The Impact of the Economic Crisis on Residential Property Prices in Lebanon

The severe economic crisis in Lebanon has led to significant changes in the residential real estate market. With the depreciation of the Lebanese pound and soaring inflation rates, apartment prices have been greatly affected. Properties priced in U.S. dollars have seen a marked increase, while those priced in Lebanese pounds have experienced a relative decline.

This situation has created a divided market, where luxury apartments and prime locations continue to see rising prices, while mid-range and smaller apartments face price declines due to the weakened purchasing power of most citizens.

For investors, the current scenario presents both challenges and opportunities. On one hand, it requires strategic thinking to invest in a volatile market, while on the other hand, there may be opportunities to acquire properties at attractive prices for long-term investment.
