Take some ductape and got to the latest two developments at Nana bts, start with the one that's at the base of Nana bts . Here is tip, before you go inside the show room, tape your jaw to your scull so it doesn't smack into the floor with great force lol.!And get back to us, oh and ask a decent floor.

New builds did....The ones that look new and people actually want to live there before the management and general bad maintenance burns it to the ground. People are not blind and can see that pretty much any condo older than 10 years looks absolutely dreadful comparing to Western standard and maintenance..Yes, Bangkok condos are expensive and they go up with value....But the market is not liquid at all.

Mine was 3 times cheaper when I bought it new per sqm. Outstanding management all hallways freshly painter and lifts and lobby fully renovated.

I was going to buy one on the coast but having seen the prices for such small rooms had put me right off. There are plenty of smaller condo complexes all over Bangkok. I've been around 12 seperate properties already and for a large sized 2 bedroom, loungue, kitchen dining area, balcony and hallway your looking at less than 500,000 baht. For the same thing in Pattaya you'd have to pay 6 million baht. My advice is to look around. Buy cheap and then buy a car and drive to the beach. Can you give me some examples of 2 bedroom condos you are finding in Bangkok for 500k? Always assumed you would be looking at about 4-6 million for that.

Your true profit is current market price minus 52,000 baht/m2. You can't really use that formula across the board. But let's say it just became the law then doubling the money and living rent free I would accept it but then we have so many variables to consider And according to the arm chair agents on TV, every body will lose money as they sell their condo because the next owner must lose as well . All the way down until in two hundreds years time when the market implodes completely because you see the pressure of everyone always selling at a loss can't be sustainable and then owners will just trade them for potatoes [emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have had offers from the real estate office inside the condo complex.. Maybe I should have taken them but then what? Stick it in a bank here lol 2% haha or maybe I could ask for advice from the stock traders here who are all wildly successful..

jerojero Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm disgusted by the crazy building going on in Phuket. It's an environmental disaster. Thousands of new condo under construction in a market that is absolutely dead. I see two large condo projects here in Kamala Beach where building has stopped for lack of sales. I hope all these investors/developers get screwed. Som nom na Anyone who buys a condo in this market is out of their mind. Fire sale prices on all resales at this point, yet they continue to build. Shades of 1995 speculative building until it all crashed two years later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be suprised at how many condos there are going cheap. It's a great investment opportunity. Buy a cheap condo, renovate it and sell it on at a profit. Some are close to BTS stations too.

All the way down until in two hundreds years time when the market implodes completely because you see the pressure of everyone always selling at a loss can't be sustainable and then owners will just trade them for potatoes About 30 units at OMNI Tower were auctioned off for about 25-30,000 baht/m2 in 2003 and they are selling for 50-60,000 baht/m2 on a good day, now 14 years later, which is pretty much just matching inflation. Your building might have evolved a bit better than OMNI Tower and apart for common fees and some maintenance, you have been living nearly rent free. You times your purchase perfect, if you had bought in 1996/97, you would never have recovered your investment (when correlated for inflation). Still, even with your timing, it is no way near the 3 times multiplier that you initially indicated. At best you can walk away with a small profit and have lived near rent free. Still not a bad deal.

Interesting read because I wonder if the foreign money is really behind the condo boom and not "local" market. I don't like to generalize and this is certainly not the case with my wife, but Thais are generally broke.... or in many cases land rich and cash poor. The last thing they want to do is purchase a condo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
