The doha stock market slowed down dramatically in the past few months because a lot money went into construction instead. The boom is mainly feuled by the Asian Games and the new LNG/GTL plants in the north. Many expect the contruction in doha to slow down after the asian games, though it wil continue for couple more years in the north.

Many aparments, villas and compounds will be finished perhaps mid next year. The current prices are not sustainable at all so as demand decreases, expect the rents to go down but it will happen slowly.
