Property prices in Doha's suburbs have tumbled almost 50 percent in the last month, while rents have fallen as much as 20 percent as the global financial crisis hits Qatar's real estate market.
Land prices have also dropped around 30 percent in the last month, Qatari daily The Peninsula reported on Sunday, citing agents.
Plots in some suburbs have dropped to 400 riyals ($110) per square metre, while apartments that were going for 10,000 riyals per month are now being offered for 8,000 riyals, the newspaper said.
The paper did not give any figures for property prices.
Agents said they expected prices to slide further, according to the paper.
