Qatar real estate sales rise 21.5% in 39th week

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Aqarat) reported a 21.5% increase in the value of real estate sales transactions in Qatar during the 39th week of 2026, reaching QR654.4 million. Villas accounted for the majority of sales, totaling QR291.7 million, followed by vacant land at QR268.3 million and buildings at QR65.5 million. Al Rayyan led sales by value at QR215.9 million, with Doha and Al Daayen following at QR208.1 million and QR108.2 million, respectively.

Mortgage transactions also rose, with a 18.9% increase week over week and a 166.5% increase year over year to QR978.9 million, largely driven by towers at QR845 million. However, rental contracts and values declined significantly, with a 44.4% decrease week over week and a 73.1% decrease year over year, primarily due to a drop in villa rentals.
