Stable Numbers, Softer Prices
In early 2025, 3,919 condos were transferred to foreigners, almost the same as last year. The total value was THB16.39 bn (USD 468M), showing a small dip. For Q4, expect activity in the same range, around 3,800 to 4,100 units worth THB15.5–17 bn (USD 440M–485M).
Who’s Buying What
Different nationalities are moving in different directions:
- China: Still the largest group, but down nearly 20 percent year on year. Buyers are cautious and shifting to cheaper units. In Q1 2025, Chinese transfers were worth THB6.12 bn (USD 175M).
- Russia: Fewer units, but higher spend per condo. Transaction values rose 6.9 percent year on year, pointing to premium deals above THB10M (USD 285K).
- Myanmar: Buying more units, especially in the THB3–5M (USD 86K–143K) bracket, but the value is lower because purchases are smaller.
- Taiwan: A clear growth story, with both units (+57.1%) and values (+47.8%) rising to THB4.3 bn (USD 123M) in 2024.
- Others: Buyers from the US, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea remain steady, usually focused on THB6–12m (USD 171K–343K) condos.
