In continuation of the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince, Prime Minister and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City - may God protect him - to take the necessary measures to achieve balance in the real estate sector in Riyadh, the Royal Commission for Riyadh City announced the start date for receiving applications for the second year of the Real Estate Balance Program , from 3 pm on Sunday, August 16, 2026, until the end of Tuesday, September 15, 2026, via the Real Estate Balance Platform.
Increase in the supply of residential land
The launch of the second year comes within the annual framework of the program aimed at increasing the supply of planned residential land by the Authority providing between 10,000 and 40,000 plots of land annually at prices not exceeding 1,500 riyals per square meter, which contributes to reducing the gap between supply and demand, and supporting the stability of the real estate market in the capital.
Application requirements for the Real Estate Balance Platform
Applications are open to married citizens or those over 25 years of age, provided that the applicant does not have prior real estate ownership, and that his period of residence in the city of Riyadh is not less than three years, in addition to fulfilling the rest of the approved eligibility conditions and controls.
The authority confirmed that priority of eligibility is not related to the order of application, and that registration on the platform does not mean final acceptance. Citizens who previously applied in the first year and whose eligibility was confirmed and who entered the electronic lottery will be automatically included in the approved track for the second year. It explained that all applications are subject to electronic verification according to the approved terms and conditions. The program stages after the end of the application period will include: verifying eligibility, announcing the results, receiving objections, conducting the electronic lottery for those eligible, and then completing the off-plan sales procedures according to the approved regulations.
The Authority called on those wishing to apply to rely on the electronic platform and official channels of the Authority, and not to deal with unreliable links or accounts, stressing the readiness of the 19998 call center, beneficiary care channels and the beneficiaries center to answer inquiries related to application procedures and program stages.
