Saudi Real Estate Companion is a book edited by H.E. Mueller and A.D. Williams. It focuses on bringing international standards to the market through a focus on all aspects of a standard real estate cycle.
It is one of the first non-Arabic language books covering Saudi real estate.The book attempts to address a large range of topics covering the best ways to approach real estate investment, marketing, development and valuations. These are approached in a way as to introduce many advanced techniques to the reader using standard (non-technical) language.
The work is divided into seven key sections:
The authors dedicated a significant portion to rel estate cycles in Saudi Arabia with a focus on historic, economic and psychological factors. At the same time they highlighted the key factor impacting the market as follows:
Oil price fluctuations can make the Saudi property cycle more exaggerated as oil price despite general overall stability over the past few years, can suddenly breakout of its typical range as was seen recently. The current weakness in oil prices which appear to have lasted beyond what was expected, is having an impact on government spending and will in turn impact the real estate market.
However it should be noted that the author denied that this is the case.
