Luxury houses still top Bangkok’s real estate sales charts

In Bangkok, luxury houses continue to dominate the real estate market, showing resilience despite economic uncertainties. According to Bangkok Post, the top segment—homes priced at THB30 million and above—remains a standout performer. According to real estate experts, high-net-worth individuals are the driving force behind this trend, seeking properties that combine exclusivity with top-notch amenities. Meanwhile, the lower-range segment priced at THB5 million or less has seen slower growth due to rising interest rates and limited purchasing power among buyers. And the mass segment, with units priced between THB5-10 million, also experienced a slowdown.
