Propose selling prices for property increase in this area
Condominium unit is sparse
From surveying the region, it was found that the area is a yellow zone for residential use according to the city plan. Area is mostly occupied by low-rise residential projects such as single-detached houses and townhouses. There are still some units for sales in the existing condominiums that have been launched for a while, nevertheless, no new projects in sight. This was due to this area being and still badly affected by the ongoing COVID situation. Projects have received less visits by potential customers, reflecting the sparse number of transactions during this period. There are approximately 1,376 new condominium units in the area. Approximately 1,251 units have already been sold and are expected to be sold out within the next year.
From the survey of the selling price of condominiums located on the sub road, the average selling price is about 60,000 baht / sq.m. which is a slight increase.
Selling price of condominiums located on the main road, within close vicinity of the station, average at about 70,000 baht / sq.m. There has been some upwards adjustment. It remains to be seen whether the trend of buying housing after COVID will shift the selling prices in the future.
Land price announced for sale in advance
Most of the land up for sale around the station are large plots. It remains to be seen whether the big real estate developers will acquire land after the COVID situation easen, as the land prices have fallen at the moment.
The price of land adjacent to the sub road within 1-kilometer radius of the station was estimated at 50,000 – 60,000 baht per sq. wah, three years ago. At present, the offering price is at 70,000 – 100,000 baht per sq. wah.
The current land price adjacent to the main Ramintra Road is on the rise with a proposed selling price at approximately 180,000 – 300,000 baht per sq. wah. It is fair to say that the price is relatively high compared to the condominium.
From the analysis of the land development cost for residential projects, the selling price per unit for condominiums located in the alley or sub road should not exceed 65,000 baht per sq. meter. Meanwhile, the cost of land must not exceed 70,000 baht per sq. wah. On the other hand, condominiums located on the main road near the station should have a selling price of no more than 79,000 baht. The cost of land to be developed should not exceed 125,000 baht per sq. wah.
Without a doubt, the price of land adjacent to the station will soar when the train is up and running so let’s keep an eye on the trend.
