For years, Lebanese expats watched from afar — hesitant to invest in real estate back home due to political instability, banking restrictions, and a market in flux. But in 2025, we are witnessing a clear shift: expats are back, and they’re buying.

At JSK Real Estate, we've seen a significant rise in inquiries and transactions from Lebanese living abroad — especially from the Gulf, Europe, Canada, and the U.S.

So, what’s behind this renewed confidence?

1. Attractive Prices (Still!):

Despite global inflation, real estate prices in Lebanon remain extremely competitive, especially in comparison to international capitals.

- An apartment in Achrafieh or Ras Beirut is still priced lower per sqm than almost any major city.

- Seaside towns like Batroun and Jbeil offer strong investment potential at accessible price points.

Expats are seeing this as a rare opportunity to invest before prices catch up with market corrections.

2. A Deep Emotional Connection:

For many Lebanese expats, real estate isn’t just a financial investment — it’s a personal one.

- A home to come back to.

- A legacy to leave to their children.

- A way to stay anchored to their roots.

This emotional drive, combined with professional guidance, is turning intent into action.

3. A weakening dollar:

Many expats are fearing to keep cash stored in their banks even outside Lebanon, due to a weakening dollar and the risk of loosing purchasing power with their savings; In the absence of loans, Real Estate purchases in Lebanon are at the moment paid fully in cash/ bank transfer of the full amount. Lebanese expats are hedging the risk of dollar devaluation by investing part of their savings in real estate in Lebanon at what is still considered “attractive” prices.

They prefer not to keep those savings fully in cash and potentially to invest in Lebanese real estate to mitigate the risk of cash devaluation.

4. Remote Buying Made Easy:

Thanks to virtual tours, remote legal processes, and a professional team on the ground, expats can now buy from abroad confidently — with full transparency and peace of mind.

In summary, 2025 might just be the turning point for Lebanese real estate. Expats are no longer watching — they’re acting.

If you're considering investing back home, the time to explore the market is now.
