Story details
Qatar’s Ministry of Justice said its weekly bulletin recorded QR508.269 million in real-estate sales-contract value during 27 September to 1 October 2026. The ministry’s 8 October release separates QR464,182,516 in sale contracts registered by the Real Estate Registration Department from QR44,086,614 in sales contracts for residential units. These are the two reported components of the weekly total, an administrative measure of the monetary value of recorded sales activity.
The bulletin lists vacant land, houses, residential and commercial buildings, administrative buildings, shops and residential units among the properties sold. Activity was reported across Doha, Al Rayyan, Al Wakra, Umm Slal, Al Daayen, Al Khor and Al Thakhira, Al Shamal and Al Sheehaniya municipalities, as well as named areas including Lusail 69, The Pearl Island and Al Wukair. The release does not provide separate values or deal counts for each municipality or area, so the list cannot support a ranking or a calculation of local market shares.
The data cover registered sales contracts over one week. They do not measure rents, mortgage transactions, a repeat-sales price index or completed construction. The release also gives no transaction count or average sale price, so a change in the total value cannot by itself establish that property prices rose. The ministry said registered sale contracts in the previous reporting week exceeded QR583 million, but that figure is not presented as a total containing the same components as the current week’s number. A like-for-like trend comparison would require consistent definitions and further period data.
The weekly release shows recorded activity across land, housing, commercial buildings and residential units. Registered sale contracts make up most of the stated value, while residential-unit contracts are presented as a separate component. Keeping those categories distinct helps readers understand the calculation without counting the same contract twice. The published values describe completed contracts recorded by the department; they are not asking prices, reservations, planned investment or forecasts of later sales.
The reference window runs from 27 September through 1 October, while the release appeared on 8 October. Keeping the measurement period separate from the publication date matters: the values are not a live measure of deals occurring on the day the news was published. The ministry reports recorded contract values for a defined reference interval.
