(MENAFN) Property developers in Qatar are learning lessons from Dubai’s sharp real estate and development crash by slowing and rethinking projects, a move which will help property prices recover next year.
Qatar developer Barwa Real Estate said it has delayed its $8.3 billion Al Khor project due to sluggish market conditions, the latest sign that the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas is grappling with oversupply.
The project, a mixed-use city north of Doha, was originally expected to be completed in 2015, but a company spokesman declined to give a new completion date.
House prices in Qatar, down about 30 percent since the crisis, are seen falling further by 10-15 percent in 2010 before recovering next year as property companies better balance supply to the market, said Patrick Rahal, senior analyst at investment bank The First Investor in Doha.
