Abstract : The purpose of this study is to identify the most important variables that affect expenditure on the construction of residential buildings and discuss the most prominent challenges and obstacles that face this sector in Saudi Arabia from 1987 to 2007 by using a standard economic model . The findings may contribute to drawing the strategies and policies that might help planners to reach the optimal position of housing market in Saudi Arabia. Using Least Squares (OLS) to find the process of assessment and reach the relationship between (the value constructing residential units in million Saudi riyals) and the following explanatory variables (growth of population , total local production in million Saudi riyals, growth of interest rate , inflation rate , growth of government consumption , net real estate development loans). Finding results have confirmed high statistical significance of the assessed model as well as statistical significance of some independent variables . These results showed a negative effect of the variables of: number of population, interest rate and inflation rate whereas a positive effect of total local production was clear. The results also showed flexibility of the expenditure on the construction of residential buildings with respect to change in the gross domestic product, while the flexibility is lower with respect other independent variables. This study has reaches a number of important recommendations as follows: encouraging vertical residential expansion; constructing residential units in the suburbs of main cities; providing basic services and public utilities for constructing dwellings for individuals who were granted residential plots of land ; developing real-estate development fund ; creating database on housing market
