Prix des appartements à Bangkok

En gros le prix dépend de la zone d'habitation, plus vous êtes prêt des transports en commun, plus c'est cher : en moyenne 70000 thb/m2 et 84500 thb/m2 dans les emplacements "up". Jusqu'à 120000 thb/m2 pour les emplacements les plus chers.

Conseils : méfiez vous des agences qui vous conseillent d'investir dans un condo pour y passer vos vacances ou comme placement. Il y a une certaine chasse à "l'étranger" et vous pouvez vous faire saisir votre appartement si votre agent n'a pas été très prudent. En plus les prix de location
qu'ils vous promettent sont très fantaisistes, ie très surévalués. Il faut savoir que dans le quartier de Onnut on trouve facilement un studio de 30 m2 pour 6000 thb/mois.

Mass transit still a big draw for condos

Despite a housing market contraction in the first half of the year, condominiums near BTS and MRT routes continued to sell better than those in other areas, according to a recent survey.

The best condo sales rates were in Lat Phrao and mid-Sukhumvit (between Phra Khanong and Onnuj), near MRT and BTS stations, with average sales rate of 79% and 78% respectively.

The average sales rate in the overall market was 64% - or 46,137 out of 71,581 units offered at 173 active sites in August 2009 - according to the property developer and consultant Aquarius Estate Co Ltd.

"The key success factor for best-selling projects was location within 500 metres' walking distance to BTS and MRT stations," said Yongyutt Chaipromprasith, the company's chief executive.

He said the condominium market in the first quarter was sluggish but improved in the second quarter, highlighting the rising sales volume of grade B properties.

The company classifies condominiums in terms of prices and materials - higher than 120,000 baht per square metre for grade A; 90,000 to 120,000 baht for grade B+; 60,000 to 90,000 baht for grade B; and 30,000 to 60,000 baht for grade C.

In the first eight months of the year, 38 new condominiums were launched with a total of 12,864 units, 5,450 units of which, or 42%, were sold. Average prices in the surveyed zones were 84,500 baht per sq m.

The company surveyed nine zones: Phaya Thai-Ratchathewi, Rama IV-Yaowarat, Ratchadamri, prime Sukhumvit (Chidlom-Ekamai), mid-Sukhumvit, outer Sukhumvit (Onnuj-Udom Suk), Phahon Yothin, Thon Buri and Rama IX.

The average price per square metre rose by 28% from 2007 to 2008, climbing from 57,600 to 74,000 baht. However, the price dropped to 70,000 baht per in the first eight months of 2009 as most of the supply was grade C.

"New condominium development has moved to locations near mass transit," he said. Newly launched projects near transit routes this year accounted for 55% of the market, up from 39% in 2007 and 32% in 2008.

The survey found that many developers were using eased payment terms as a strategy to speed up buyers' decisions. Some developers faced problems like tighter project finance by banks, environmental impact assessments and other regulations related to construction.

Between January and May this year, housing market ratios changed slightly from all of 2008. The proportion of newly registered detached houses rose from 34% to 39% but the condominium ratio declined from 48% to 44%. Townhouses and shophouses were little changed, from 15% to 16% , and duplex houses dropped from 3% to 1%.
