Bangkok’s condominium market remains cautious despite a busier first half. Cushman & Wakefield reported only about 2,332 condo units launched in Bangkok during Q2, down 67% from Q1, while AP Thailand announced 27 new second-half projects worth THB32.32 billion across housing types.

Developers Are Picking Their Sites Carefully

Roughly 90% of Q2 condo launches were along the BTS Sukhumvit Line outside the CBD, with the remainder in outer Bangkok. Developers are prioritizing transit-linked locations and higher-income buyers because household debt and tighter mortgage approvals continue to constrain mass-market demand.

Launch Prices Rose Because The Mix Changed

The average Q2 launch price jumped to about THB150,420 per square metre, but that does not necessarily mean demand became stronger. Cushman’s reading is that developers launched more expensive, lower-risk projects rather than broadening supply for all buyer groups. First-half average launch pricing reached its highest first-half level since 2020.

AP’s Pipeline Tests The Recovery

AP Thailand’s 27-project H2 plan covers detached houses, townhomes, duplexes and condominiums in Bangkok and regional markets. That breadth matters because listed developers are currently responsible for nearly all new condo supply, while smaller firms remain cautious and many have postponed launches.

What To Watch Next

Thailand’s second-half market will depend on mortgage approvals and absorption outside the CBD. Transit-linked projects from large developers should perform best, while speculative condo launches away from rail lines remain hard to justify.
