The value of condominium units transferred to foreign buyers in Thailand rose 20.2% year on year in the second quarter of 2026, according to data from the Real Estate Information Center (REIC) under the Government Housing Bank, reported by Thaiger. Foreign nationals took ownership of 3,292 condo units during the quarter, up 1.4% from a year earlier, with a combined value of THB 14.803 billion and total floor area up 8.1% to 145,140 square metres.
Despite the rebound, foreign buyers made up a smaller share of the overall condominium market than a year earlier: 10.2% of all units transferred nationwide and 20% of total transfer value in Q2.
The first-half picture remained weaker. From January to June, foreigners took ownership of 6,533 units, down 8.8% year on year, while combined value slipped 1.5% to THB 28.267 billion. Foreign buyers accounted for 11.7% of condo units and 21.7% of value transferred in the half. REIC linked the slowdown to weaker economic conditions in Thailand and abroad, which it said led some overseas buyers to delay property purchases and investment decisions.
Chinese nationals remained the largest group of foreign condo buyers by both units and value, despite a year-on-year decline, paying an average of THB 3.8 million for units averaging 38.2 square metres. By total transfer value, the top ten nationalities were Chinese, Russian, Myanmar, American, Taiwanese, French, British, German, Australian and Indian buyers. American buyers recorded the highest average value per unit at THB 6.6 million, while Indian buyers bought the largest units on average, at 72.1 square metres.
Across all foreign buyers in the first six months, the average condo transferred was worth THB 4.3 million and measured 43.9 square metres, or roughly THB 98,566 per square metre.
