167 billion riyals Saudi real estate stock exchange trades in the first half of 2025

During the first half of this year, the Saudi real estate stock exchange recorded a different activity, amid structural transformations in the real estate market driven by the Kingdom’s 2030 vision.

The number of real estate deals executed more than 216 thousand deals, with a total value exceeding 167 billion Saudi riyals, despite the value of the value by 17% compared to the same period last year.

The market witnessed an increase in the areas sold to more than 2 billion square meters, driven by increasing demand for land and residential complexes, especially in cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam.

Real estate prices also increased by 4.3%on an annual basis, with the residential sector recorded the highest growth by 5.1%, while the prices of agricultural lands decreased by 1.1%.

Real estate loans witnessed a remarkable growth of 28.3% compared to the first half of 2024, supported by the programs of the Ministry of Housing and the Real Estate Development Fund, in addition to contracts backed by banks.

This growth is due to the low benefits and the expansion of financing options, which contributed to the stimulation of the buying and purchase movement, especially in the residential sector.

Riyadh has emerged as the most active cities in terms of price rise by 10.7%, followed by the northern borders and Al -Jawf, which reflects a shift in investors ’trends towards modern infrastructure areas and advanced transport networks.

The Real Estate Stock Exchange, launched by the Ministry of Justice, continues to enhance its presence as an integrated digital platform that allows beneficiaries to carry out sales and purchases, and the mortgage, and to update the sukuk electronically, as part of the Kingdom’s efforts to develop the real estate sector and raise its digital efficiency.

The Saudi real estate stock exchange was officially launched in August 2023 as an integrated digital platform of the Ministry of Justice, with the aim of organizing real estate trading and raising the efficiency of the real estate market through modern digital tools.

The platform provides multiple services that include buying and selling, mortgage, financing, sorting and integrating real estate, updating the sukuk electronically, while relying on “real estate identity” as a unified reference for each property, and this step contributed to accelerating real estate procedures and reducing dependence on paper transactions.

During its first year, the real estate stock exchange witnessed a remarkable growth, as the number of beneficiaries exceeded the barrier of 2.1 million users, and hundreds of thousands of real estate operations were carried out through the platform.

The Stock Exchange also launched instant indicators to measure the movement of the market, such as the number of deals, the circulating spaces, and the average prices, which allowed investors and citizens to follow the market in a more transparent and effective way, and this platform is one of the pillars of digital transformation in the real estate sector within the Saudi Vision 2030.
