Qatar’s real estate trading volume reached QAR583.10 million ($160 million) in the week from September 20 to 24, rebounding sharply from the previous week as transactions covered residential units, land, houses and commercial properties.
Sales contracts registered with the Real Estate Registration Department at the Qatar Ministry of Justice totaled QAR516,362,618 during the five-day period, according to the department’s latest weekly real estate bulletin.
Residential-unit sales contracts added another QAR66,738,529, bringing total trading activity for the week to QAR583,101,147.
The latest figure represents a substantial increase from the previous reporting period. Between September 13 and 17, registered property sales stood at QAR299,903,384, while residential-unit contracts amounted to QAR71,086,172, producing a combined total of about QAR370.99 million.
That means overall weekly trading increased by approximately 57 percent, highlighting a marked rebound in transaction value even though residential-unit sales themselves were slightly lower than in the preceding week.
Transactions during the latest period extended across several property categories and a broad range of municipalities and development areas.
The figures provide a weekly snapshot of registered sales activity rather than a measure of the entire real estate market, but they offer a timely indication of transaction momentum across Qatar’s property sector.
Transactions spread widely
The Ministry of Justice bulletin showed that properties changing hands during the September 20–24 period included vacant land, houses, residential buildings, a service building, commercial buildings and residential units.
Sales were geographically dispersed across much of Qatar.
Transactions were recorded in Al Rayyan, Doha, Umm Salal, Al Wakrah, Al Daayen, Al Khor and Al Dhakira, and Al Shamal municipalities, reflecting activity across both central urban locations and areas outside the capital.
The weekly bulletin also identified transactions in several individual zones and major developments, including Lusail 69, The Pearl Island, Al Wukair, Al Gharafa, Al Kharayej and Ghar Thuaileb.
The diversity of properties traded distinguishes the latest week from periods in which sales were concentrated within fewer categories.
In the previous week, from September 13 to 17, the Ministry of Justice said transactions consisted of vacant land, houses, residential buildings and residential units. The latest period additionally included a service building and commercial buildings.
Activity has fluctuated notably through September.
For the week from September 6 to 10, total property trading reached about QAR387.90 million, comprising QAR322.45 million in general sales contracts and QAR65.45 million in residential-unit transactions.
The earlier period from August 30 to September 3 was considerably stronger, with general property sales reaching QAR520.38 million and residential-unit contracts totaling QAR65.85 million, bringing combined activity to approximately QAR586.22 million.
The latest QAR583.10 million total therefore brings weekly activity back close to the levels recorded at the start of September after two consecutive weeks below QAR400 million.
Residential deals contribute
Residential-unit contracts accounted for QAR66.74 million of the latest week’s QAR583.10 million total, while the broader category of property sales registered with the Real Estate Registration Department contributed the remaining QAR516.36 million ($141.7 million).
That composition means transactions outside the separately reported residential-unit category were responsible for the majority of activity during the week.
Residential-unit sales have nevertheless remained comparatively steady across recent Ministry of Justice bulletins.
They totaled QAR65.85 million between August 30 and September 3, QAR65.45 million from September 6 to 10 and QAR71.09 million between September 13 and 17 before reaching QAR66.74 million in the latest reporting period.
Broader property sales have shown much larger weekly swings.
They fell from QAR520.38 million in the August 30–September 3 period to QAR322.45 million the following week and then to QAR299.90 million during September 13–17, before recovering to QAR516.36 million between September 20 and 24.
