• Don’t buy a home right now. The market is currently experiencing a bubble.
• Don’t buy the first place you see, nor the second, nor the third. Do your research and get a feel for what’s out there before you make an offer.
• You can build from scratch or you can renovate, but don’t try to do both at once—unless you’re rich or insane (or both).
• Rent before you purchase. This will give you an idea of what it costs to live in different areas, as well as how close or far away your ideal property should be from your work and other important places like schools and grocery stores. After all, that $280,000 four-bedroom villa may seem like it has everything going for it until you realize that it takes two hours to get from there to where you work every morning!
• Figure out exactly how much money your residence costs per month by factoring in utilities, maintenance fees within the compound (if applicable), and transportation/gas prices (depending on its distance from work/schools). Also consider whether any of these things are included in the price of the property itself (some may be!). Again: do this before making an offer!
• When calculating how much money your residence will cost per month, also factor in HOA fees (homeowner association fees) if applicable—including whether they are paid monthly or quarterly—and whether they have increased over time since construction on the complex was completed or in a recent year (and by how much). Some HOAs might be very affordable now but could increase down the road once renovation projects begin within their respective complexes!

• What is the real estate price in Saudi Arabia?

The real estate price in Saudi Arabia is very high compared to other countries and this is due to the demand for purchasing, selling and renting property in Saudi Arabia. Riyadh has a population of 6 million people, which means that there are many people who live and work there. These large numbers have made it difficult for people to find suitable places to live and rent. As a result, prices in Riyadh have increased rapidly over the past few years.

• How to know the exact price of the apartment?

It’s hard to know exactly how much an apartment costs because there are so many factors involved when buying a house or apartment. Some factors include location (nearby hospitals vs shopping malls), size (smaller spaces may cost less money per square foot than larger ones) as well as amenities such as parking lots available nearby with easy access from street level entrances/exits on all sides of these structures which make them desirable but also expensive if you do not plan ahead before making your purchase decision.”
