The “Rental Index” recorded more than (294,000) residential and commercial rental transactions during the month of September, according to the reports and data issued by the electronic rental services network “Ejar,” in integration with the Sakani platform.

The Rental Index aims to promote transparency and stimulate investment in the Kingdom’s rental real estate sector by providing specific rental indicators for cities, districts, and various property types in both residential and commercial sectors. It allows users to view price ranges for residential units, search neighborhoods based on their preferred price range, and review the number of rental transactions and residential or commercial units in a particular district over a defined period. It also displays average rental values, price ranges for residential transactions, and graphical representations of this data, all in support of improving market efficiency in line with the objectives of the Housing Program — a key initiative under Saudi Vision 2030.

 

It is also worth noting that beneficiaries of the rental sector can now view evaluations of real estate brokers listed in the index, including the number of evaluators per broker. The current evaluation phase is based on lessors’ satisfaction with the broker’s performance and responsiveness during contract documentation, as well as tenants’ experiences during lease contract execution and the clarity with which brokers explain terms and conditions.
