Phuket Villa, Apartment and Condo market

PHUKET PROPERTY MARKET The Phuket real estate market is Thailand’s most mature resort property market. The west coast was the first location to be developed in Phuket, with a range of resorts, condominiums and hotels. With the scarcity of prime beachfront locations in this area, the south and east coasts have become increasingly popular among homebuyers. Inland sites and golf courses are also being developed. Property buyers continue to focus on the west coast where it is still possible to acquire quality properties with outstanding views. A wide range of developments are now available on the east and south coast and neighbouring islands and provinces. As Phuket’s popularity as a destination continues to grow, with increasing demand for villas, condominiums and apartments to rent, both new homes and quality existing properties continue to offer a sound investment opportunity. Villas, condominiums and apartments for sale on Phuket’s real estate market has attracted people buying homes for both investment and to use as a holiday property. Buyers are now tending to live in their villas and condominiums for longer periods and are choosing to retire to Phuket. Phuket’s wide range of real estate suits all types of buyers, with the following property types and options available:

PHUKET VILLA A villa is the name most commonly used for a house or home in Phuket. They are normally are part of a resort and usually bought as a holiday home, often with a rental or property management service. In Phuket, there are many sizes and styles of villas, from two-bedroom pool villas to large four to six-bedroom villas with private grounds and large infinity swimming pools.
