さて、つい昨日もThe Nationでこんな記事が出たところです。
Focus on foreign roadshows to offset sluggish domestic sales
(国内需要が回復しない中、大手デベロッパー各社は外国人投資家をターゲットに販売展開)
LEADING property developers have turned their attention to overseas roadshows as a means of generating sales at their residential projects, during a period of low overall purchasing power and only slight growth in domestic demand.
(大手デベロッパーは、購買力が弱くて今後ほとんど成長が期待できない国内需要よりも、外国人投資家をターゲットにする)
サンシリを始め、大手デベロッパー各社が海外で販売展開中ということは、既に何回か書いてきたので新しい話ではなのですが、今回のBREXITショックにも負けず外国人投資家やタイ人富裕層がこれまで通りバンコクを買い続けるのかどうかは、まだ誰にも分かりません。
英語ではこういう時、“Cash is King”というのですが、こんな時こそ現金を持っている人の強味が出ます。
しかし、日本人投資家にとっては、BREXITでバンコクのコンドミニアム市場低迷が更に続くとすれば、失望売りの購入予約権のリセールを安値で買えるチャンスもあるし、一方で、これからしばらくは避難通貨として円が買われる円高トレンドが続くとすると、支払いが先延ばしできて、ここぞと思うタイミングで全額送金してしまえるプレビルド投資が、絶好の買いチャンス到来にも思えるのですが。
ถ้าคุณรู้สึกสนุกช่วยกดนี้นะครับ
Focus on foreign roadshows to offset sluggish domestic sales
LEADING property developers have turned their attention to overseas roadshows as a means of generating sales at their residential projects, during a period of low overall purchasing power and only slight growth in domestic demand.
Despite the baht having appreciated 2.41 per cent from 36.07 per US dollar at the end of last year to around 35.20 currently, residential prices in Thailand still present an attractive proposition for foreign buyers, especially business investors from Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Taiwan and Europe, many of whom wish to expand their investment in Asean by using Thailand as the base for their head office in the region.
Some foreign buyers also see residential property in Thailand as a good investment for the long term, with prices in the Kingdom - especially in Bangkok - still lower than those in their own country.
Aliwassa Pathnadabutr, managing director of CB Richard Ellis (Thailand), said domestic residential demand had continued to expand only slightly in line with prevailing economic conditions in the first half of the year, as a result of which most developers were attempting to tap into new demand from foreign buyers interested in expanding their investment in Thailand and other Asean countries.
