Doha residential market insight, Q2 2026

6 min read · Updated October 2026

Prime apartment rents were broadly flat quarter on quarter, with the strongest enquiry volume in two-bedroom units between 120 and 160 m².

Supply of well-finished three bedrooms remains thin on The Pearl, and landlords holding that stock achieved asking rent in under three weeks on average.

Sales activity concentrated in Lusail, where payment plans continue to pull first-time investors. Villa transactions above QAR 10 million stayed selective but priced firmly.

We are advising landlords to prepare units properly before listing — professional photography, a working snag list and flexible cheques shorten void periods more than a headline discount does.

Our full quarterly note, with area-level rent tables, is available to clients on request.
