Real estate activity slowed down on a monthly basis in June 2025, whether in terms of number (down by 21.04% to 5,108) or value (down by 15.39% to LBP 37.75 trillion) of transactions. The average value per transaction, however, increased by 7.15% month-on-month to LBP 7.39 billion ($82.58K at the LBP 89,500 per USD exchange rate), from LBP 6.90 billion ($77.07K) a month earlier. It is worth noting, however, that the bulk of the work of real estate registries nowadays, and especially for those that remained most on strike (Mount Lebanon for example), is geared towards the processing of backlogged real estate transactions. As such, the figures displayed in the below section do not reflect the real momentum of the real estate sector during the concerned months. On an annual basis, the number of real estate transactions more than doubled during the first half of the current year to 33,297 when compared to the 16,390 transactions recorded in the same period last year with the value of transactions increasing by 159.06% to LBP 255.50 trillion. Foreigners’ share of real estate sale transactions spiked to 2.58% by end of June 2025 from 2.36% in the full year 2024 and 1.87% in 2023 amidst talks of renewed foreign (particularly Arab) appetite in the Lebanese real estate market.
