Question regarding Zakat

rizzumd

Your brother
Assalamualaikum,

I have some question on Zakat-ul-Maal. Recently I purchased some land and some houses. Do I need to pay Zakat on those property values?
I read in some islamic sites that if I have a house for living purpose, I don't need to pay zakat on that. But I don't live in that house. But I have plans to buy new house for myself in future, by selling all the properties I have now. Please help me in knowing whether I need to pay zakat on that property or not.

Jazakum Allahu khairan.
