The real estate price price index saw a 3.2% y-o-y increase in 2Q 2025<\/strong>, subdued by slow growth in the residential sector which offset big increases in commercial real estate prices, according to fresh data (pdf)<\/a> from Gastat.<\/p>\n

The breakdown: <\/strong>Residential real estate saw a modest 0.4% y-o-y increase in the second quarter, with land prices up 0.2%, villa prices increasing 3.2%, and floor prices up by 1.5%, while apartment prices decreased 0.7%.<\/p>\n

Commercial real estate went the other way<\/strong>, logging an 11.7% y-o-y increase. Commercial land prices were up 12.6%, while buildings rose by 2.7%, and shop and gallery prices inched up 4.1%.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Riyadh is finally cooling off<\/strong>: Prices in the region inched up 3.6% y-o-y, the lowest growth level since 1Q 2022, down significantly from 10.7% in the first quarter of 2025. Tabuk led the regions with a 4.7% price increase, while the Eastern Province saw an annual growth of 4.2%. In contrast, prices fell by 3.2% in Madinah and by 3.9% in Aseer.<\/p>\n

Reforms already paying off? <\/strong>The government recently introduced a battery of reforms to stimulate the real estate market. The changes allowed<\/a> non-Saudis to own property and foreign investment<\/a> in Makkah- and Madinah-based real estate companies, lifted development restrictions<\/a> on 81 sq km of land in northern Riyadh, and saw amendments to the White Land Tax law<\/a>, in addition to planning the release of 10k-40k affordable residential plots per year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
