When we say “perfect condo”, we do not mean a property that will cost you a fortune.

 
When we say “perfect condo”, we do not mean a property that will cost you a fortune. We are not referring to one that will have luxury appliances and a large number or utilities that you do not even need. In our view, that certain phrase refers to finding a property which perfectly fits your individual needs and which will not go over your budget. These are the two main aspects that should be considered as starting points in not only the purchase of a new apartment but in any type of investment. Keep in mind that Bangkok’s market for properties is highly unstable, just like it any world capital! Good apartments come and go, but even if you do not have such a large budget, you may be lucky enough to find a hidden gem. All you need is to arm yourself with patience, get informed and try to find a specialist (real estate agent) that knows each Condo for sale Bangkok like the back of his or her hand.

In addition to that, we have two useful tips for that are designed to make your search easier:

DO NOT LIMIT YOUR LOCATION!
If you are familiar with the areas of Bangkok and have a clear idea about where you wish to live, we can totally understand why you would focus on a certain neighborhood. However, if you wish to live in the busy town areas, such as Silom or Pratuanam, just because you have heard from unspecialized sources that this is the place to be if you want be part of Bangkok’s high life, we advice you to reconsider. The main reason we say this is the fact that if you choose to live there, you will be paying more money for the area than the actual facilities that certain condo has to offer. Basically you will be getting less for your money. Keep in mind that there are other affordable options out there, which are, of course, not located in the heart of the city, but may have a wide range of benefits which can prove more useful. Think about it! Do you really need to be in centre or do you need a place that has its own swimming pool or gym? Besides, Bangkok has a perfectly reliable BTS Sky Train system and a MRT underground, with the help of which you will be able to get to any part of the capital faster than you can imagine.

KNOW THE MARKET BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT!
Many foreigners come to Bangkok with false ideas in their heads about how the real estate market works and have pretty idealistic views on condo pricing. It is true that properties in Bangkok are significantly cheaper than those which are located in other capitals of the world but do not get your hopes up to high. It is still the capital of a very important Asian country and if you wish to purchase a condo in its core, you will pay a price similar to that of an apartment located in any other big city centre. In our opinion, you should start the whole process by trying to find how much apartments cost in different areas of Bangkok. This way you will, at least, get an idea on how much you would have to add to an already existing budget, or how much you have to put aside if you have barely started saving money for a new property.
