Thailand saw a sharp rise in resale housing listings in Q1 2026

Event date

The increase was concentrated in condos and higher-priced stock

Thailand's Real Estate Information Center released its Q1 review on June 16. The dataset covered resale homes advertised online, including properties listed by financial institutions, asset-management companies and the Legal Execution Department through the national resale-property marketplace.

Compared with Q1 2025, the number of homes offered for sale was up 34.2% and their combined advertised value was up 99.4%. Quarter on quarter, listing volume increased 7.3%, while total asking value edged down 0.3%.

Detached houses remained the largest category, representing 40.9% of listed resale stock. REIC put the average asking price at THB 4.9 million. Condominiums posted the strongest annual increase: listing numbers were up 124.6% and aggregate asking value was up 343.8%. Supply above THB 10 million also expanded sharply, with unit count rising 143.7% and advertised value increasing 164.1%.

**Transaction data tell a more measured demand story**

The listing figures are useful for judging how much stock sellers are bringing to market, but they should not be taken as completed-sale prices. A higher share of expensive homes can lift the total advertised value even if comparable properties have not appreciated at anything close to the same rate.

REIC's transfer data moved much less dramatically. Resale housing transfers increased 13.8% by number and 7.7% by value from a year earlier. Detached houses accounted for 41.6% of transfers, while most price bands recorded growth except the THB 7.51 million-and-above range.

For buyers and sellers, the distinction is relevant. A national rise in listings can mean more choice and more competition between sellers, but it does not tell you what a comparable unit in a specific Bangkok, Phuket or Pattaya neighbourhood will trade for. Local asking prices, recent transfers and the condition of individual properties still need to be compared separately.

Q2 data put the Q1 surge in perspective

REIC published a newer national resale-market update in September. Its Q2 report said cumulative listed supply was 6.1% higher year on year and total advertised value was 24.9% higher.

Those percentages are not a clean like-for-like continuation of the Q1 snapshot because the later release uses cumulative measures. They nevertheless provide useful context: the exceptionally strong Q1 growth rates should not be assumed to represent the market's pace for the whole of 2026. Anyone using the June figures for a current decision should start with the newer quarter and then narrow the comparison to the relevant property type, price bracket and location.
