Luxury condos withstand Bangkok's wider slowdown

Bangkok's condo market is becoming increasingly polarised, with luxury projects continuing to outperform while the broader residential sector remains weighed down by weak purchasing power and tighter mortgage lending.

Bangkok's condo market is showing a clear divide, with luxury properties thriving while the overall residential sector struggles due to low consumer spending and stricter mortgage lending conditions. Despite this divide, luxury condos in Bangkok managed to generate a 289.8% increase in value, compared to a 6.51% rise in the broader residential market. The luxury segment has been able to withstand the wider slowdown in the Bangkok real estate market, while the rest of the residential sector continues to face challenges.
