Saudi Arabia real estate prices declined in the final quarter of 2025, weighed down by a broad-based slowdown in the residential sector, according to the latest official data released by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT).
GASTAT’s Real Estate Price Index (REPI) report for the fourth quarter of 2025 shows that overall real estate prices fell by 0.7 per cent compared with the same period in 2024.
The year-on-year decline was driven primarily by a 2.2 per cent drop in residential sector prices.
Within the residential segment, residential land prices declined by 2.4 per cent, apartment prices fell by 2.5 per cent, villa prices dropped by 1.3 per cent, and residential floor prices edged down by 0.2 per cent, the data showed.

On a quarterly basis, the Real Estate Price Index fell by 0.4 per cent compared with the third quarter of 2025. The quarter-on-quarter decline reflected a 0.4 per cent decrease in both the residential and commercial sectors, while agricultural prices fell by 0.7 per cent.
GASTAT said the index is compiled using real estate transaction data covering all administrative regions of Saudi Arabia, providing a nationwide snapshot of price movements across property segments.
The authority noted that the Real Estate Price Index is calculated on a quarterly basis using updated methodologies, including Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) models.
These models link data from multiple sources to improve the quality, accuracy and transparency of real estate price data across the Kingdom.
According to GASTAT, the enhanced methodology is designed to provide more reliable insights into market trends and support data-driven decision-making across Saudi Arabia’s real estate sector.
