A strong driver of economic growth and a key driver of job localization"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>witnessed <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amlak.net.sa\/en\/99788\/\">Real estate sector <\/a><\/strong>Saudi Arabia's non-oil private sector has significantly boosted its contribution to GDP, reaching 26.7% in the third quarter of 2025, according to a recent report by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rega.gov.sa\/\">Public Authority for Real Estate<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This growth reflects the vital role the sector plays in supporting the strategy of diversifying the national economy away from dependence on oil, supported by a continuous recovery in construction and development projects witnessed in various regions of the Kingdom. The sector's contribution to the overall GDP reached 14.1% in the same period, emphasizing its growing economic importance. Emiratization programs in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amlak.net.sa\/en\/98665\/\">Real estate sector<\/a><\/strong> A qualitative leap, as the percentage of Saudis working in it increased to 54.4% by the end of the third quarter 2025, compared to previous periods. This achievement reflects the success of government policies supporting the empowerment of national human capital and enhancing its participation in vital economic sectors, which enhances job opportunities and reduces unemployment rates among Saudi youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Real estate market volatility<\/strong><br>In the financial trading market, real estate management and development companies showed an increase in the value of their transactions by 3.7% to reach 20.5 billion riyals during the third quarter, while <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amlak.net.sa\/en\/81522\/\">Real Estate Investment Trusts <\/a><\/strong>(REITS) declined in value by 14.6%. Reflecting the diversity of investment patterns in the sector and investors' response to market fluctuations and cycles of real estate activity, real estate prices responded to the slowdown in financing liquidity, with the real estate price index recording a quarterly decline of 1.1% and an annual decline of 0.9%. The most notable decline was in villa prices, which fell by 2.5% during the same period, reflecting a healthy corrective movement that contributes to rebalancing prices and bringing them more in line with the current purchasing power in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Structural shifts in the real estate market<\/strong><br>The real estate labor market has undergone notable shifts. The total number of workers decreased by a slight 0.4% quarter-on-quarter, with a sharp decline in traditional real estate activities by 29.8% year-on-year, in contrast to a significant growth of 14.8% in the construction sector. These shifts are indicative of the concentration of new job opportunities in operational and field areas rather than administrative and marketing activities. Rental CPI continued to rise in September 2025, driven by an increase in actual and estimated residential rents, especially in major cities. This trend reflects the increasing residential demand as a result of the expansion of economic activity, making rents one of the most important inflation factors associated with the real estate sector in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The General Real Estate Authority (GRA) report shows that the Saudi real estate sector remains one of the main pillars in driving economic growth, with an increasing contribution and successful localization of jobs, despite the challenges in the market in terms of prices and job distribution. This reflects the sector's ability to adapt and transform to keep pace with market developments and the needs of the national economy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">Minutes<\/span><\/span>\u0634\u0647\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0637\u0627\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0642\u0627\u0631\u064a \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0645\u0644\u0643\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0639\u0648\u062f\u064a\u0629 \u062a\u0639\u0632\u064a\u0632\u064b\u0627 \u0645\u0644\u0645\u0648\u0633\u064b\u0627 \u0644\u0645\u0633\u0627\u0647\u0645\u062a\u0647 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0627\u062a\u062c \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0644\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0625\u062c\u0645\u0627\u0644\u064a\u060c \u062d\u064a\u062b \u0628\u0644\u063a\u062a \u0646\u0633\u0628\u062a\u0647 26.7% \u0645\u0646 \u0625\u062c\u0645\u0627\u0644\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0627\u062a\u062c \u0627\u0644\u062e\u0627\u0635 \u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0641\u0637\u064a \u062e\u0644\u0627\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0628\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u062b\u0627\u0644\u062b \u0645\u0646 \u0639\u0627\u0645 2025\u060c \u0628\u062d\u0633\u0628 \u062a\u0642\u0631\u064a\u0631 \u062d\u062f\u064a\u062b \u0635\u0627\u062f\u0631 \u0639\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0647\u064a\u0626\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0645\u0629 \u0644\u0644\u0639\u0642\u0627\u0631. \u0647\u0630\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0645\u0648 \u064a\u0639\u0643\u0633 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0648\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u064a\u0648\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0630\u064a \u064a\u0644\u0639\u0628\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0637\u0627\u0639 \u0641\u064a \u062f\u0639\u0645 \u0627\u0633\u062a\u0631\u0627\u062a\u064a\u062c\u064a\u0629 \u062a\u0646\u0648\u064a\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0642\u062a\u0635\u0627\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0648\u0637\u0646\u064a \u0628\u0639\u064a\u062f\u064b\u0627 \u0639\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0639\u062a\u0645\u0627\u062f &#8230; <a title=\"The real estate sector.
