now you have up the ante to a mil(from 850k) around 20% increase,which surely will  give you more options, then the 850 k we were  trying to assist your call of help and advice (good or bad)!!!

now its a small bedroom house (dog box size  70 sq metre)not a two bedrooom,which are generally in the 100 / 120 sq metre range,and upwards

perhaps a pic of your Handong find,would assist this board on what you have acheived

If by "plenty" you mean a dozen under 850k, the next question is whether any westerner would want to live there and how much it would cost to bring it up to speed! BTW certain property agencies (who shall remain nameless, ahem cough cough) don't always delete sold/rented/never really was for sale in the first place properties from their advertising as promptly as they perhaps could.

Since the ThaiVisa classifieds are no longer in service, there is no best place to search. 

 

Baht and Sold is alright.

 

A lot of naff 'information' on here -- 'Sansai is rubbish' etc. I mean, why bother posting tripe unless you have something to contribute?

 

Best deal I ever had was a bank repo; very smooth process.

 

I agree with the 'this is 2016' sentiment. It's all different now and you would struggle to get anything for that kind of money in an area you would want to spend time in. Better off renting for now and saving methinks... or look for a condo and have the peace of mind of ownership.

San Sai maybe rubbish but it`s still not cheap. Even as far out as Sanpatong it would be hard pushed to find a 2 bedroom house with land for 850000.

 

My guess is even a town house will cost 1.5 mil unless it`s miles out from the town in the middle of nowhere. Times have changed. The once 500000 baht up to 1 million bahtstarter homes have long gone.

Opal bought a small plot in a development in San Patong, just off highway 108 near the Police Station for around 400,000bht.

Her sister-in law (brother deceased) also bought one in the same development for the same price and had a two bedroom house built on it for another 450,000bht.

Certainly not fitted out with luxury fixtures and fittings but its a nice house and a decent build for the price.  

The one Opal bought is surplus to requirements and she has told the family to dispose of it, market is slow and no real interest with any moneyed people at the original purchase price of seven years ago.

Presumably construction costs for basic entry level housing have also remained fairly static and suggesting that although San Patong might take it beyond the OP's transport radius, there is a possibility there would be others in the area that could meet the expressed budget.

Not surprised by some of the comments.  There are many long time CM expat residents that have probably been paying inflated prices on almost everything for years, yet are experts on lower income Thai housing.

Yawn! And then there are those longer term expats who watch listen and learn about the price of assets around them and are able to contribute constructively, just like people would do "back home", don't ya think!!!

No one ever gets properties from the banks for the marked prices. These properties usually go to the highest bidders like an auction.

 

A 2 bedroom property in or close to the city for 850000 baht, sorry, no way. 2 mil/3 mil is a more realistic figure.

 

 

Auction is fair.

 

Is it rigged?

Opals remaining brother lives in Phayao.

He has recently had built a modest place in Chiang Mai to accommodate his daughter attending Payap University, and son who has started a business near CMU.

The land was 300,000bht and the two storey 2 bedroom house built for a further 650,000bht, It is in the Hang Dong area and located somewhere within the circle.

There is about 2-3mtr between the house and the rear / side boundaries so we are not talking about a huge tract of land.

650,000bht for the build, 300,000bht for the plot, and I don't pull legs, even if a cousin from over the ditch.

Perhaps the Construction industry has taken a leaf out of the National Park handbook and many other services when there might be a sniff of a "non citizen" influence.

Mind you wasn't there to inspect the build progress so who knows, maybe 1 cement to a 12 aggregate mix and a pile of rubble in 3 years.

Nice one Paul.... I especially like the comment about the 1 to 12 mix.  If youre not around to supervise construction, by the time the mortar is dry;  you will never really know what the walls are made from.

 

How are things back in the Land of the Long White cloud?

Regarding NZ in general, or specifically for me? Either way a proper reply would be voluminous and a troll field day would ensue, so to keep it brief, am well and blessed, Spring has arrived and is a joy to be out in the garden after work with a wind down beer or two.
