Supply
The Jeddah residential market remains dominated by small developers and individual owners, with the larger developers delivering just 2,010 additional units to the residential market in 2010. Future housing supply
is likely to be reduced as applications for planning permission and building permits are being reviewed with
extra scrutiny after the impact of the record rainfall and floods in Jeddah in November 2009. Development
of two gated communities targeting the expatriate sector have been announced in the Rawdah and Zahra
districts.

At King Abdullah Economic City, the Bay La Sun apartments developed by Emaar have opened bookings
this year, most units priced at over SAR 1 million/unit. The next residential development within this project Hawadi is much more affordable, offering a range of apartments and duplexes targeted at the middle
income bracket, priced between SAR 250,000 and SAR 750,000. Large districts in the south east of Jeddah
have been set aside by the municipality for development of low-income housing. These areas will be needed
to accommodate the population that will eventually be resettled from the Khozama and Ruwais districts
that are to be redeveloped by public-private consortiums.
Demand
KSAs Ministry of Commerce estimates that formation of new households will result in demand for around
40,000 new housing units per annum over the next few years.

Murjana (2014)
Dammam, Dhahran and Al Khobar are increasingly being seen as one major unified city that is connected
by new residential and commercial developments, rather than three individual cities.
Dhahran is also expanding its residential developments near major thoroughfares such as the Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd Road in new districts such as Al Qusoor. Unlike Dammam which is dominated by large
developers, Dhahran is characterized by the presence of medium-sized developers. Khobar is expanding
mostly towards the south near Azizia Beach with medium-sized developers delivering most of the stock
Stark contrasts are observed between mid-scale developers operating in Dammam and Khobar and those
in Riyadh and Jeddah. Developers in Dammam and Khobar are more active with multiple ongoing projects
and have a higher number of units per project.

Demand
There is a preference for quality apartment developments in Dammam and Al Khobar. A fitting example
would be the Al Hamraa District (also commonly known as Shobily High Rise) in Al Khobar, which is a
prime location for quality apartments. Most home buyers in the district believe in the investment potential
of their purchases, particularly with the expected forthcoming completion of the Shobily Masterplan, which
has been on hold for several years.

Access to housing finance has been tightly constrained with very little mortgage financing available. Some subsidized loans were available through the
Real Estate Development Fund (REDF), a state-funded entity. But they had
a very long waiting list, and loan amounts were not necessarily sufficient to
cover construction costs, says David O. Robinson, IMF mission chief

The Real Estate Development Fund (REDF), established in 1974, was set up to meet the needs and
aspirations of the Kingdoms citizens by helping to
raise the quality of life in society through the development of high quality housing.
In its first five years, the Fund fulfilled its major
objective by solving the housing crisis of the time
engendered by the Kingdoms extraordinary pace of
development.
The total loans disbursed by the Real Estate Development Fund (REDF) since its inception until the
end of 2006 amounted to SAR 134.1 billion.
Due to the absence of a mortgage law, the Real Estate Development Fund (REDF) is the main provider of home financing. REDF is not able to meet
the demand, which is increasing exponentially;
there are more than 650,000 applications pending
since the end of 2009, up from 450,000 in 2006,
mainly due to obstacles faced by REDF in collection of debts. This leaves an average earning household individual with no option but to live on rent
instead of buying his own property.

motivates owners
to hold on more to those
assets. However, it is expected that regulations on
imposing fees on empty plots of land are expected
to take effect soon. Many realtors in the Kingdom
believe that such regulations would help reduce the
prices of real estate units.
Private financing
In view of the cramped demand for housing and the
scale of the Governments plans, private financing
will also be necessary in addition to REDFs recapitalization. The mortgage market is expected to reach
SAR 86.7 billion within the next three years of the
mortgage law being enacted.
Alternative Solutions
Mortgages customized for low income
nationals
The aim is to provide mortgages to modest income
nationals who are currently locked out of the mortgage market due to low incomes and perceived sustainability of those incomes. This endeavor would
be structured as a hybrid between traditional charity
and a marketplace mortgage company that would
generally not consider lower income nationals as a
target market or would charge very high interest to
justify this perceived higher risk exposure.
