i post my own reply to my question..and for the 79 other people who had a look at my post and couldn't reply to it...

yes naseem, safa no.7, and jamia areas, average about 25000 for something big and new, not much for online real estate in the kingdom best option is look for yourself building by building Smile

Dear SNIZ,

Yup, in Saudi, sooner or later, you do start talking to yourself. Sorry I couldn't answer your question, but it's been twenty-four years since I last lived in Jeddah.
Regards,
John

Real Estate business - like all business in KSA - is done face-to-face. Online is not big.

Of course there is the disadvantage here taht as soon as the locals see a fair-haired, blue-eyed Westerner the price4s go up by at least 50 percent.

Dear eclectic,

It's thirty-one years and counting now. But there are others (scot47, for example) who have probably been at it even longer.)

Regards,
