Clouds Figure Out On the Skyline
Thailand's real estate sector in 2009 will come across two big effects - the worldwide economic tsunami and long-drawn-out local political troubles - regardless of encouraging signs from easing price rises, declining prices of steel and oil, and a probable expansion of the government's tax inducements.
Dark is the night as the local industry fights back to deal with a double blow that has set aside probable purchasers and investors on the sidelines.
For the local market, 2008 has been an unstable year. The market in the initial two months of the year persistent to be slow, a development triggered late 2007 by the increasing prices of oil and steel and political improbability.
The response of home purchasers improved in March after the government announced tax incentives that took effect from March 29 2008 to March 28, 2009. Sales of nearly all property developers, particularly those developing low-rise units or units set to be transferred within the period, raised in the second quarter of 2008.
But the sales detonation lasted just some months and was condensed to a drop when the People's Alliance for Democracy seized Government House in late May. Many home purchasers delayed their decisions, as they were worried about the consequences of political conflict on the economy at the same time as some probable customers were simply in no mood to purchase.
Thongma Vijitpongpun, chief executive of the listed developer Preuksa Real Estate Plc (PS), said that subsequent to rejection rates and cancellations go up, the company required to track each consumer’s payment ability and tried to fix the troubles as early as possible to re-sell the units as soon as possible.
He said the economic recession had a pessimistic impact on home purchaser’s confidence although real command still existed. Unlike purchasers in the middle-priced section and those shopping for second homes, not very lots of first-time home purchasers delayed their decisions.
He also predicts a drop in the property market development rate by 5-10% compared to 2007. “The government should encourage demand with mega projects and expand the tax incentives,” he suggested.
