Qatar property market records QR2.25bn in July sales as transaction values surge 66%

Qatari real estate sales reached QR2.25bn in July 2026, a 17.0% increase from the previous month's QR1.92bn, according to official data from the Ministry of Justice. The surge followed an abbreviated trading calendar due to the passing of the country's leader. Despite government registrations being suspended for four days, transaction values surged 66.3% month-on-month to an average of QR4.64mn per deal, up from QR2.79mn in June.

The top-performing sectors were villas and single-family homes, accounting for 37.1% of all sales and a median price of QR2.73mn. Vacant land followed at 26.1%, while commercial and residential buildings made up 24.4% of the market. The largest deal was a commercial building in Al Sadd valued at QR130mn. Apartment sales, totaling QR197.8mn, saw heavy foreign investment in freehold and usufruct zones, with The Pearl Island absorbing 83.8% of the market value.
