Condo Market Surge in Pattaya: Breaking the Records
New condo launches in Pattaya are on track for a significant uptick. Colliers Thailand projects that these launches will rise by 50% to a remarkable 5,000 units in 2024. This forecasted number signals a new peak for the region, surpassing last year’s record of 3,302 units, itself a striking 123% increase from 2022. The buzz in the real estate community is palpable, as stakeholders brace for what could be a bustling year ahead.
This projected growth paints a rosy picture for Pattaya’s real estate market, and the confidence is contagious. Jomtien, the undisputed center of new condo activity, accounted for 43% of the launched units last year. Trailing behind yet still significantly contributing were Phra Tamnak at 28% and Pattaya City at 16%. These locales continue to charm prospective buyers and set the stage for even more robust development.
Buyers Galore: Local and Foreign Interests
Average take-up rates for the Pattaya condo market stand at a robust 76%, with Pattaya City commanding the highest rate at 87%. The fascination with these properties leaves only 615 units of inventory unsold, indicating a healthy demand-supply balance so far. An intriguing trend is the resurgence of foreign buyers, particularly from China and Russia, who re-entered the market with renewed vigour in 2023. Remarkably, some even purchased multiple units within single projects, highlighting the confidence international buyers have in Pattaya’s condo market.
Local demand, strong and steady, shows no signs of abating. Buyers are particularly keen on acquisitions from reputable developers, viewing them as prudent investment opportunities. This dual interest from both local and foreign circles underpins a robust market sentiment — a critical factor for sustained growth in the real estate sector.
Price Dynamics and Market Cautions
The average selling prices of condos in Pattaya have remained stable despite the influx of new units. Stability, however, is a relative term. Prices in coveted areas like Wong Amat have soared, with some projects fetching upwards of 188,000 baht per square meter. Conversely, areas such as Jomtien see lower average prices, influenced by the preponderance of mid-level projects. Beachfront properties, retaining their premium status, continue to command prices over 120,000 baht per square meter, reflecting their unique market allure.
While the trajectory appears optimistic, developers are urged to tread carefully before rolling out new projects. The risk of an oversupply could loom, potentially destabilizing the market. Industry experts advocate a cautious approach, ensuring a balanced market that continues to attract both local and foreign investors, thus fostering sustainable growth. As Pattaya surges ahead, maintaining equilibrium will be paramount to the long-term vitality of its condo market.
