Real estate in Chiang Mai and property guide
Ranked as one of the most liveable cities in Asia, Chiang Mai has become one of Thailand’s growing property markets, attracting increasing numbers of both national and international buyers and investors. Real estate in Chiang Mai offers excellent value in both condos and houses, certainly compared to Bangkok or Phuket.
While the market lacks the sophisticated property networks that have boomed in areas such as Phuket, Samui and Pattaya, the Chiang Mai real estate industry has seen significant growth that runs parallel to the city’s progressive economic development. The emergent Chiang Mai real estate industry is supported by professional and semi-professional estate agents who will provide varying levels of service and professionalism in the process of buying property in Chiang Mai.
Due to a lack of visible industry standards, newcomers to the market are well advised to take time looking for a good agent before shopping for a real estate. Whether you plan to buy, build or rent property in Chiang Mai some advice in advance is suggested since foreigners often don’t have correct recourse to the law in the event of a dispute.
In this section we cover the main points, as written by our resident real estate expert. You can rent a lovely suburban house for less than US$400 per month, buy a cheap condo for 3000 baht or a million dollar villa when searching for real estate in Chiang Mai.
