BANGKOK PROPERTY MARKET
Capital faces oversupply of condo units
Falling demand leaves developers with a large inventory of unsold units
http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2008/10/31...ss_30087290.php
Bongo Im still managing to let with ease my condos (4) just taken on a new client for 1 year priced at 14000baht per month. Advertised for 2 days now full again although did have a guy pay a deposit and never turn up?? Oh well w e kept the deposit and then re advertised 2 days later full.
I'll let you know when it changes.
I think the price range is the decider.
wow 14000baht/35 = $400 *4 properties = $1600 per month? you really are a high roller.........NOT, when you get to 6 figures in $ (not baht) i'll be impressed
your renters are smarter than you, why tie up the money in a capital trap when they can deploy the dough more effeciently some where else (such as the yen, shorting the global bourses etc) and be LIQUID and remain mobile

the $ is not rising due to strength but due to the fact that those who owe dollars are being forced to settle up in cash as the debt bubble collapses, since it has gotten more difficlut to keep rolling the loans. The result is a global short-squeeze on the dollar and soon that squeeze will end.
The US fed will lower rates tomorrow (Wednesday) and then it will be time to strap in so plan accordingly

fellas fellas, can't we agree to disagree, just remember that a Thai condo is like a bar girl, costs a lot up front, ages quickly, lacks substance and no one wants to keep long term, hope this helps

well folks, my time on this thread has concluded
i started this thread on August 17, 2007 and was met with derision by fools, the inept, and amateurs, but happily i am the one laughing now
i tried to provided guidance and warnings but kept my position despite the personal attacks thru it all, some of you on this thread are competent but most are fools (i won't mention names as there are too many bagholders to mention)
i will leave you this last piece of guidance:
1) go long the Japanese Yen
2) the bottom on the DOW (and global markets) is not in yet if 7700 on the DOW is broken (if resistance at 8500 is cleared then bounce will come)
3) go to cash (get rid of stocks, condos, any debt and ALL commodities other than gold)
4) good luck as many of you will need it (i won't need luck becasue i choose to think instead)

Look,
How many of you on this forum have a say on what happens in this country then?
I say about 5% or less.
Alot of the rest is just nonsense.
If you can vote then vote and speak.
If you can't vote then shut up and dont say what you can not do or help.
Who are you to decide those that can or cannot pass comment on a reasonably open forum?
There are many foreigners that live in thailand and are very concerned about what happens in the country , none of them can vote , but i am sure many have wives and family that can vote . What happens here has a great deal to do with their lives and future here ,so i feel sure they are as equally concerned as a 'PURE'(?) Thai that can vote , perhaps if you paid attention to some of the comments , you may learn something of value instead of being critical in a place your nose may well be out of place .
'PURE'
So all the people on here who are foreigners to my country,also WHERE MY WIFE AND CHILD LIVE.
Think they have the right to say this and that about the country. If its so bad why not go back to there own country and look at there own government.
Maybe you should stop sticking your nose into places it should not be.
then i feel sorry for YOUR WIFE AND CHILD, there are 175+ countries in this world of which there are 100+ better than LOS to raise a family
it is official, LOS has turned into a toilet, last farang out please flush

credit tightening and housing supply growing................pure genius i tell you
Financing mortgages now restricted as liquidity drops
"Banks now have to recheck cusฌtomer credit history with the Credit Bureau and also evaluate whether the applicant has the ability to pay back before approving the loan. As a result, we reject up to 40 per cent of new appliฌcations for mortgages," he said.
In the past two or three years ago, banks rejected between 20 per cent and 30 per cent of applications.

my company has a huge wad of cash and we HOPE that we can get our hands on 185. Ready to buy it now. Cash arranged.
Do we think it will ever come up for sale at a cheap price?
Chances are like 1 in 1 million.
We are one of a stream of developers with access to mega bucks.
Sails, Regent etc are a lot more problematic; and those are the types of projects that end up taking ages to sort.
But vacant land ripe to be developed?
BRING IT ON!
right keep developing and add to the already large oversupply...........pure genius i tell you, pure genius
when credit markets freeze, large down payments are required, credit terms tighten, rates spike......and viola no one left to buy into the albatross

credit markets are frozen......and yes in LOS too

glyph, is that best you have? credit markets are frozen, cash is now king, but you will learn in due time the folly of your ways
remember glyph, 4 walls and plaster will not you love you back, save the emotions for the kids and sad movies, not for investment decisions
any idea when the next LOS gvt fails?

well folks, the credit markets are frozen globally and liquidity is the way to go (aka cash is king) if you actually think that some bank is going to buy RE assets in this envt especailly in LOS, i suggest you get out of the sun and stop using yabba
cash is king, pick your spots wisely, becasue the gloabl debt bubble is deflating and unless you have cash, you will pay dearly for credit, so the LOS housing market (as the rest of the world) will feel enormous pain, as the following has GLOBAL implications, and yes even in LOS
builders will go under and there will be more empty large buildings in Bangkok

well folks, cash is king, credit markets frozen...........good luck to whats left of the real estate market, it is going to get more expensive to service all that global debt, from factories, car dealerships, new construction, builders, etc. anyone who needs credit to survive

Meanwhile, banks have the tap screwed down tightly on lending, keeping credit in a choke-hold.

i get the impression that some of the bagholders on this thread also thought the Thai SET wouldn't crumble from 800 points to 400 points because they think LOS is a land of lollipops and rainbows, stupid then and still stupid now................somehow i think yes
anyway enjoy the graph courtesy of Thaicrisis
