Phuket Real Estate Market 2025: Prices, Trends, ROI & Top Locations

Real estate market

The Phuket real estate market in 2025 is experiencing one of the most dynamic growth periods in its history. Following the pandemic, the property sector on the island has recovered faster than other regions in Thailand, driven by demand from foreign investors, expats, and digital nomads.

According to reports from CBRE Thailand and Knight Frank Thailand, Phuket is strengthening its position as a leader in the premium property segment, with prices in key locations rising by an average of 8–10% year-on-year.

Market Trends 2025

  • Surging demand for luxury properties. The premium segment (sea-view villas, beachfront condominiums) is experiencing the highest price growth – up to 12–15% year-on-year. Buyers predominantly come from Europe, Singapore, and the Middle East.
  • Return of foreign investors. Following the complete reopening of borders, the number of transactions completed by foreign buyers has increased by over 40% compared to 2023.
  • Popularity of long-term rentals and digital nomads. Long-term rentals (3–12 months) now represent approximately 35% of the entire market.
  • Infrastructure development. The planned expansion of the international airport and expressways is increasing the attractiveness of the island's northern areas (Mai Khao, Nai Thon).
