Saudi Arabia\u2019s housing market is diverging sharply by city. Recent Cavendish Maxwell reporting shows Dammam residential transaction value rising strongly in the first quarter, while Riyadh\u2019s volumes and values fell from an elevated 2025 base.<\/p>\n
Dammam recorded about 2,900 home transactions in the first quarter and approximately SAR3.6 billion in residential sales value. The city\u2019s quarterly value growth was especially strong, reflecting Eastern Province employment, affordability and a market that still has room to absorb family housing demand.<\/p>\n
Riyadh logged about 8,800 residential sales worth SAR13.4 billion, but that represented steep year-on-year declines. The fall should be read as normalization after exceptional activity in late 2024 and early 2025 rather than a simple collapse, although it does mean sellers face more scrutiny on pricing.<\/p>\n
REGA\u2019s real estate indicators platform continues to provide transaction and rental indicators for cities and districts. As that data becomes more widely used, buyers in Riyadh and Dammam can compare activity by neighborhood and property type with greater confidence.<\/p>\n
Saudi Arabia\u2019s second-half housing story will depend on whether Dammam\u2019s momentum persists while Riyadh stabilizes. Developers should avoid applying one national pricing view to two very different city cycles.
