The value covered 118 contracts. Qatar News Agency said Aqarat’s data showed the sales total was 30.9% lower than the previous week and 20% below the same week a year earlier. The number of contracts also declined, by 15.1% week on week and 21.9% year on year.","By property type, villas accounted for QAR224.7 million, or 46.5% of the sales value.

Al Rayyan municipality had the highest reported sales value at QAR130.9 million, followed by Doha at QAR116.7 million and Al Wakra at QAR99.7 million. The mix indicates that residential and land transactions made up most of the reported weekly sales value.","Mortgage indicators describe a separate stream of transactions. Aqarat reported 27 mortgage contracts with a combined value of QAR1.04 billion. That total was down 53.8% from the previous week but up 198.4% from a year earlier. Vacant land accounted for QAR827 million of mortgage value, towers for QAR130 million and buildings for QAR47 million. Doha municipality led mortgage value at QAR923 million. Mortgages are not the same as sales contracts; a larger mortgage total does not establish that an equivalent amount of new property sales took place in the same week.","Rental indicators showed 518 contracts valued at QAR4.49 million. Rental value fell 58.6% week on week and 91.5% year on year, while the number of rental contracts dropped 56.6% weekly and 89% annually. Villas made up QAR2.29 million, or 51.6% of rental value; apartments accounted for QAR1.23 million and 27.7%. Commercial showrooms represented QAR660,000, or 14.9%.
