Qatar’s real estate sector maintained an upward trajectory in the first quarter of 2025. Transactions totaled QR4.097 billion across 1,030 deals, according to data from the Ministry of Justice.
January led the quarter with QR1.528 billion in transactions, followed by February with QR1.292 billion, and March with QR1.277 billion. The total value slightly decreased compared to QR4.277 billion recorded in Q1 of 2024. However, the number of transactions increased, reflecting steady market activity.
Doha Municipality topped the list in transaction value at QR1.655 billion. It was followed by Al Rayyan at QR1.009 billion and Al Daayen at QR545 million. In terms of transaction volume, Doha accounted for 33 percent. Al Rayyan accounted for 23 percent, and Al Daayen 13 percent.
The area index revealed Doha and Al Rayyan each represented 27 percent of the total transaction area. Al Daayen contributed 14 percent. Among the top 10 highest-value properties sold, four were located in Doha, three in Al Rayyan, and one each in Umm Slal, Al Daayen, and Al Shamal.
Mortgage transactions also surged. There were 294 deals valued at QR24.8 billion in Q1, reflecting a 168 percent rise compared to the same period last year.
The real estate sector’s outlook remains cautiously optimistic. This is supported by major developments. Projects include the Simaisma Land of Legends theme park, luxury waterfront townhouses at The Seef, and Barwa Hills in Lusail. Ongoing regulatory efforts are also driving the sector’s growth. These align with Qatar’s Third National Development Strategy focused on economic diversification.
