Hi, I'm from Malaysia who is planning to move to Jordan and working as an accounting lecturer.
Am I eligible to buy a house or land at Jordan?
What is the average price for house there (average house not too big or small).

Hi
my name is Sam
Lebanese living in Jordan
Yes you can buy a home or land in Jordan but you might need some governmental approvals which is not hard to get
The prices for 150 sqm houses in an acceptable aria in Amman is about 100,000 USD

hope the information is helpful

Thanks Sam.. I really appreciate ur response.聽

Can a foreigner get a house loan from the bank? Because in Malaysia, we can get a house loan to buy house. What about Jordan?

100,000 USD will get you an apartment or flat, not necessarily a single family house. At least in Amman, I can't speak for other areas.

If you read the article quite well you know now you can buy AFTER the permission of the ministry. If you want to know if you can change your visa I would go to ministry of internal affairs or the immigration office to get the best information.

Hello, according my good experience in real estate business in Jordan, actually you have first to find the land or flat to buy then you report to ministry of interior for approval, ****

I bought an apartment (new) without having a visa. Not aware that any government approval was necessary. Was the easiest procedure ever!

The problem is that information online is outdated or not complete so better show your face in front of the desk at the right institution.
Of course when you are in Jordan.
