Market overview:

The real estate market is experiencing relative stability after years of fluctuation. Interest in nearby resorts to Damascus is returning, along with investment in farms and domestic tourism.

There is heavy reliance on the US dollar instead of the Syrian pound.

Zabadani is no longer as cheap as it was immediately after the war. Between 2025–2026, it has become one of the most expensive resort areas in Rural Damascus, yet it remains significantly cheaper than upscale دمشق neighborhoods, making it a medium to strong investment area.
