The housing problem in Saudi Arabia did not, five years ago, receive the attention it receives now. It is now the talk of the town and a hot topic. Perhaps this is a positive thing and may encourage young people to seriously think about housing before they get old. Despite the various negativities surrounding the issue of housing, the new generation may come to realize the importance of owning a home and work toward seeing this materialize. They will avoid making the same mistakes their parents made when things were less complicated and the price of land was not high. Many people opted not to own their own land and carried on renting thinking the price of land would not increase. The people who talk about housing on TV or in social media can be divided into different categories. Some are serious about this issue, some have no clue about it and some are pursuing their own interests. The majority, however, are neutral and patriotic. Most of the debates taking place online are illogical and cast doubts on the issue. The market and the way it evolves will have the final say on the matter. There is a difference between someone who has the capability to analyze and predict market trends based on long-term experience and someone who is still a novice in this field. The latter has not analyzed the problem properly and might, therefore, give us wrong or misleading information knowingly or unknowingly. His views will be anything but accurate. We are dealing with an issue that concerns ordinary people who are looking for someone to guide them and provide them with a realistic view that reflects the conditions of the market. They want someone who can help them make the right decision on when is the right time to buy land and what is the best way to do it. Most citizens have not bought land over the past few years due to high prices. Other reasons include faltering housing projects, difficulties in securing financing and the absence of basic services such as electricity and water in various plots of land that are up for sale. Recent decisions like imposing fees on government-owned land? ?and ensuring that there are basic utility services will help resolve the housing problem. More importantly, decreasing oil prices will lead to a decrease in the price of land.
