Egyptian real estate market in 2025
After rate hikes and EGP volatility, the Egyptian buyer has become more deliberate. Average buying journey is now 47 touchpoints before a serious lead. Traditional marketing is no longer enough.
Multi-stage lead generation strategy
- Stage 1 (Awareness): drone tours on TikTok and Instagram Reels.
- Stage 2 (Interest): lead magnets — financing calculator, area guide.
- Stage 3 (Consideration): Google Ads on "apartments for sale in [area]".
- Stage 4 (Decision): WhatsApp follow-up within 5 minutes of lead.
North Coast: different rules
North Coast buyers decide in a short window (Jan-Mar). Focus ads in those 90 days with emotional messaging (life, summer, family) over specs.

- Lead-to-site-visit conversion: 12%+.
