For his part, Abdullah Ghanam Al-Mutairi, a real estate broker and marketer, said that 2025 is one of the pivotal years in the housing and real estate sector, as it witnessed a set of initiatives and organizational decisions that contributed to addressing the existing challenges under the leadership of His Highness the Crown Prince, may God protect him, especially those related to regulating the market, raising the efficiency of supply, and achieving greater balance between supply and demand.<\/p>\n

Al-Mutairi described 2025 as a year of correction and maturity for the real estate market, the market witnessed a state of relative calm, prices became closer to reality, and the level of buyer awareness increased, as they became more keen to ask and scrutinize before making a purchase decision, and workers continued according to clear professional foundations, in contrast to the decline of practices based on rapid rollout without added value.<\/p>\n

Al-Mutairi pointed out that the regulation of real estate brokerage and the licensing of brokers is one of the most influential legislations during the past stage, because it has a role in raising the level of awareness among the parties to the transaction, reducing randomness, and enhancing transparency, and confirmed that the presence of a licensed and responsible broker contributed to raising the level of trust, reducing disputes, and improving the efficiency of the market in general.<\/p>\n

On his hopes for the coming year, Almutairi said: \u00abIn 2026, we hope to focus more on quality of life within residential projects, not just units, taking into account the needs of the Saudi family, offering more flexible pricing models, and services that are in line with reality.\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u00abIt is also looking forward to completing the digital transformation path to ensure clarity of procedures and ease of transactions, away from complexity or individual diligence,\u00bb he added.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that these directives put an end to the \u00abhoarding and monopolization\u00bb crises of land, which effectively contributed to restoring the lost balance between supply and demand.<\/p>\n

On the legislative and awareness aspect, Al-Otaibi stressed that the next stage will witness a qualitative leap by supporting \u00abreal estate media\u00bb through joint financial incentives between the Ministries of \u00abInformation\u00bb and \u00abMunicipalities and Housing\u00bb, and revealed a strict approach to regulate this sector through:<\/p>\n
