About Sakan

Sakan (سكن) is a real estate marketplace and app operating under the sa.sakan.co domain for Saudi Arabia. Its country selector also lists Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and the United Kingdom, which suggests a multi-market footprint.

The Saudi site lists properties for sale and rent, property requests, and real estate projects, with filters by property type: residential, commercial, agricultural, industrial, health, educational and townhouse. Featured listings on the home page are apartments in Jeddah districts such as Al Faisaliyah and Al Naeem, shown with price, rooms, bathrooms and area. Under a services section the platform offers listing a property, requesting a property, a mortgage calculator, a broker network and a recently added virtual broker. Other sections include a blog, a valuation request form and market statistics. Brokerage firms have their own affiliate pages on the platform, and users can sign in through Nafath, Saudi Arabia's national identity service, or Google.

The site footer links to pages for partnership, complaints and suggestions, terms, privacy and a students centre. The crawled pages do not state when the company was founded, who founded it, where it is headquartered or how it is funded. The directory classifies it as a seed-stage technology and real estate startup.
