How Much Does a Website for a Real Estate Company or Developer Cost in Saudi Arabia in 2026?

There is a big difference between a site that presents your company’s properties and a platform where everyone advertises. The first is a company website with a property section: you add the listings, the visitor enquires with you, and the goal is a lead that reaches your sales team. The second is a marketplace with advertisers, accounts, moderation and featured ads; it sits in a different price range altogether and has its own guide.

This guide is about the first. Most brokerages and developers need nothing more: a presence that shows in Google when someone searches a district or a project, a persuasive page for each property, an easy way to enquire, and a clear path for that enquiry inside the company. Advertising on the well-known platforms remains an important channel; the website is the place you own and build your name on.

A real estate site has few static pages. What moves the price is the property section and what happens after an enquiry:

A first version that brings in clients: a home page, an about page, a property section with basic filters, a page for each property with photos, specifications, location, an enquiry form and a WhatsApp button, a contact page, and a CMS where your staff add listings. This usually costs SAR 5,000–25,000 depending on design and the number of listings.

What can wait: map search, virtual tours, client accounts and favourites, and the English version if your audience is local. What we do not recommend postponing: building properties as a database rather than hand-made pages, and recording the source of every enquiry. The first makes later growth an addition rather than a rebuild; the second tells you which channel really brings clients.

A real estate website is worth the number of serious enquiries that reach someone who answers quickly. Many sites collect enquiries in a shared mailbox nobody opens until the next day, and a property client calls more than one office within the same hour. So ask of every quote: what happens in the first minute after the visitor presses “send”?

The minimum is an instant alert to the responsible agent with the property name and the visit source. Better: the enquiry enters a CRM, is assigned automatically by area or project, and triggers a reminder if nobody replies. You can add an automated assistant on WhatsApp or on the site that answers common questions and asks about budget and preferred district before handing the client to sales. These additions move the site into the range for sites with integrations, SAR 20,000–50,000.

Real estate advertising and brokerage in Saudi Arabia are regulated by the Real Estate General Authority, including requirements on licensing property advertisements and advertisers. These requirements change, and we do not give legal advice. Check with the Authority or a qualified adviser to learn what applies to showing properties on your site before you launch.

Technically, the property section is built to accommodate this: fields for licence details shown on the property page, a block on publishing incomplete listings, and a log of who published what and when. The names and numbers of people who enquire are personal data under the Personal Data Protection Law, so the forms carry the privacy policy and consent to be contacted.

Ready-made real estate templates are plentiful and cheap, and they give you a property section and search from day one. Their usual problems: a translated interface that does not quite suit Arabic, fields that do not match the local market, heavy code that slows the site, and difficulty connecting to your sales system. They suit a small office starting out, provided the domain and hosting are in your name.

Custom design builds the fields and filters around how you work, and it is faster and easier to integrate and extend. After launch, budget for the domain and hosting, maintenance of SAR 1,000–5,000 a year for a small site, and as a general rule 15% to 20% of the build cost each year. Add property photography: it affects the visitor’s decision more than anything else, and it is usually outside any development quote.

Ask to see the admin panel, not only the front end: add a property yourself, change its status to “reserved”, send an enquiry and follow where it lands. At Fortune Code we start with a written scope and a contract, payments tied to delivery, a written delivery date that we keep, and fast technical support after launch. The code, accounts and domain are yours, and we send a written proposal within 24 hours.
