Tehran Apartment Prices Jump 14% as Housing Market Outpaces Last Year's Growth
Apartment values across the capital climbed 14 percent between April and June, outpacing the 9 percent rise recorded in the same three months of 2025.
How we reported this
Tehran apartment prices posted a 14 percent quarterly increase from April through June, a sharper rise than the 9 percent gain logged in the corresponding period last year.
The stronger growth arrives as regional tensions around the Strait of Hormuz push more capital into domestic property rather than overseas holdings. Families and small investors have shifted funds into bricks and mortar to preserve value amid currency swings, a pattern visible in transaction volumes that rose 22 percent year on year at the Tehran Real Estate Union registry.
Transactions cluster in established northern districts
Activity concentrated along Valiasr Street north of Vanak Square and in the Niavaran district, where mid-sized units between 90 and 120 square metres changed hands most frequently. The Tehran Municipality’s 2025-2027 housing facilitation program, which offers expedited permits for projects near public transport hubs, has also drawn buyers to pockets around Tajrish Square. Local agents report that listings in these corridors cleared within three weeks on average, compared with five weeks in the same stretch of 2025.
Union data released on 6 July show the average price per square metre reached 48 million rials in the second quarter, up from 42 million rials a year earlier. Properties in Elahieh posted the largest single-quarter jump at 17 percent, while units near Milad Tower rose 11 percent. Both figures exceed the city-wide 14 percent median.
Buyers weigh timing ahead of autumn listings
Prospective purchasers should review listings now before new stock from summer completions reaches the market in September. Checking the latest union transaction sheets at district offices and confirming permit status with the municipality can help lock in current pricing before any further quarterly adjustment.
