Dream - A recent study by YouGov and property consultant Knight Frank revealed that wealthy Muslims are very interested in utilizing the golden visa in Saudi Arabia to purchase property.
They are interested in buying properties in Mecca, Medina, and Riyadh. With a total investment worth almost US$2 billion or approximately Rp31,885 trillion.
The survey involved more than 500 wealthy individuals from nine countries with a significant Muslim population such as Algeria, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Iran, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, and Turkey.
A total of 82 percent of respondents said they want to buy real estate in Saudi Arabia. The Knight Frank report states that 30 percent of respondents mentioned Mecca as their main target. Next in line is Riyadh with 25 percent, followed by Medina with 19 percent.
A total of 506 individuals involved in the survey are individuals with a personal net worth of more than US$500,000, this wealth does not include the value of their primary residence.
The rich people said that they are considering buying properties in those holy cities within the next 5 years. Then about 22 percent said that they are interested in buying within the next 12 months.
"They who consider the kingdom as their permanent place of residence are most interested in Makkah (33 percent), followed by Riyadh (27 percent)," as quoted from Agbi.com website, Tuesday, April 2, 2024. The report also mentions that investors have slightly different views. With respondents evenly choosing Makkah and Riyadh as their two investment target locations, each at 28 percent."
Muslim millionaires surveyed allocate an average budget of US$4.7 million or around Rp74.9 billion for a property in one of the two holy cities. With a total investment potential from all 506 respondents, it reaches nearly US$2 billion.
Self-construction has rapidly developed in Mecca over the past decade. However, some residential projects have become controversial, especially the luxury buildings facing Masjid al-Haram that were built by the Jabal Omar developer. In January, the government announced a premium visa for property owners worth at least SAR4 million or US$1.07 million, as part of efforts to boost foreign investment and tourism in the country. Ownership by non-Saudi citizens in the two holy cities is limited to lease rights for 99 years.
