Qatar’s real estate market enters 2026 in a steady, increasingly segmented position. ValuStrat’s latest research shows limited movement across most asset classes in H2 2025, with outcomes now driven less by “the market” and more by asset quality, tenant covenant strength, and the pace of new supply.
Residential capital values were flat half-year, but +1.1% YoY with the Residential VPI at 97.6 points, supported by +1.3% villa value growth and demand concentrated in affordable villa communities (notably Ezdan) alongside renewed interest in Huzoom Lusail. Total residential stock reached 404,612 units by end-H2 2025 (255,959 apartments; 148,653 villas).
Offices showed early stabilisation: the rental VPI held steady over H2 and rose +1% vs Q4 2024, with better-performing assets typically pre-committed to government or multinational occupiers. Retail improved modestly in organised malls; Lusail street retail saw increased SME take-up, while a large pipeline may cap near-term growth. Hospitality led: arrivals +3.7% YoY, with ADR +7.2% and RevPAR +11.5% half-yearly, supported by a full events calendar and an expanded 2026 programme. Industrial was stable, with cold storage rents +1.1%.
