As buyers in Myanmar continue to flip properties, the country’s
prices will continue to head north in the next few years, noted
Presidential Adviser U Aung Tun Thet.
“We’ve seen that property
prices have reached twice the prices of neighbouring Thailand,” he said
at a recent property seminar, highlighting an increase in industrial
zone prices.
While there is no bubble in the Myanmar property
market, daily flipping – where buyers acquire and dispose of properties
on the same day, is expected to continue and could lead to higher
prices.
In the condo market, rental prices are predicted to rise
above levels seen in Bangkok due to the low supply of serviced
apartments and condo units in central Yangon. The property price surge
could be attributed to reforms introduced by the current government.
“Sanctions are easing on Myanmar and this is the major factor attracting investors to the property sector,” the adviser said.
