Registered rents (REGA)

GET/market/registered-rents

Free on every plan (0 units). This is Saudi open data, served at no charge under the Saudi Open Data License v2.0 with attribution: show attribution.notice wherever you display or pass on the figures.

Registered rents from REGA's quarterly rent index ("مؤشر الايجار", published on open.data.gov.sa): for each neighborhood and property type, the mean yearly rent of the residential leases registered on Ejar that quarter, the mean yearly rent per m², and the number of contracts behind them.

These are means, not medians. REGA publishes the mean; a few large leases pull it up, so it usually sits above a median. Compare them with other means, and price_source: "registered" figures with other registered figures: asking prices from /market/summary are a different quantity.
Money is yearly: mean_rent_sar is SAR per year and mean_rent_per_sqm_sar SAR per m² per year.
Cells with fewer than 5 contracts are withheld (min_sample_size, which you can raise but not lower). 41% of REGA's cells in Kite's cities hold 1–4 contracts, but only 0.8% of contracts; at that size the same cell's mean moves 20–29% from one quarter to the next, which is noise, not rent. coverage says how many cells and contracts were withheld.
neighborhood_id is Kite's neighborhood where REGA's name has been matched to one (daily). Unmatched cells are still returned with neighborhood_id: null and REGA's own names; filtering by neighborhood_id returns matched cells only. town_ar is REGA's city: for eastern_province and qassim a Kite city spans many towns whose neighborhood names repeat, so read the two together.
is the mean over every contract REGA counted in the city that quarter, withheld cells included (each cell's mean weighted by its contracts). It moves with where leases were signed, so a change from one quarter to the next is partly mix; for a rent trend use the series of GET /market/property-index. Per m² is not totalled, because REGA doesn't say how its per-m² mean is weighted.

Name	Type	Description
`city`requiredquery	`string`	City slug from GET /cities. A town inside a covered region is accepted and resolved to its city (`dammam`, `khobar`, `dhahran`, `jubail` and `qatif` to `eastern_province`; `buraydah` and `unaizah` to `qassim`; `hofuf` to `al_ahsa`), as are Arabic city names. The response's `filters.city` and the `X-Resolved-City` header show the slug used.
`neighborhood_id`query	`integer[]`	Limit to one or more neighborhoods (comma-separated ids from GET /cities/{city}/neighborhoods). Unknown ids are a 404; a known neighborhood with no matched REGA cell returns no cells.
`property_type`query	`string[]`	REGA's residential property types (comma-separated): `apartment` (شقة), `studio` (استديو), `floor` (دور), `villa` (فيلا), `duplex` (دوبلاكس). Default all. Studios are their own type in REGA's index and are not included in `apartment`. One of: `apartment`, `studio`, `floor`, `villa`, `duplex`
`period`query	`string`	Quarter as `YYYY-Qn`. Default: the latest REGA has published for the city.
`min_sample_size`query	`integer`	Withhold cells with fewer contracts than this. At least 5.

`available_periods`required	`string[]`	Quarters REGA has published for this city, newest first.

`price_basis`required	`string`	One of: `yearly_rent`
`statistic`required	`string`	One of: `mean`
`min_sample_size`required	`integer`
`cells`required	`object[]`
`coverage`required	`object`
`city_totals`required	`object[]`	City-wide mean per property type, over all cells including withheld ones. Not filtered by `neighborhood_id`.
`attribution`required	`object`	Licence notice, licence links and source datasets. Figures derived from Saudi open data are served under the Saudi Open Data License (an adaptation of ODC-By), which requires this attribution to travel with them.
