Nearly half of Riyadh areas see rental drops
The average rental prices have decreased in 45% of the neighborhoods in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, with drops reaching up to 42%. This follows the implementation of the housing market balancing measures launched by the government in September 2025, aimed at curbing rising rents and stabilizing the market. The most affected neighborhoods, such as Al-Khair and King Saud University District, experienced a 42% decline compared to September 2025 averages. Meanwhile, rent increases continued in 50% of other neighborhoods, with rises of up to 117%. Additionally, land and villa prices declined by 5.1% and 13.4%, respectively. The market has entered a phase of gradual re-pricing, aligned with the entry of new housing units and a balanced demand and supply dynamic.
