driedmango Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I am just wondering if there is ever a condo that sells say for $600 000 baht ? And what the monthly fees would be like, and what to watch out for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMweb Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Not easy to find, but there are some 30 sq. m. units in PP condo, not real a condo but a good place if you don't have much money You also can get this one ready to move in http://www.buyrentchiangmai.com/listing/condo-for-sale-hot-price.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamSipEt Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 A condo? Not for that sort of money but you could get a small room e.g. a few are shown here http://asiapropertyworld.com/properties/index.php?order=2 They are all very basic and most need renovation but might be what you are looking for.

TommoPhysicist Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) You can buy a condo just outside cm for about 150kbht, or near the train station 250kbht. Small 30-40m2 but good value. Edited March 6, 2013 by TommoPhysicist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I've known of condos in buildings like Nakorn Ping and Srithana going for prices this low -- but they were definitely fixer-uppers, i.e. in bad or trashed condition, no working aircon, no kitchen facilities, etc. In other words, they were barely habitable, but there are people who like to buy these bad condos, refurbish them and turn them into something nice for rental property investment.

driedmango Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 I think Chiang mai , for better or worse, is going to boom.. with condos cheap as Detroit it can't last at those prices. It will take people from china a few years to make a purchase after this movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for myself I tend to see things through western eyes. But Thai's don't always see things as we do. I suggested we get a semi large house. Small by western standards 90sqM The wife said no. She moved her mother into a place and I looked at it and said I would pay more for another place once again the answer was no. That only changed when the floods came and the roof leaked. The one thing I have noticed when a expat looks for a place or talks about their place is they hardly ever mention location as being a big factor. To me that is number one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be loads for sale soon (already are) and anyone who bought for investment might get burned badly. Same as the discounted cars, won't be too long before the payments become a pain in the tushky and people need the cash/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 There's loads, still a buyers market you just have to do some leg work Here's another http://chiangmaiproperties.co.th/Condo_Sale_list.aspx?min=0&max=1000000 There are probably good deals for older condos (I haven't checked the market for over a year), but the prices advertised for the new "luxury" condos are ridiculous. But you are correct, someone looking for a budget condo just needs to put some time and effort into it. If they are content with a small room in an older, not well maintained building, there are many choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 By the way another project is coming up in Nong Puen area about 5 mins drive from Plaza 89....The Diya Valley...landed.... prices from 1.5 million baht.. This is a housing development and without having seen the details it sounds cheap for what will become an OK area. The whole area around Plaza 89 and round behind Varee School is buzzing with development. With the build up of traffic, people are beginning to see the value of avoiding tedious school runs.

driedmango Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Is it a bad time to buy ? I am looking for place with character, in the old city would be cool or just outside.. I am thinking long term as an investment and rental in the meanwhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) There are building restrictions in place in the old city, banning the construction of high rise buildings. So most condominiums would not be inside the old city. Most of them are Chang Klan / Riverside areas, or out towards Nimmanhaemin, CMU and the Canal Road. So the best areas would likely be either on the river, or off Suthep Road. Nimmanhaemin too if you like that scene and like traffic. Few of those areas have units for 600K though. You need to bring triple that for a nice unit. (Or minimum 1,2 mil or so). That's for new buildings. Or you can try your luck with an old building and renovate. Look at sois South of Suthep Road actually. It's a sane area, and not too far from either Nimmanhaemin or the old city. And there are some older buildings where you might get a good deal. So anyway, within your budget, I would buy something like this. http://chiangmaiproperties.co.th/condo/sale/Studio-room-1-bathroom-with-partly-furnished-in-Kiang-Mo-Condo/C841.aspx (http://goo.gl/maps/tZwub ) Sensible location, you just want to find a unit with a bit more of a view. Could add some money, but the general location is worth looking into. There should be more options in that area. Or a cheap option near the river: http://chiangmaiproperties.co.th/condo/sale/Studio-room-1-bathroom-with-fully-furnished-in-Santisuk-Condo/C842.aspx Edited March 8, 2013 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
