Villa and house sales: the priciest ranked district's median is 3.5 times the cheapest

This page covers sales of villas and houses registered with the Ministry of Justice. It is not about rents, and it does not cover apartments. Prices are nominal QR per sq m, meaning they are not adjusted for inflation. The figures are Qatar-wide: 2025 sales span 8 municipalities.

The Ministry of Justice bulletin recorded 3,691 villa and house sales in 2025. Of the 104 districts with at least one sale, 40 had enough sales to be ranked.

Among those 40 districts, the highest median is QR 5,106 per sq m, in Umm Garn. The lowest is QR 1,464 per sq m, in Al Ruwais. The priciest ranked district's median is 3.5 times the cheapest's.

A district figure here is the median of recorded sales. It is not a valuation of any particular property. The bulletin gives a price per square metre but does not say whether the area is plot or built-up area.

The table lists the five highest and the five lowest medians among the 40 ranked districts, with the number of 2025 sales behind each. These ten districts are a subset of the ranking, not the whole of it.

Highest medians:

• Umm Garn: QR 5,106 per sq m (186 sales)
• Umm Lekhba: QR 5,000 per sq m (36 sales)
• Al Ebb: QR 5,000 per sq m (67 sales)
• Nuaija 44: QR 4,990 per sq m (67 sales)
• Umm Al Amad: QR 4,906 per sq m (42 sales)

Lowest medians:

• Al Meshaf: QR 2,691 per sq m (51 sales)
• Al Wukair: QR 2,626 per sq m (242 sales)
• Al Thakhira: QR 2,286 per sq m (55 sales)
• Aba Al Duloof: QR 1,614 per sq m (77 sales)
• Al Ruwais: QR 1,464 per sq m (104 sales)

Umm Lekhba and Al Ebb share a median of QR 5,000 per sq m. Al Wukair has 242 sales, the most of the ten districts listed. All ten medians are nominal medians of recorded 2025 sales.

The Qatar-wide median price for villa and house sales was QR 3,398 per sq m in 2021. It was QR 3,520 in 2022, QR 3,344 in 2023, QR 3,520 in 2024 and QR 3,625 in 2025. All are nominal figures, before any adjustment for inflation. Between 2021 and 2025 the nominal median changed by +6.7%.

Sales counts are given separately. Recorded sales numbered 4,651 in 2021, 4,144 in 2022, 3,460 in 2023, 3,106 in 2024 and 3,691 in 2025. The change in recorded sales from 2021 to 2025 is -20.6%.

One note on the usage field. The usage coding changed after 2023. In 2021, 1,901 villa sales had a blank usage field and are counted as villas. In 2025 the number with a blank usage field or the new 'Residence' label was 71. Rows with a blank usage field are counted when the property type is 'Two separate villas'. Counting only labelled rows would understate early sales and distort the trend.

A district is ranked only if it has at least 30 villa and house sales in 2025. Of the 104 districts with at least one sale, 40 met that minimum and 64 did not.

The 40 ranked districts hold 3,144 sales. The 64 dropped districts account for 14.8% of 2025 sales, and their prices are not shown on this page. The total for 2025 is 3,691 sales.

The source is the Ministry of Justice weekly real-estate sales bulletin. The sales file held 26,719 rows, and 26,635 distinct sale records remained after removing exact duplicates, which share the same transaction and parcel. Rows kept are those with usage 'villas or residential houses', plus rows with a blank usage field and the property type 'Two separate villas', all with a price per sq m.

Prices are the bulletin's 'price per square meter' in nominal QR, summarised as medians of recorded sales. The data does not say who bought or the condition of the property.
