Recovery in residential demand
Market analysis shows that after a period of price corrections, residential demand began to recover in early 2024, with transaction volumes up 30 percent year-on-year in the first two months and values rising by 46 percent. This rebound was driven mainly by owner-occupiers, with flexible payment plans in new developments—especially in Lusail—encouraging more residents to buy rather than rent. In Q1 2024, the total residential stock reached around 394,000 units, and an additional 9,200 units are expected to be delivered by the end of the year, 40 percent of which will be in Lusail. Major new projects, such as the Janoub Garden Residence, are set to further expand housing options.
In June 2025, the market maintained its momentum, with real estate transactions exceeding QAR1 billion in the first week alone. Sales remained concentrated in Doha, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah, and other key municipalities, reflecting sustained interest across a broad range of property types, including vacant lands, homes, apartment buildings, and commercial assets.
