The impact of demographic changes on the real estate market in Saudi Arabia for 2024!
The real estate market in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is witnessing tremendous transformations driven by rapid demographic changes. It is expected that the coming years will witness significant population growth, which will directly affect the demand for real estate, its types and locations. In this article, we will address the impact of demographic changes on real estate in Saudi Arabia for 2024, highlighting the main aspects of this impact, relying on statistical data and studies from experts at Afaq Real Estate Academy.
Population Growth and its Impact on Demand for Housing Units
Saudi Arabia is witnessing rapid population growth, driven by high birth rates and internal and external migration. This population growth will inevitably lead to increased demand for housing units, especially in major cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.

Experts at Afaq Real Estate Academy predict an increase in demand for small and medium-sized apartments, due to the increasing number of young people and small families. While the luxury villa market may witness relatively less growth compared to apartments.

Changes in the Demographic Structure and their Impact on Types of Real Estate
The impact of demographic changes is not limited to the size of demand only, but extends to the type of real estate required. With the increasing proportion of young people, it is expected that demand will increase for real estate close to universities and workplaces, in addition to residential projects that provide recreational facilities and social services.

The Impact of Increased Youth on the Rental Market:
The increase in the number of young people will contribute to the increased demand for the rental market, especially in areas near universities and workplaces. This may lead to higher rents in these areas.
The Impact of Internal and External Migration on the Real Estate Market
Internal and external migration is an important factor in the impact of demographic changes on the real estate market. Migration from rural areas to major cities increases pressure on the real estate market in these cities, while external migration may lead to a decrease in demand in some areas.
