I doubt she suddenly became a prostate.

Where did you find her? In a bar?

ePacket has a weight limit of 2kg

Otherwise just ship by ePacket. The parcels arrive relatively fast. ePacket and EMS are loaded in the same plane anyway. No difference whatsoever.

I am speaking from a position of 100% undeniable fact- i have 1st hand knowledge at my finger tips of completed sales prices due to the business i am in

 

i dont need to chit chat or gossip about price... i know with 1 million % certainty.

 

Obviously you will say 'prove it' which you obviously know i cannot do as it will give away to much personal info, there are a number of members on here who know me in real life.

 

We can agree to disagree.

Yea... so go ahead. Post the listing and a sold price and I will give it to my wife to cross check.

Kind Regards

Its 90% not luck but simple common sense and doing your DD on the developer, location, surroundings etc.... Did you get your 'wifey' to confirm your opinions were wrong? Thought not...

No, I did not. It requires more than a day of chit chat and that information may be confidential.

But perhaps you can prove the amazing asking sales prices since you seem so confident.

Thought not

Some moving of goal posts here.... you said old condos are decrepit and no value, now you are talking about <deleted> in On Nut and Sriricha.... well yes like anywhere there is plenty of rubbish and <deleted> developers.... So as I said its up to you to pick wisely.

Whatever. 

No not everywhere is rubbish. My real estate back home has 10-year builder warranty and is still standing strong after 30 years, No issues whatsoever. 95% of properties are built like crapola in Thailand, Sri Racha or Bangkok or your hiso neighborhood in Tonglor. Just because some get lucky with a few developments means absolutely nothing.  There is no moving of goals, just cold hard facts.

While you are at it, get your wifey to check Park Chidlom next door, Domus, Sathorn Gardens just to give you some more examples of Condos with successful sales in the past year well in excess of their original prices many years ago.

The prices from 30 years ago are up, sure.

The prices from 10 years ago are mostly down. 10 years can beconsidered a long term trend.

Prices of houses are up from 10 years ago. I'll get on it if I can get info from wifey.

In the news yesterday the road in a housing development in Sri racha housing project collapsed swallowing some houses and cars. The buyers have been complaining about the construction problems since the beginning. After 1 year passed developer says not our proplem warranty over.  The buyers stuck. Channel 8 news.

Some condos on On Nut that are 2 years old literally leaking water from both windows and walls these days due to rainfall. Inspected first hand because I'm looking for a rental in this area due to wife's new job. Awful,. Now I 100% believe you about the condos you mentioned. I just don't believe there are any sales happening at asking prices. Thais are broke, Chinese are not allowed to travel due to money leaving....I mean covid.

It's dead!

There are many examples of condo buildings whose values have risen over the years if you buy in a good location from a good developer and a good manager... one of the oldest condos in Bangkok was Somkid Gardens which i believe when launched were selling at 40K per sqm, now resales are at 200K + 30 years later.

 

Just because you cannot do your due diligence properly or understand location benefits, does not mean that no one does or there are not good condos out there. Granted their are a lot of dogs, but thats why you need to understand the market, the developers etc

Just because you see the average price per square meter on hipflat doesn't mean that condos are selling for that price at all.

You really have no idea how difficult it is to close a condo sale these days, do you?

My wife's condo is also up on paper and on hipflat.  She's been trying to sell it at a discount for a year now. Only 1 interested investor asking for even bigger discount.

Let me know how many condos at Somkid Gardens were sold in the past year. If you don't know I will let you know as wifey knows a few people at CBRE

Oh dear

going by facebook adverts rents are on the way back to pre covid levels, I've not seen any 8k Base ones in a while

Agents use Facebook adverts are for clueless newbies. You can still get cheap rents. Maybe a crappy floor and view, but still cheap.

This is the first time I hear 2 bank acounts are ok? How does the bank letter work confirming you have sufficient amount of money when you don't.

Even if it's ok it seems like a lot of work. Go to 2 banks to get a letter, than get an updated bank book. If one of your bank accounts is SCB good luck updating as chaeng watthana has no branch.

It's beginning to look a lot like Thailand ????

You are 37 and you will get bored living in one place. When you want to move you will have trouble selling even for a loss and you will also have trouble renting it out. 

You can renovate it as much as you want, but the old building will still be in decrepit state. Surely by living and working here you noticed the state of condos here. Now be prepared to get spammed by posters who bought here saying their condo management is amazing. Trust them if you want just like that YouTube channel.

Exactly.

 

Built our 3 bedroom house for less than that and it looks like a REAL house -not far off Western standard - designed and project managed by a qualified architect from a massive well known firm. Okay, he is kinda a friend of the family and gave a friendly price, but still...

 

This guy's one for 1.6m (I'm sorry to say) looks like his wife's uncle or father build it (tin roof n all) for a few hundred thousand and pocketed over a million in his own bank account.

Actually he didn't say which dollars. If US than it's over 2mil baht.

Seriously, you forgot, or deliberately left out that it:

 

 

It's not us dollars.

The fact that's built in 1967 just proves its worth. Show me how 1967 house looks like in Thailand .

The solar house for 1.6 million baht with no running electric just looks ridiculous. Probably submerged in water by now.

And here's detached. Many many more

Brand new custom build w/solar ฿1.6 m = $57,421 CAD

NO electric bill, NO RE Taxes, almost.  $1000s a year saved.

 

 

1.6 million baht.

Looks extremely overpriced.

You live in Isaan or 100km from Chiang Mai. That's where most delusional expats live

Yes, just try deflect your obvious garbage commenary before.

Are you seriously comparing a house that you don't own in the middle of nowhere to a house in a 1st world country?

Here is a price of a house in the middle of nowhere in a 1st world country. Canadian dollars. Plenty to choose from too.

Where else in the world, (1st world country) do you get to build a 6 bedroom 3 bathroom 320 square metre house for 6,250 baht per square metre or loose change, 2 million baht ?

Ok, let's try to be a bit realistic here.

As a matter of fact, you can find many houses in 1st world countries for cheap. They are not in NY, London or Vancouver. They are in the middle of nowhere, just like where your house is.

Try buying a house in Bangkok and then let us compare.

Even better, compare the 26 square meter influencer condo in Bangkok with nice amenities and a room where you can't even swing the cat. Then compare it to the average condo 60 square meter 1 bed condo in the big city first world country. Here an oven, dishwasher or God forbid a bathtub is a luxury. To rent or buy an equivalent condo you'd have to rent at Shangri La
