October 2026 at a Glance
House Prices and Trends
City-level transaction prices for Phuket are not released as open data, so the national index for Thailand serves as the benchmark here. Read local listings against that backdrop.
The national house price index for Thailand rose 2.4% year on year in Q2 2026 and was +0.8% against the previous quarter, according to BIS, Residential property prices (nominal). A year earlier the annual rate was +2.8%, so growth has held broadly steady over twelve months. Recent quarters show the pace building rather than fading.

Reading the Trend
Prices in Phuket are essentially flat in nominal terms — which, after inflation, means slightly falling in real terms. Buyers have more time and more leverage than a year ago.
What to watch next month
- The next quarterly release of the house price index for Thailand (Q2 2026 is the latest) — whether annual growth keeps accelerating.
- Upcoming decisions by the Bank of Thailand — any move from 1.00% feeds through to mortgage pricing within weeks.
What This Means for Buyers, Sellers and Investors
Time is on your side — offers below asking are normal in a flat market, especially on stock listed for more than 90 days.
The first two weeks on the market matter most — price to the last comparable sale, not the highest asking price in the street.
Falling financing costs improve leveraged returns and widen the gap between yield and mortgage rate.
