The Ministry of Justice’s Real Estate Registration Department released its weekly bulletin showing real estate trading in Qatar exceeded QAR 330 million during the period from August 9 to 13. Department figures place the value of registered sale contracts at QAR 304,243,032 with residential unit sales contributing an additional QAR 26,296,017 to reach the overall total. The traded properties encompassed vacant land, residences, residential buildings, commercial shops and individual residential units spread across numerous locations.
Transactions took place in municipalities including Al Rayyan, Doha, Al Wakrah, Umm Salal, Al Daayen, Al Khor and Al Thakhira as well as districts such as Al Shihaniya, Lusail, The Pearl, Al Kharaej, Ghar Thuaileb and Umm Al Amad. This geographic spread highlights continued activity in both central urban zones and emerging areas. The department issues the bulletin to document all registered dealings each week.
In the preceding week of August 2 to 6, the department had recorded a higher trading volume that totalled QAR 377.22 million. That earlier period saw sale contracts worth QAR 353,406,706 and residential unit sales of QAR 23,813,514. Such weekly comparisons provide insight into short-term fluctuations in market momentum.
A 2026 assessment by Mordor Intelligence valued Qatar’s residential real estate market at USD 14.36 billion. The sector is forecast to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 6.78 percent, attaining USD 19.93 billion by 2031. Infrastructure legacies from past events and investor-friendly policies have contributed to this projected trajectory according to the consultancy’s analysis.
According to the Real Estate Regulatory Authority, property purchases above QAR 730,000 can qualify applicants for long-term residency visas. These incentives form part of efforts to attract sustained interest in the property sector. Officials have tied such measures to broader goals of supporting market participation.
The latest bulletin adds to a series of weekly updates that have shown varying weekly totals throughout 2026. Market observers use the department’s consistent reporting to track trends without relying on aggregated monthly summaries alone. The data underscores the role of real estate within Qatar’s broader economic diversification initiatives.
