Recent figures show that Beirut yields have dropped even lower to 4.3% on the average from 6.2% by the end of 2007.. Smaller apartments still get higher yields up to 5.13%, also lower from the previous year of 7.46% for 150 sq. m. Yields can go as low as 3.82% for apartments of 350 sq. m.

Average prices for apartments have doubled according to Global Property figures, priced at an average of now US$3,019 versus US$ 1,690 per sq. m. from 2007. Naturally, price increases as the apartment size gets larger. A 600-sq. m. apartment can sell for around US$4,123 per sq. m.
