The second quarter of Qatar Real Estate 2025 was a substantial source of rejuvenation to the activity in the property market in sales, leases and mortgages, as has been documented and clearly articulated in the Real Estate Bulletin with significant gains in everyday transactions. Imports of registered transactions into Qatar were 1,915 for Q2 - that number is 44% higher than the same quarter last year. Imports as a value have surged. The gross value of total transactions recorded in Q2 was around QAR 8.9 billion. The recent surge of Qatar real estate transactions activity is due to many connected forces.
From sharply lower prior levels of activity historically, the markets are recovering from activity in previous quarters while showing definite numbers of buyers. A few of these buyers or investors who were waiting for a time to recommit to the market shopped in Q2. And one last thing, the final number total in registered deals in I-2025 was 1,915. That's with the comparison of 44% from the same quarter last year.
The observations are indicative of technical, larger market confidence. The conditions are broad and were made experienced with the volume of activity growing across residential property market. The market conditions include resale and new sales. The market conditions of activity also incorporate a number of lease registrations. This kind of market activity, which was noted with activity volume, revised Q2 into a strong quarter-on-quarter volume increase.
Real estate transactions in Qatar witness a broad spectrum of properties, including luxury apartments and villas, commercial properties, and land plots. The real estate market has continued to perform strongly during this quarter, with the total value of real estate transactions in Qatar being worth approximately QR8.9bn — an increase of 29.8 percent, year on year. In the high-demand markets like The Pearl, Lusail and West Bay,, where modern apartments and waterfront residences are found, they are appealing to both investors and end-users alike.
In low-density family-friendly areas, villas in districts like Al Thumama and Al Wakrah continue to attract buyer interest, particularly for favoured space and privacy. In the commercial sector, it was business as usual for commercial properties, including offices and retailers in business hubs, such as Doha and Al Rayyan. Land plots for development purposes have been buoyed by activity related to infrastructure projects as well as Qatar's long-term growth plans associated with Vision 2030.
Doha led the value recovery. Doha had the largest share of Q2 sales. Its sales value was reported at approximately QAR 4.8 billion. Al Rayyan followed with approximately QAR 1.9 billion. These two municipalities represented a large part of QAR 8.9 billion. Investors like central locations and municipalities that are well-connected to other areas. That concentration in the sales value is consistent with the overall market performance metrics. The weighted value highlights where demand is strongest.
Residential sales made a large impact in Q2. Residential sales made up approximately 44% of the transaction count. Buyers were active, like in residential markets, from Q2, understanding that buyers of apartments and family homes were focused on hot micro-markets. The Pearl and Lusail were the busiest by unit count. The demand for residential deals and resale activity assisted in transaction values climbing. This shift indicator that buying speculation would transition to activity of real residential uptake.
Mortgage volume remained strong in the first half of 2025. The data indicated that in total, there were 788 mortgage agreements registered in the first half of 2025, totaling about QAR 19.31 billion. In the first quarter, the data showed 354 mortgages with a total of about QAR 9.28 billion. The impetus for financing came as banks were lending more and had a stronger liquidity position to lend. Lending volumes are opening options for qualified and motivated buyers. Better access to financing is causing many property hunters to convert into buyers.
The new reporting gradually continued to clarify the market. The advanced Real Estate regulations encouraged continued transparency. Buyers and other property practitioners can access data that is more quickly delivered, which reduces uncertainty. More clarity allows for more confident pricing and decision-making. Digital registries decrease friction in transactions, and the speedier routine can contribute to more transaction completions. Better access to market knowledge is a small but powerful stimulant.
Specific micro-markets had excellent performances in The Pearl, Lusail, Al Thumama and Madinat Khalifa, creating solid sales in Q2. These segments had new quality stock of inventory available. Quality developers launched attractive units and packages. As a result, end-users followed the ready inventory in these key neighborhoods. The concentrated end-user demand produced volume and transaction counts that accelerated. Hotspot areas can quickly lift national totals when key properties see higher volumes and investor activity.
Real estate benefits from Qatar's macro setting. There was an increase in bank lending and liquidity to the sector. There is continued government support for a coherent strategy and infrastructure investment. There is a clear indication of policy-level commitments towards regulatory transparency. The National Vision 2030 and large infrastructure projects help with the visibility of demand. There are structural factors and economics that are driven by local and foreign capital. Overall, Qatar real estate is an attractive allocation for many investors due to the durability of real estate investments. All of these factors played into stronger transaction activity in Q2.
