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.

Our first property this month is in the City Garden development in Central Pattaya. 

City Garden is a very popular development and the units are an excellent investment as they are easy to rent. The building is popular with both short and long term residents of Pattaya.

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.

Why Pratumnak Hill Remains a Top Choice for Luxury Buyers

Aug 14, 2025

When it comes to luxury living in Pattaya, few neighborhoods match the prestige, beauty, and exclusivity of Pratumnak Hill. This elevated enclave offers the perfect balance between city convenience and tranquil coastal living — a combination that continues to attract high-end buyers from around the world. Prime Location with Breathtaking ViewsPerched between Pattaya and Jomtien, Pratumnak Hill enjoys one of the most enviable positions on the Eastern Seaboard. Many condos in Pratumnak boast panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand, stunning sunsets, and the sparkling city skyline. The hill’s elevation not only provides a cooler breeze but also creates a sense of privacy and separation from the busier districts below.Exclusive Property OptionsPratumnak is home to some of the city’s most sought-after residences — from ultra-modern villas with infinity pools to high-rise condominiums with 5-star facilities. Land plots are rare and highly valued, making existing luxury homes especially desirable. Whether buyers are looking for a lavish holiday retreat or a permanent residence, Pratumnak offers properties that meet the highest standards of design and comfort.A Peaceful Yet Connected LifestyleOne of Pratumnak Hill’s greatest strengths is its balance of tranquility and accessibility. Residents can enjoy peaceful, low-traffic streets and lush greenery, yet still be just minutes away from Pattaya’s vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The beaches here are quieter than those in central Pattaya, offering a more relaxed seaside experience.Proximity to Top AmenitiesLuxury buyers appreciate convenience, and Pratumnak delivers. The area is close to international restaurants, boutique cafes, golf courses, marinas, and high-end shopping malls. Quality healthcare is also nearby, with leading hospitals just a short drive away. For families, international schools in Pattaya and surrounding areas are within easy reach.Strong Investment PotentialWhile lifestyle is a major draw, Pratumnak Hill also offers compelling investment opportunities. Limited land availability and high demand from both Thai and foreign buyers help support long-term value appreciation. Rental demand, particularly for short-term stays in high-end villas and condos, remains strong due to the area’s reputation and prime location.The Allure ContinuesIn a market that is always evolving, Pratumnak Hill continues to hold its place as Pattaya’s most prestigious address. Its combination of scenic beauty, exclusive properties, convenient location, and investment stability ensures it remains a top choice for discerning buyers who want the very best the city has to offer.

Contact Coastal Real Estate, your trusted and reputable real estate agents in Pattaya, to find your perfect property today.Advantages of RentingFlexibility: When you rent property in Pattaya, you have complete flexibility and can move around easily without being tied down to a specific location or property.Lower upfront costs: A security deposit and the first month's rent are typically sufficient, making it more affordable in the short term.Zero responsibility for maintenance: Landlords will handle property maintenance, taking the burden of time and money off your shoulders.ChallengesThe cost to rent property in Pattaya has been risingYou will be limited in your scope to personalize your living spaceAdvantages of BuyingInvestment opportunities: Buying property in Pattaya is a safe bet, as the real estate market shows consistent growth and provides excellent potential returnsCustomization: When you buy a property in Pattaya, it’s yours to renovate and personalize as you see fitLong-term stability: Buying property in Pattaya can be more economical if you plan to stay for an extended period and provides a sense of permanenceChallengesThe cost of buying property in Pattaya: It requires a significant upfront investment for foreigners to buy property in PattayaForeigners face property ownership restrictions in ThailandUltimately, renting property in Pattaya is ideal for those who prefer flexibility or only have short-term stays planned, whereas buying suits individuals who desire long-term stability or lucrative investment opportunities.Understanding the Costs: Renting vs. Buying Property in PattayaThe cost of buying property in Pattaya vs renting is a vital consideration. Each option has distinct benefits and financial implications, as follows:Renting costsMinimal: A security deposit of 2 months' rent and the first month's rent upfrontOngoing rent: MonthlyNo maintenance costsBuying costsPurchase price of the propertyClosing costsLegal feesProperty taxesFluctuating property prices that seem set to continue rising in a thriving real estate marketMaintenance: Owners are responsible for upkeepLifestyle Flexibility: Which Option Suits Your Stay in PattayaFor those intending to make Pattaya their permanent home or those planning an investment, it may make sense to buy rather than rent. However, with competitive rental prices, many choose to rent. The lifestyle flexibility of renting property in Pattaya is a major advantage for some, because they can move to another property easily and simply at the end of their lease. People with families and other long-term commitments often like to make the property their forever home, with various upgrades and renovations that fulfil their vision of the perfect place to live, which is not generally possible to do in a rental property. Ultimately, it’s all about the desired lifestyle, long-term goals, and their current situation as to whether renting or buying is the best option.The Bottom LineRenting property in Pattaya offers ultimate flexibility and lower upfront costs. It is ideal for those who prefer short-term stays or have uncertain plans.Buying property in Pattaya offers long-term stability and high-yield investment potential, but it requires a substantial financial commitment, careful planning, and professional assistance.Market Trends and Legal Considerations for Foreign Buyers in PattayaMarket TrendsPattaya remains a desirable hot spot for property investment in Thailand. Foreign investors are particularly drawn to buying property in Pattaya due to its consistent growth, vibrant social scene, stable rental market, and dependable profitability. Navigating these trends and legalities requires careful planning and professional advice from experts like those at Coastal Real Estate. Some key trends in the property market for expats when considering property for sale in Pattaya include:Rising property pricesAs the demand for quality Pattaya real estate for sale continues to grow, the price per square meter for condos is keeping pace.High potential rental yieldsMany areas already offer impressive returns for rental properties, and more are being developed and improved constantly.Government regulations and policiesTaxes and local regulations shape the market to incentivize foreign investment.Legal ConsiderationsSpecific restrictions and opportunities apply to foreign investors when buying property in Pattaya, as follows:Condominium ownershipForeigners are restricted to owning a maximum of 49% of the total area in any condominium building, ensuring that the majority of ownership remains with Thai nationals. This creates a highly competitive foreigner quota market, often driving up unit prices. Individuals unable to secure a condo within the quota can negotiate leasehold agreements or form a majority Thai ownership company.Contact Coastal Real Estate TodayIf you’re ready to learn more about Pattaya real estate rental or purchases and find exclusive luxury property for sale in Pattaya, look no further than Coastal Real Estate.We offer an exceptional collection of properties for sale in Pattaya, along with the knowledge, expertise, and experience you need.
