Real Estate Indicators Platform
The Real Estate Indicators Platform of the General Authority for Real Estate provides up-to-date data on real estate transactions, enabling the monitoring of daily sales deals in terms of their number, value, and traded areas, with the possibility of analyzing performance according to regions, cities, neighborhoods, and types of real estate.
The authority explained that the real estate sales transaction value index measures the total financial value of transactions according to the type of real estate unit and geographical scope, and is used to monitor the size of the Saudi real estate market in terms of value, in addition to providing tools for comparison between different regions and real estate classifications.
The platform's data includes sales transactions recorded in various regions of the Kingdom, updated according to working days, allowing users to monitor market developments and compare indicators across different time periods.
The platform also allows filtering data according to geographical scope, property type, and time period, which provides access to more accurate details about real estate sales activity and helps in analyzing market trends at the regional, city, and neighborhood levels.
