Throughout 2025, REDF made meaningful progress toward the Vision 2030 homeownership target of 70%, with national ownership reaching 66.2%. This achievement reflects a more integrated, collaborative and financially sustainable housing system. The year confirmed that homeownership is no longer treated solely as a social programme, but as a cornerstone of economic participation, household stability, urban development and long term national prosperity. The successes of 2025 were underpinned by three mutually reinforcing drivers:
Financial ecosystem leadership, through deepened collaboration
across the housing ecosystem.
Implementation of the updated corporate strategy and human capital
transformation.
Institutional excellence, demonstrated through advanced digital
transformation, automation, governance and increased data-driven
decision making.
Raising Homeownership Rates
Looking ahead into 2026, REDF’s potential for success will increasingly depend on product and policy innovation, delivered on a strong foundation of financial sustainability. Key priorities for the coming year include expanding access for vulnerable segments to reflect changing demographics and homeownership needs, through structured pathways such as rent-to-own, shared ownership and, over time, regulated fractional ownership; advancing the customer journey through further deployment of digital platforms and artificial intelligence; and deepening financial sustainability by working even more closely with financial ecosystem partners and institutional investors. Overall, 2025 marked a transition for REDF, from programme delivery to financial ecosystem leadership, supported by a renewed strategy and strengthened senior leadership — providing confidence that the Kingdom can reach its homeownership targets in a way that is inclusive, financially resilient, and aligned with the aspirations of a new generation of Saudi citizens.
