Based on published advertisements and available information, it is difficult to determine an exact percentage increase in the number of properties for sale in South Lebanon. However, several key points can be drawn about the region’s real estate market:
* Decline in real estate activity: In general, the unstable security situation in the south has affected the real estate market, leading to a decline in investments and the suspension of new projects.
* Investment exodus: Some reports indicate that security tensions have prompted investors to relocate their investments from the south to other, more stable areas in Lebanon, such as Beirut and Mount Lebanon, leading to an increase in real estate prices in those areas.
* Impact of the economic crisis: The economic crisis Lebanon is experiencing has significantly impacted the real estate sector, as the lack of liquidity and difficulty obtaining housing loans have led to a general decline in demand.
* Increase in transactions (in 2024): Despite all the challenges, some figures show an increase in the number of real estate transactions registered with the Lebanese Real Estate Departments in general during 2024. However, this increase does not necessarily reflect an increase in actual sales during this year. Rather, it is largely due to the reopening of the Real Estate Departments and the registration of transactions that had been pending for years. Previous.
* Supply and Demand: Under the current situation, there may be an increased supply of real estate in the south from people wishing to sell due to security conditions, but demand is weak due to security concerns and a lack of financing.
In general, the real estate market in southern Lebanon is characterized by stagnation and reluctance to invest, with supply possibly relatively high in some areas due to some people’s desire to liquidate, but without sufficient demand.
