Saudi Arabia’s real estate price index climbed to 1.3% in the third quarter of 2025from 3.2% in Q2 2025, data issued by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) showed. 
This marks the lowest quarterly increase in the index since data tracking began in Q1 2021.
The real estate price index rose to 103.88 points in Q3 2025, based on the 2023 base year, compared to 102.56 points in Q3 2024.
The index reported a drop in the residential sector’s performance, which holds the largest weight in the index.
The authority stated that a new methodology for calculating the index 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 covers residential land plots, buildings, villas, apartments, and houses; the commercial sector covers commercial land plots, buildings, shops, and malls; and the agricultural segment covers agricultural land.
GASTAT said the residential sector fell 0.9% YoY in Q3 2025 on the slower growth in prices in this sector, driven by a 0.9% decline in residential land prices and a 1.7% drop in apartment prices.
Meanwhile, the commercial sector, which represents 25.4% of the index weight, increased by 6.8% YoY as commercial land prices grew 7.2% by the end of the three-month period.
Meanwhile, during the same quarter, the agricultural sector rose by 15.3% YoY to 110.2 points.
