Local Intelligence

Phuket Market Insights

Investment Climate

Phuket is classified as a declining real estate market. It scores 42/100 on the Realty51 composite investment index, factoring in price stability, rental demand, infrastructure and expat appeal.

Rental Market

Investors can expect a gross rental yield of approximately 46.6% on a well-located residential property. Short-term rental demand driven by tourism, digital nomads and expat relocations remains a strong driver of occupancy in prime Phuket districts.

Foreign Ownership

Foreigners may own condominium units outright within Thailand's 49% foreign quota. In Phuket, alternative structures include long-term leasehold (30+30+30 years), Thai company ownership (BOI-eligible structures), and REIT-based exposure. Due diligence through a licensed Thai lawyer is strongly recommended.

Price Outlook

Phuket benefits from sustained expat inflows, infrastructure investment and Thailand's strong tourism recovery. Premium districts continue to outperform the national average. AI-scored property listings on Realty51 average 76/100 on listing quality ensuring accurate pricing data.
