As Lebanon emerges from prolonged political stagnation, the real estate sector is poised to be one of the main beneficiaries. Years of economic hardship saw demand plummet and prices fluctuate, with properties initially being sold through bank checks before shifting to cash transactions at significantly reduced values. Today, there is renewed momentum, with prices adjusting in high-demand areas. Compared to pre-2019 levels, prices in Beirut, Ras Beirut, Achrafieh, Rouche, Manara, and key mountain resorts have increased by approximately 20%. Conversely, suburban and rural areas have seen prices drop by around 40% due to their reliance on housing loans. The daily interest from investors in land purchases highlights a belief in future price appreciation, especially as economic and security conditions stabilize. However, sellers should avoid overpricing properties prematurely, as sudden price hikes could deter buyers and disrupt market recovery.
