Condos are selling from $1,500 – $3,000 psm in Cambodia

In Cambodia condominium transactions continue to increase, however the number is relatively low in comparison to before the hit of the pandemic. Condominiums are co-ownership housing that have huge potential in the real estate market. When the lifestyle of locals changes, the need for better housing tends to increase as well.

Phnom Penh is the city with the most condominium development, with around 30,000 units, or the equivalent of 100 buildings. By 2025, this figure is expected to rise to 80,000 units.

Buying property is a long term investment

Khorn Kungkea, Chairman and CEO of ERA Cambodia stated that condominium development is a long-term investment project, and a good housing option for both foreigners who are traveling or moving to the Kingdom for employment, as well as for locals who are shifting to become middle-income earners.
