Recent data from GASTAT indicates a decline in Saudi Arabia‘s real estate prices, which dipped 0.7 percent in Q4 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This development highlights the growing challenges within the residential sector, as a combination of economic factors continues to influence property values nationwide.
The year-on-year dip was largely attributed to a significant 2.2 percent decrease in residential sector prices. This softening of the market is particularly notable given the previous stability seen in earlier quarters.
Within the residential segment, various property types saw notable declines: residential land prices fell by 2.4 percent, apartment prices dropped by 2.5 percent, and villa prices decreased by 1.3 percent. Additionally, residential floor prices experienced a marginal decline of 0.2 percent, reflecting the overall trend in Saudi Arabia’s real estate prices.
Overview of Saudi Real Estate Prices
Quarterly comparisons reveal that the Real Estate Price Index fell by 0.4 percent from Q3 2025. This decrease in the index can be traced to 0.4 percent shortfalls in both the residential and commercial sectors, while agricultural prices experienced a slightly sharper decline, dropping by 0.7 percent.
GASTAT elaborated that the Real Estate Price Index is constructed from comprehensive real estate transaction data, encapsulating all administrative regions in Saudi Arabia. This allows for a nationwide view of price fluctuations across various property segments, assisting stakeholders in understanding the broader market landscape.
Furthermore, the authority emphasized that the index is refined quarterly using innovative methodologies that leverage Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) models. These advanced models integrate data from diverse sources to enhance the accuracy, quality, and transparency of real estate price data across the Kingdom.
