Bidding wars in Lebanon are more common than before the pandemic, but two thirds fewer homes come up for sale

We read every month of Lebanon’s home sales since 2012 so you don’t have to. Each figure covers 12 months, because a single month in a town is too few sales to mean much. Latest: the year to September 2026, 292 sales.
