Real estate market in Bali: forecasts and rating

In recent years, Bali has become a center for real estate investment. The market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years due to the growth of the economy, which is steadily developing, in part due to the booming tourism industry.

One of the key trends we can expect to see in the Bali real estate market is an increase in demand for luxury properties. Bali has always been known for its luxury resorts and villas, but in recent years there has been a sharp rise in demand for luxury residential properties. Investors are flocking to Bali to purchase luxury villas, beachfront properties and high-end townhouses.

The Indonesian real estate market is expected to grow from USD 61.22 billion in 2023 to USD 81.24 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 5.82% during the forecast period.

Real estate in Bali has one of the highest yields in the world. On average, 15% per year, without taking into account the increase in the cost of housing. For comparison, the average real estate yield in the world is 5%.

The cost of rent on the island increases by 15-20% per year on average. Average real estate occupancy during the year is 65-80%. Therefore, the purchased real estate can be repaid in 5-6 years.

Why should you buy real estate in Bali?

Bali is a great place to buy property for both a second home and an investment, as the island is not only full of charm but also has untapped potential.

According to experts, the amount of net profit from the sale of apartments purchased at the construction stage will be 44% in three years. When renting real estate, you can return the investment in 5-6 years.

Another benefit of investing in Bali, aside from the high income potential and high demand for vacation rentals, is that foreigners can invest without having Indonesian citizenship—it’s a lot easier than it seems.

Where to buy real estate in Bali?

One of the best places in Bali to invest in real estate is Canggu, a trendy and popular seaside area that is sometimes called ‘kampung bule’, which translates to ‘foreigners’ village’. The demand for apartments in Canggu is very high. Also, some areas of Canggu are still developing, this factor provides significant potential for novice investors.

What is the best type of property to buy in Bali?

Foreigners in Bali can buy land, apartments or villas. In general, the choice of the type of real estate depends on the investor’s goal.

However, apartments can be an ideal option, thanks to the relatively low level of investments, compared, for example, to the purchase of a villa, as well as wide functionality:

● a great real estate option for living;

● a good tool for receiving passive income – renting with the support of a management company that undertakes the search for clients, service and solving all organizational issues;

● a profitable option for resale – you can buy apartments during the construction stage and sell the property immediately after its completion (or even in the process) and receive almost 50% of the income from the sale.

How to find apartments for investment in Bali?

When buying apartments at the construction stage, it is important to choose a reliable developer:

● first of all, check all documents: land rights, building rights, tax documents. The consultation of a highly qualified lawyer will help to understand all the intricacies of Indonesian legislation.

● then check the list of works of the developer – it is better if the company already has completed projects.

“Leaf” as a property name, and as an idea stems from the quiet, semi-rural and leafy environment of the villas.

The concept behind the design is driven by a desire to reflect local landscape elements including mudstone (called dinding polpolan by the Balinese) used to construct village homes along with other interpretive elements such as the woven bamboo (known locally as bedeg/klakat) used for fencing and buildings
