The Real Estate Development Fund announced today the deposit of SAR 1.034 billion into the accounts of citizens benefiting from the housing support program for the month of December 2025. This deposit comes as a continuation of the Fund's efforts and those of the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing's "Sakani" program to enable Saudi families to own their first home and overcome the financial obstacles they face.
The Fund explained in its statement that the deposited amounts were allocated to support the profits of various real estate financing contracts, which include self-build, ready-made housing units, and units under construction, in order to ensure the sustainability of support and improve the purchasing power of beneficiaries, in line with the objectives of the Housing Program, one of the most important programs of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
Total housing support during 2025
The Real Estate Development Fund revealed overall figures reflecting the extent of support provided during the year, with total deposits into beneficiaries' accounts from January 2025 to December of this year reaching approximately 12.4 billion riyals. These figures reflect the government's strong commitment to supporting the housing sector and providing financing solutions that suit different segments of society, ensuring family stability and increasing homeownership rates.
The Fund's role in achieving Vision 2030
The housing support program is a key pillar in achieving the goals of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which seeks to raise the percentage of citizens owning homes to 70% by 2030. These regular monthly deposits play a pivotal role in enhancing the confidence of beneficiaries, real estate developers and financing entities in the Saudi real estate market, which contributes to creating an attractive and stable investment environment.
Since its establishment in 1974, the Real Estate Development Fund has continued to play its pioneering and historic role in urban development in the Kingdom. The Fund has undergone significant strategic transformations in recent years, shifting from direct lending to providing support through partnerships with banks and financial institutions. This has contributed to accelerating homeownership and reducing waiting lists to an unprecedented degree.
Innovative and sustainable financing solutions
In a related context, the Fund affirmed its commitment to pursuing development and innovation policies by offering flexible financing solutions in collaboration with the housing sector and the private sector. These efforts fall under the strategic pillar of "Homeownership for Promising Generations," which aims to provide housing and financing options that suit the diverse financial capabilities of beneficiaries and address the needs of current and future generations, thereby enhancing the quality of life and socio-economic stability in the Kingdom.
