Coastal Real Estate May Newsletter

Coastal Real Estate  May Newsletter

 

Hello, and welcome to the May issue of the Coastal Real Estate newsletter. 

Hopefully the rainy season will bring us a respite from the hot temperatures we have been experiencing throughout Thailand and bring the water that is much needed by the people in the Northeast, who have been especially hard hit by the drought. 

We have had quite a few closings over the past few weeks so hopefully this is a sign that things may begin to pick up. 

Many people think that the high season is our busiest time but in fact the low season seems to attract more serious buyers, so now is a good time to really market your property if you are selling or renting. 

Give us a call or send us an email if any of your propertie's details have changed. It might be a good idea to let us take some new photos of your property just to refresh the listing. 

We have some very nice properties selected for you this month so lets get started.

Pattaya Real Estate Market

 

 

Last month we asked our readers to take a short survey to get their thoughts about the Pattaya real estate market. 

While we were not overwhelmed with responses we would like to thank those of you who took the time to take the survey. 

Generally speaking there is a slightly pessimistic attitude to the current market in Pattaya and about 33% of those who sold a property in Pattaya over the last 6 months reduced their original price. 

With that said, 40% of those taking the survey who purchased a property within the last 6 months did so for investment purposes, so there are still people looking for solid investments. 

An overwhelming 91% of the respondents feel that Pattaya is overbuilt with condos at the present time. 

Finally, the majority of respondents answering the survey thought that real estate prices would remain steady or increase over the next year and 25% think prices will decline.

Mar 01, 2025

There’s a great mix of modest and luxury condos for sale in Pattaya central and further afield, spread over a variety of developments. Some of these developments are still under construction, with others being a mix of newly completed and older, well-established condominiums. But finding the best condo for sale in Pattaya doesn’t have to be an arduous task if you approach it in the right way.Why Pattaya is a Prime Location for Condo BuyersBefore we share our top tips on how to find the best condo for sale in Pattaya, let’s consider for a moment why this part of Thailand is such a great place for real estate. If you know what makes a condo for sale in Pattaya or Jomtien a more attractive property investment than a condo for sale elsewhere in Thailand, you can focus your search on units with an abundance of the most highly prized qualities.Firstly, Pattaya is, of course, a coastal resort, which makes it an appealing location for all types of buyers. If you can find a suitable condo in Pattaya for sale at a competitive price, it’s well worth your serious consideration for this reason alone. Secondly, it's the site of some of the best new condominium developments in this part of the world. The average condo for sale in Pattaya is built to a higher quality and finished to a better standard than many comparable properties across the region. There are many other reasons that a luxury condo in Pattaya, for sale at the right price, could be a fantastic investment opportunity, not to mention a great holiday apartment or retirement unit. Because it's a well-established resort town, there's a mature tourism infrastructure that ensures visitors from overseas are always well-catered for. There are also excellent links to Bangkok airports, so it will be easy to come and go once you find the right condo for sale in Pattaya and make your offer.Key Factors to Consider When You Buy a Condo in PattayaIf you want to find the best condo for sale in Pattaya, we recommend that you consider the following key factors as you search for suitable properties.LocationAn experienced real estate agent such as ourselves can tell you the best areas to buy a condo in Pattaya from an investment potential, but we can't tell you which areas will be most suitable for you to live in. For that, you will need to do your homework, both online and on the ground if possible.The BuildersWhen evaluating each condo for sale in Pattaya that you visit or find online, don’t forget to make a note of the development company responsible for building and finishing them. You can research these companies afterward and identify the ones with the best reputations.Maintenance FeesWhen trying to compare Pattaya luxury condos for sale and decide which one suits your wallet best, it's tempting to focus solely on the sale price. However, don't forget to consider the annual maintenance fees too. These will have to be paid every year that you own the property, and if a little on the high side, they could become onerous over time.Apart from the above factors, you should also consider the legal ramifications of making an offer on a condo for sale on Pattaya Beach Road or elsewhere in the city. Certain documentation requirements must be fulfilled: a task that’s easier to complete with a reliable real estate agent to help you.How to Find the Right Condo for Your NeedsIn our experience, the best way to find the right condo for sale in Pattaya - a property that meets all your needs at the right price is to spend some time on the ground here, talking to local property agents, visiting new and existing developments, checking out local amenities and talking to other expats who live here.Ready to find your dream condo in Pattaya?

How to Avoid Common Pitfalls When Buying Property in Pattaya

Feb 12, 2025

If you’re in Thailand looking to buy property, Pattaya is sure to be on your radar. It’s a very well-established coastal resort in the Gulf of Thailand, which means it has pretty much everything you could want in a second home and more besides. There's sun, sea, and sand aplenty and, crucially, a good supply of high-quality housing. But before you buy property in Pattaya, there are a few common pitfalls you need to be aware of.Understanding Legal Requirements and Ownership Laws in ThailandIt is, of course, possible for foreigners to buy property in Pattaya legally and live in it afterwards. However, there are rules and regulations governing foreign property ownership that you need to be familiar with before venturing into the local real estate market. Not all properties in Thailand can be directly owned by a citizen of another country, so it's important to do your research before transferring money into the country and making a serious offer on any property for sale in Pattaya, Thailand.Condos - As long as the foreign ownership quota (49% in each development) hasn't been exceeded, you can buy a condo in any development in Pattaya. Certain documentation requirements must be met, but with the right real estate agents helping you, once you're in the country, it's a relatively straightforward process to buy property. Pattaya is home to numerous property agents, but not many can boast our unique combination of local knowledge, real estate expertise, and passion for customer service. With us on your side, you can look forward to an enjoyable buying experience from start to finish.Land and Houses - At the time of writing, it’s not possible for foreign individuals to directly own land in Thailand. However, there are some legal workarounds that can be employed if you wish to buy a home with land in Pattaya or elsewhere in the country. For clients interested in Pattaya property for sale with land, there are several ownership options that can be explored. These include Thai company ownership, leasehold agreements, and marriage to a Thai national. For more information, please call or message us.If you research Thai real estate laws before you buy property, Pattaya is one of the best places in the world to acquire a retirement home or second residence. On the other hand, if you fail to do your homework, you could make a very expensive mistake. Team up with a reputable real estate agent to ensure that you’re not caught unawares.Choosing the Right Location and Property Type for Your InvestmentIf you can successfully negotiate the legal system when you buy property in Pattaya, you’re halfway to achieving your goal. However, there are other pitfalls waiting to catch you out if you take your eye off the ball, such as poor locations and the wrong property types. Before you start visiting Pattaya property agents and asking to see the best homes in the area, you must know what you’re looking for and where you would like to focus your search.Location - We always recommend visiting properties before making an offer. Even when buying off-plan, it’s crucial to visit the site before you buy property. Pattaya boasts many beautiful residential developments in fantastic locations, but there are a few lemons too. Visiting each site and familiarizing yourself with the area as a whole will help you avoid locations that are clearly not up to scratch.Property Type - The type of property you buy has legal implications, as discussed earlier. However, there are lifestyle implications that you also need to consider before embarking on a serious search for property to buy in Pattaya, Thailand. A condo by the beach may be the perfect investment for a solo traveler or couple, but for a large family, a luxury property with a garden could be a much better proposition. Take some time to think about what you really need.Avoiding Overpriced Deals and Ensuring Proper Due DiligenceHaving found the perfect property in the perfect location, you need to ensure you’re getting a good deal before making an offer. It’s always crucial to research the local real estate market thoroughly before you buy property. Pattaya boasts many condos and houses at good prices, but there are always overpriced properties on the market as well. By researching Pattaya property prices first, you can avoid making a bad investment.The easiest way to avoid common pitfalls when buying property here is to contact the best real estate property agents in Pattaya. Whatever you’re looking for, we’d be delighted to help.

Why Jomtien Beach is the Perfect Place to Buy a Condo in 2025

Jan 28, 2025

Whether you’re planning to settle in Thailand permanently or looking for a second home, Jomtien could be the perfect place to start your property search. If you buy a condo in Jomtien, everything you need will be within easy reach but not so close as to be an annoyance. Read on to discover the many reasons why Jomtien is one of the best places in the country to make a condominium purchase today.Why a Condo for Sale in Jomtien Could Be the Perfect Property for YouWhile some people may prefer to be in the thick of the action, in the center of Pattaya City, most of our clients want to live somewhere that’s a little more conducive to a relaxed, peaceful lifestyle. Jomtien scores highly in this respect and many others, as we're about to discover.A Peaceful Haven in Beautiful SurroundingsThe majority of our clients are keen to settle in a location where peace and quiet are in plentiful supply. They ask us to help them buy a condo in Jomtien because it offers the perfect combination of convenience and calm. Although it's just a 15-20-minute drive from the center of Pattaya, there's a significantly more relaxed atmosphere in this part of Chonburi province. Away from the cheaper hotels and guesthouses that make Pattaya Central a Mecca for budget travelers from across the globe, genuine tranquillity can be found in the tasteful residential locale of Jomtien. If this sounds like the sort of place you’d like to put down some roots, let us show you a condo for sale in Jomtien that will allow you to live your dream lifestyle.A Thriving Location with Modern AmenitiesWhen you buy a condo in Jomtien, you acquire a property in one of the country’s most sought-after locations. Jomtien Beach is just south of Pattaya Beach, separated by the promontory on which Pratumnak Hill is located. This means peace and tranquillity won’t come at the expense of your convenience, quite to the contrary. The proximity of so many superb amenities is actually one of the main reasons that condos in this area are in such demand.Among the many amenities you can look forward to enjoying when you buy a condo in Jomtien are some fantastic shopping destinations, eateries, and entertainment venues. Large shopping malls, high-end restaurants, nightclubs, bars, cafes, and local markets will all be just a short drive away when you buy a condo in Jomtien, not to mention a host of beautiful beaches. There's Jomtien Beach itself, of course, which is just a short walk from some of the best condos in this part of Thailand, together with Pattaya Beach, Wong Amat Beach, and Tien Beach. If you like to explore, you'll find plenty of smaller beaches, some of which are still relatively unknown.Affordable Luxury in a Competitive MarketYou won't find a decent condo for sale in Pattaya or Jomtien at a bargain basement price because it’s such an attractive part of the country to live in. However, if you’re looking for value, you’ll often find Jomtien Beach condos for sale at lower prices than comparable properties in central Pattaya. How long this situation will last is not clear, but for the moment at least, the average condo for sale in Jomtien represents outstanding value for money.The best condos for sale in Jomtien rival the best condos for sale in Pattaya Central as far as luxury and comfort are concerned. You can expect quality fitted kitchens, beautiful bathroom suites, modern reception rooms, and air conditioning throughout when you buy a condo in Jomtien.A Lifestyle Investment for Work and LeisureBuy a condo in Jomtien and you’ll be ideally located for both work and leisure. 15 minutes from Pattaya’s commercial district, a couple of minutes from the beach, and within easy driving distance of some of Thailand’s top tourist amenities, there are few better places to be than Jomtien Beach. To see the best property for sale in Jomtien, contact the best real estate property agents in the area: Coastal Real Estate.Incidentally, if you're not looking for the quiet life and you're someone who loves to stay in the busiest part of town wherever you go, we’d be delighted to help.

Whether you’re interested in luxury property for sale in Pattaya or Jomtien, we’re the real estate agents to contact.
