Insights
- The average apartment price in Jeddah in 2026 is around SAR 620,000, but the median is closer to SAR 560,000 because many transactions happen in inland family districts.
- Jeddah apartment prices are not just about size: a similar 130 m² apartment can cost 40% to 80% more in coastal western districts than in inland areas.
- A practical citywide price for Jeddah apartments in June 2026 is about SAR 4,450 per m², or about USD 1,190 per m².
- Two-bedroom apartments are the most useful segment in Jeddah because they match family demand, resale demand and investor demand better than studios.
- Studios in Jeddah can show attractive yields, but the resale market is thinner because Jeddah is still mostly a family-apartment city.
- New-build apartments in Jeddah usually cost 15% to 25% more than resale apartments because buyers pay for parking, elevators, newer finishes and easier maintenance.
- For a foreign buyer, the safest cash plan is to budget around 8% to 9% above the agreed apartment price before mortgage down payment.
- The 5% Real Estate Transaction Tax is the largest buyer closing cost in Jeddah, and it matters much more than small admin or registration fees.
- Al Marwah, Al Safa and Al Manar are useful budget districts because they are cheaper than the coast but still have real family demand.
- Al Rahmaniyah and Marikh may show faster percentage growth, but Al Marwah and Al Safa are usually easier for a non-professional buyer to understand.

Sources and methodology: we anchored Jeddah apartment prices on Knight Frank, GASTAT and JLL.
We then checked district-level signals with Raghdan and transaction visibility from Saudi Real Estate Market.
We also used our own Jeddah apartment model to translate per-m² prices into bedroom-level buyer budgets.
How much is a studio apartment in Jeddah in 2026?
As of June 2026, a typical studio apartment in Jeddah costs around SAR 285,000, which is about USD 76,000 or EUR 66,000.
For entry-level to mid-range studios in Jeddah in 2026, expect around SAR 240,000 to SAR 330,000, or USD 64,000 to USD 88,000, while higher-end or serviced studios can reach SAR 380,000 to SAR 520,000, or about USD 101,000 to USD 139,000.
Most studio apartments in Jeddah are about 45 m² to 65 m², so they are usually found in compact new projects, serviced buildings or investor-focused schemes rather than in older family buildings.
Sources and methodology: we used Knight Frank, Raghdan and Global Property Guide.
We applied realistic Jeddah studio sizes because official sources do not publish a clean studio-only transaction table.
We treated studios carefully because Jeddah has less studio stock than Riyadh or Dubai-style investor markets.
How much is a one-bedroom apartment in Jeddah in 2026?
As of June 2026, a typical one-bedroom apartment in Jeddah costs around SAR 420,000, which is about USD 112,000 or EUR 97,000.
For entry-level to mid-range one-bedroom apartments in Jeddah, expect around SAR 350,000 to SAR 500,000, or USD 93,000 to USD 133,000, while high-end one-bedroom units can cost SAR 600,000 to SAR 800,000, or about USD 160,000 to USD 213,000.
Most one-bedroom apartments in Jeddah are about 75 m² to 95 m², which makes them larger than the compact 1BR layouts common in many global cities.
Sources and methodology: we compared GASTAT, JLL and Raghdan.
We used bedroom sizes common in Jeddah listings and checked them against district prices.
We also used our own buyer model to separate normal 1BR units from premium coastal stock.
How much is a two-bedroom apartment in Jeddah in 2026?
As of June 2026, a typical two-bedroom apartment in Jeddah costs around SAR 640,000, which is about USD 171,000 or EUR 147,000.

By the way, you will find much more detailed price ranges for apartments in our property pack covering the property market in Jeddah.
Sources and methodology: we used Knight Frank, Saudi Real Estate Market and Raghdan.
We focused on two-bedroom units because this is the most liquid apartment segment in Jeddah.
We cross-checked the result with our own apartment size and resale-liquidity analysis.
How much is a three-bedroom apartment in Jeddah in 2026?
As of June 2026, a typical three-bedroom apartment in Jeddah costs around SAR 880,000, which is about USD 235,000 or EUR 202,000.
For entry-level to mid-range three-bedroom apartments in Jeddah, expect around SAR 730,000 to SAR 1.05 million, or USD 195,000 to USD 280,000, while high-end three-bedroom apartments near stronger western districts can cost SAR 1.3 million to SAR 2 million, or about USD 347,000 to USD 533,000.
Most three-bedroom apartments in Jeddah are about 160 m² to 210 m², so they are usually bought by families rather than by investors looking only for the highest rental yield.
Sources and methodology: we checked Knight Frank, CBRE and Raghdan.
We used family-sized Jeddah layouts because three-bedroom apartments are not priced like compact investor units.
We treated prime western districts separately because sea access and building quality change the price fast.
What's the price gap between new and resale apartments in Jeddah in 2026?
As of June 2026, new-build apartments in Jeddah are usually about 15% to 25% more expensive than similar resale apartments.
A realistic average price for new-build apartments in Jeddah in 2026 is about SAR 5,100 per m², which is around USD 1,360 or EUR 1,170 per m².
For resale apartments in Jeddah in 2026, a realistic average is closer to SAR 4,100 per m², which is around USD 1,090 or EUR 940 per m².

Can I afford to buy in Jeddah in 2026?
What's the typical total budget (all-in) to buy an apartment in Jeddah in 2026?
As of June 2026, a foreign buyer should budget about SAR 704,000 to SAR 708,000, or about USD 188,000 to USD 189,000 and EUR 162,000 to EUR 163,000, to buy a standard SAR 650,000 apartment in Jeddah in cash.
This all-in Jeddah apartment budget usually includes the purchase price, 5% Real Estate Transaction Tax, possible brokerage, VAT on brokerage, valuation, legal checks, transfer support and small admin costs.
We go deeper and try to understand what costs can be avoided or minimized (and how) in our Jeddah property pack.
Sources and methodology: we used ZATCA, REGA and SAMA.
We then applied these official cost rules to a typical Jeddah apartment budget.
We used our own closing-cost worksheet to avoid mixing optional services with unavoidable taxes.
What down payment is typical to buy in Jeddah in 2026?
As of June 2026, a typical foreign-buyer down payment for a SAR 650,000 apartment in Jeddah is about 25%, or around SAR 162,500, which is about USD 43,000 or EUR 37,000.
The minimum down payment for a strong resident borrower can sometimes be closer to 20%, but many foreign buyers should plan for 25% to 30% because banks look closely at income, residency and employment stability.
A 30% down payment is often the more comfortable target in Jeddah because it gives the buyer more room on financing approval, monthly payments and unexpected closing costs.
Sources and methodology: we used SAMA, SAMA finance law material and ZATCA.
We separated Saudi first-home programs from normal foreign-buyer assumptions.
We also used our own bank-style affordability model for Jeddah apartment purchases.

Which neighborhoods are cheapest or priciest in Jeddah in 2026?
How much does the price per m² for apartments vary by neighborhood in Jeddah in 2026?
As of June 2026, apartment prices in Jeddah vary from roughly SAR 2,000 to SAR 3,200 per m² in cheaper outer districts to SAR 6,000 to SAR 9,000 per m² or more in prime coastal and western districts, which is about USD 530 to USD 2,400 per m².
In the more affordable Jeddah neighborhoods, Al Rahmaniyah, Al Rayyan, Al Waha, Al Manar, Al Marwah and Al Safa often sit around SAR 2,900 to SAR 3,800 per m², or about USD 770 to USD 1,010 and EUR 670 to EUR 875 per m².
In the most expensive Jeddah neighborhoods, Ash Shati, Al Zahra, Al Khalidiyyah, Al Salamah and parts of Ar Rawdah can often sit around SAR 5,500 to SAR 9,000 per m², or about USD 1,470 to USD 2,400 and EUR 1,265 to EUR 2,070 per m².
Sources and methodology: we used Raghdan, Saudi Real Estate Market and MOJ reports.
We checked private district tables against official Saudi transaction infrastructure.
We also used our own Jeddah district map to separate coastal premiums from normal inland pricing.
What neighborhoods are best for first-time buyers on a budget in Jeddah in 2026?
As of June 2026, the top three Jeddah neighborhoods for first-time apartment buyers on a budget are Al Marwah, Al Safa and Al Manar.
In these budget-friendly Jeddah neighborhoods, a normal apartment usually costs about SAR 450,000 to SAR 750,000, or around USD 120,000 to USD 200,000 and EUR 103,000 to EUR 172,000.
Al Marwah, Al Safa and Al Manar offer practical family demand, everyday services, schools, shops and better affordability than western coastal districts.
The main trade-off is that these areas do not usually offer the same sea access, prestige or premium lifestyle feel as Ash Shati, Al Zahra or Al Khalidiyyah.
Sources and methodology: we used Raghdan, JLL and Knight Frank.
We prioritized neighborhoods with both lower prices and visible transaction depth.
We avoided ranking only by cheapness because liquidity matters for a first-time foreign buyer.
Which neighborhoods have the fastest-rising apartment prices in Jeddah in 2026?
As of June 2026, the fastest-rising Jeddah apartment areas include Al Rahmaniyah, Al Qariniyah and Marikh, based on district-level market indicators.
Indicative 2026 price growth is about 27.5% in Al Rahmaniyah, 15.9% in Al Qariniyah and 11% in Marikh, although these percentages are more volatile because the areas start from lower price bases.
The main driver is affordability, because buyers priced out of central and coastal Jeddah are looking for larger, cheaper apartments in districts with improving access and new supply.
Sources and methodology: we used Raghdan, JLL and CBRE.
We treated fast growth carefully because smaller districts can move sharply from a low base.
We also compared fast-rising areas with safer districts such as Al Marwah, Al Safa and Al Fayha.

What extra costs will I pay on top of the apartment price in Jeddah in 2026?
What are all the buyer closing costs when you buy an apartment in Jeddah?
For a typical SAR 650,000 apartment purchase in Jeddah, buyer closing costs are usually around SAR 50,000 to SAR 60,000, which is about USD 13,000 to USD 16,000 or EUR 11,500 to EUR 14,000.
The main closing costs in Jeddah are the 5% Real Estate Transaction Tax, possible brokerage commission, VAT on brokerage, valuation, bank admin fees, legal support and small transfer costs.
The largest closing cost in Jeddah is usually the 5% Real Estate Transaction Tax, because it alone adds SAR 32,500 on a SAR 650,000 apartment.
Some costs can vary, especially brokerage, legal support, valuation and bank fees, while the tax rate is not something a buyer can normally negotiate.
Sources and methodology: we used ZATCA, REGA and SAMA.
We built the example from a standard SAR 650,000 Jeddah apartment purchase.
We separated unavoidable taxes from costs that depend on the broker, bank and lawyer.
On average, how much are buyer closing costs as a percentage of the purchase price for an apartment in Jeddah?
For most apartment purchases in Jeddah, buyers should budget about 7.5% to 9% of the purchase price for closing costs before adding any mortgage down payment.
A realistic low-to-high range is about 5.5% to 9.5%, with the low end applying when no buyer brokerage is paid and the high end applying to financed purchases with more support costs.
We actually cover all these costs and strategies to minimize them in our pack about the real estate market in Jeddah.
Sources and methodology: we used ZATCA, REGA and SAMA.
We converted each fee into a percentage of a typical Jeddah apartment price.

What are the ongoing monthly and yearly costs of an apartment in Jeddah in 2026?
What are typical HOA fees in Jeddah right now?
HOA or building service charges are common in many Jeddah apartment buildings, and a typical owner should budget around SAR 600 to SAR 1,000 per month, which is about USD 160 to USD 270 or EUR 140 to EUR 230.
In Jeddah, realistic HOA fees range from about SAR 300 per month in basic older buildings to SAR 1,900 or more in newer or higher-end buildings, which is about USD 80 to USD 510 or EUR 70 to EUR 440.
Sources and methodology: we used JLL, CBRE and Raghdan.
We estimated service charges from apartment size, building quality and Jeddah maintenance norms.
We kept coastal and amenity-rich buildings at the higher end of the range.
What utilities should I budget monthly in Jeddah right now?
For a typical occupied apartment in Jeddah in 2026, monthly utilities and internet usually cost about SAR 650 to SAR 1,200, which is around USD 170 to USD 320 or EUR 150 to EUR 275.
A careful one-bedroom apartment can stay closer to SAR 450 to SAR 700 per month, while a larger three-bedroom apartment with heavy summer air-conditioning can exceed SAR 1,200 per month.
This Jeddah monthly utility budget normally includes electricity, water, wastewater, internet, gas or cooking costs and small household services.
Electricity is usually the most expensive utility in Jeddah because air-conditioning runs hard during the long hot season.
Sources and methodology: we used SERA, Saudi Electricity Company and JLL.
We translated official tariff logic into monthly budgets for Jeddah apartment sizes.
We adjusted the estimate upward because Jeddah heat and humidity increase air-conditioning use.
How much is property tax on apartments in Jeddah?
For a normal completed residential apartment in Jeddah, the typical annual property tax is usually SAR 0, which is USD 0 and EUR 0.
Saudi Arabia does not apply a broad recurring annual property tax like the US, UK or France on normal completed apartments, while the main property tax cost is the 5% Real Estate Transaction Tax paid at transfer.
For most ordinary apartment owners in Jeddah, the realistic annual property tax range is therefore SAR 0, but buyers should still budget for service charges, utilities, repairs, insurance and financing costs.
Sources and methodology: we used ZATCA, REGA and Saudi Real Estate Market.
We separated one-time transfer taxes from recurring annual owner costs.
We did not treat white land rules as normal apartment property tax.
What's the yearly building maintenance cost in Jeddah?
For a normal apartment owner in Jeddah, yearly building maintenance and repair exposure is usually around SAR 5,000 to SAR 7,000, which is about USD 1,300 to USD 1,900 or EUR 1,150 to EUR 1,600.
A realistic yearly maintenance range is about SAR 3,000 for a light year to SAR 15,000 for an older building, a coastal building or a year with air-conditioning, plumbing or elevator problems.
Maintenance costs in Jeddah usually include air-conditioning repairs, plumbing, elevator contributions, common-area repairs, parking, building cleaning and reserve contributions.
Some maintenance is included in HOA fees, but owners should still keep a separate repair budget because AC units, leaks and internal fixtures often remain the owner’s responsibility.
Sources and methodology: we used JLL, CBRE and Raghdan.
We estimated maintenance from building age, apartment value and Jeddah climate risks.
We treated sea air, humidity and AC use as Jeddah-specific cost drivers.
How much does home insurance cost in Jeddah?
A typical annual home insurance budget for an apartment in Jeddah is about SAR 600 to SAR 1,800, which is around USD 160 to USD 480 or EUR 140 to EUR 415.
Basic contents insurance can be closer to SAR 400 to SAR 800 per year, while stronger owner cover or bank-linked property insurance can cost around SAR 900 to SAR 1,800 or more.
Home insurance is usually optional for cash buyers in Jeddah, but it can be required or strongly encouraged when a bank finances the apartment.
Sources and methodology: we used SAMA, JLL and CBRE.
We estimated premiums from typical Saudi bank and household insurance practice.
We adjusted the recommendation for Jeddah risks such as AC leaks, water damage and electrical faults.
