Qatar’s residential real estate sector is poised for expansion, with 4,500 new units scheduled for delivery in H2 2025, according to ValuStrat’s Q2 market review. The majority of completions will be concentrated in Lusail (37%), Al Waab (37%), and The Pearl (24%), building on a base stock of more than 402,000 units across apartments and villas.
Key takeaways from the report include:
-
Transactions: Residential sales surged 30.9% quarter-on-quarter and 62.6% year-on-year, supported by a median ticket size of QAR 2.8 million.
-
Capital values: The ValuStrat Price Index for residential properties rose 2% YoY, with villas gaining 2% quarterly and apartments holding steady.
-
Leasing activity: Over 17,000 apartment leases were signed in Q2, up 51% YoY, while renewals increased 31.5%, indicating tenants’ preference for stability.
-
Rents: Median monthly rents softened slightly, with apartments down 1% QoQ to QAR 5,850 and villas down 1.3% QoQ to QAR 10,750.
The upcoming supply, paired with resilient demand in growth corridors such as Lusail and Al Wakra, reflects a market balancing expansion with selective pressure on rental yields. For investors and occupiers alike, the second half of 2025 will test how new completions reshape pricing, leasing, and absorption across Qatar’s housing landscape.
