Saudi property market leaps back to life with rising mortgage activity

Saudi Arabia’s property market is showing the first signs of recovery post COVID-19, with mortgage activity increasing by 38 percent in the 12 months to February 2021.

A decision to exempt real estate transactions from 15 percent VAT helped to boost activity in the residential market, according to Knight Frank’s Saudi Arabia Real Estate Market Review Q1 2021.
