can also borrow, though the process is more involved, so compare several banks on rate, deposit and fees. Mortgages in Jordan →

It is unlikely in Amman proper. In the 716 apartment listings we checked on Hagzi, the cheapest asks JD 45,000 and 10% ask under JD 115,000. Listings around JD 40,000 to 50,000 are usually small or in outer areas, so widen the search to places such as Marj Al-Hamam, Tabarbour or Abu Nuseir. Apartments under JD 100,000 →

Instalment plans are mostly offered by developers and some private sellers, and terms vary widely. Get the payment schedule, penalties and the date the title transfers in writing, and compare the total cost with a bank mortgage at around 6.81%. Apartments for sale →

Yes, in some cases. Under the Cabinet's July 2026 amendments, buying property worth at least JD 200,000 from a developer or housing company, JD 300,000 from another seller, or JD 150,000 outside the Capital Governorate can earn a five-year residency. The property must be kept for five years without being sold or mortgaged, and the Department of Lands and Survey sets its value. Residency by property →

Numbeo's contributors put gross rental yields at about 6.0% in the city centre and 5.1% outside it (updated 2 October 2026). Our own estimates from matching asking rents and asking prices run higher, for example Sweifieh about 10.0%, Abdoun about 9.5%, Khalda about 8.7%, because the rent listings skew furnished and priced at a premium, so treat them as an upper bound. Yields also move with vacancy and the price you pay. Rental yield in Amman →
