How to Check Property Prices in Al Andalus Using Official Sources

- Ministry of Justice real estate exchange (البورصة العقارية): the ministry's platform for listing and trading properties with registered title deeds.
- Ejar platform: for registered leases. To understand what drives a rent figure, see how rental prices are calculated in Saudi Arabia.
Since 25 September 2025, rents for residential and commercial property inside Riyadh's urban area have been frozen for five years, for both new and existing leases. Al Andalus is within this area.
