I have ALWAYS posted here to NEVER trust anyone from the developers unless he/she is a family member. I now and then went window shopping at times in the market only to be amused at the outright BS agents would spew out. Had to a fool not to see it. And it was amusing at times.
Funny thing is you can go to any developer/agent even now and they will blow you a fantasy tale that the property market is as good as ever and give 100 reason to buy an apartment. "Oh and the price is still 20,000 QR+ per sq. meter." I just got sick of these rodents taking advantage of people.
Another amusing fact is the allwoing of foreigners to buy in the "selected areas" for leasehold. These areas are all conjested junk areas inside c ring with the exception of al saad which is conjested apartment complexes as well. Basically alot of
junk areas unworthy and not really desireable. Worthy villas and commercial property in these areas are slim to none. And west bay lagoon and Pearl villas was and is out of reach for 95% of expats. Must be nice when you can go to any country and buy anywhere you want but only offer "selected" property for non-qataris to purchase.
Sad but true.
