Qatar\u2019s property sector hits QR8.9 billion in Q2 2025 deals, up 29.8% year-on-year<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Property buyers in Qatar will soon be able to obtain both a title deed and real estate residency within days by purchasing property worth at least $200,000 (around QR700,000), in a major step to attract international investors and boost the nation\u2019s housing market, Arabic daily Al Sharq newspaper reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initiative, announced by Eng. Khalid bin Ahmed Al Obaidli, Chairman of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), will be officially launched during the upcoming Third Real Estate Forum, in collaboration with the Ministries of Interior, Justice, and Labour, as well as the Investment Promotion Agency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to\u00a0The MENA, Al Obaidli said the effort reflects \u201ca unified government approach\u201d to streamline procedures and ensure a smooth, transparent process for investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll concerned entities are working together as one team to make property ownership in Qatar easier and more efficient,\u201d he said, noting that all projects licensed by the authority in 2025 \u201care free of issues,\u201d with buyers set to receive both title deeds and real estate residency under the new system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move comes amid strong momentum in Qatar\u2019s property sector, which recorded QR8.9 billion in transactions during the second quarter of 2025, a 29.8 percent year-on-year surge, driven largely by a 114 percent increase in residential deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the new framework, foreigners purchasing property worth at least $200,000 (QAR730,000) will qualify for an immediate title deed and residency linked to their investment, RERA confirmed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For properties valued at QAR3.65 million ($1 million) or more, buyers will be eligible for permanent residency, which includes access to healthcare, education, and investment privileges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The authority said ownership is open to Qataris and non-Qataris alike, with opportunities to purchase shops and offices in malls and residential complexes across the country. Investors can also complete all ownership and residency procedures through a one-stop digital platform, simplifying what was once a complex process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RERA highlighted that Qatar ranks first globally in ease of real estate registration, with ownership documents and architectural plans issued in under 24 hours. The country also boasts the lowest property registration fees in the region, at just 0.01 percent of construction costs, alongside a fully electronic building permit system that has eased property transactions nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
