Saudi Arabia’s real estate price index slows by 0.7% in Q4 2025

Saudi Arabia’s real estate price index declined by 0.7% year-on-year (YoY) in the fourth quarter of 2025, data issued by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) showed.

 

The index fell to 103.48 points in Q4 2025, based on 2023 as the base year, compared with 104.18 points in Q4 2024.

 

The decline was driven by a drop in the residential sector, which holds the largest weight in the index.

 

The authority stated that a new index methodology was adopted in Q3 2024, in cooperation with the Real Estate General Authority (REGA), the Ministry of Justice, and the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), setting 2023 as the base year.

 

The real estate index gauges three sectors: the residential sector that covers residential land plots, buildings, villas, apartments, and houses; the commercial sector that covers commercial land plots, buildings, shops, and malls; and the agricultural sector that covers agricultural land.

 

GASTAT said the residential sector fell 2.2% YoY in Q4 2025 on the slower growth in prices, driven by a 2.4% decline in residential land prices and a 2.5% drop in apartment prices.

 

Meanwhile, the commercial sector, which represents 25.4% of the index weight, increased by 3.6% YoY as commercial land prices grew 3.5% YoY as of Q4 2025.

 

 

Meanwhile, the agricultural sector rose by 4.3% YoY to 109.44 points during the same quarter.

 

As for real estate prices by region, the Eastern Province recorded the highest annual rise of 0.4%, followed by the Makkah at 2.5%, and Tabuk and Jazan, each posting a 1.1% rise.
