Banana7 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 A total of 454,814 residential units across the country were left unsold last year, with a value of US$41 billion, according to Sopon Pornchokchai, president of the Agency for Real Estate Affairs Co. I hear new condo take-up rate now is only 55% and average asking prices are 6% less than last year according to Knight Frank Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alacrity Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Development has been subsidized for a while now to assist the situation of over supply. This exacerbates the problem in the long term. Not a good time to buy. Quite recently we opted to rationalize our Thai assets and condo's along with apartments have been the only problematic investments.

So what are the facts? Personally I have found that empirical data trumps all. There's risk and there's outright gambling. At the moment real estate in many countries is an addicts investment. Hail Mary's do come in. Occasionally. Higher ability and mature understanding lessens your need for rash decisions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
