Chonburi is considered the second most important province after Bangkok and its surrounding areas, as it serves as a center for administration, tourism, industry, and more. Therefore, the real estate market in Chonburi, especially in Pattaya, stands out compared to other provinces.

 Dr. Sopon Pornchokchai, President, Agency for Real Estate Affairs (www.area.co.th), stated that Chonburi province has the second highest number of residential projects after Bangkok and its surrounding areas, with a total of 1,842 projects currently for sale by the end of 2025.

Residential projects in Chonburi province, categorized by location.

 

Although Mueang District has the highest number of projects,

1. The highest number of sales units is located in Pattaya seaside (west of Sukhumvit Road), with 94,038 units. This is followed by Mueang Chonburi district with 61,201 units, and thirdly, Si Racha district with 37,966 units. Sattahip district has the fewest units at 10,019.

2. However, when counting the number of remaining units for sale, it appears that Mueang District has the highest number of unsold units at 11,376 units, followed by the Pattaya beachfront (west of Sukhumvit Road) with 8,550 units, and the Pattaya hillside (east of Sukhumvit Road) with 4,749 units. The area with the fewest unsold units is Sattahip, with only 636 units remaining.

3. Pattaya's beachfront side has the highest value of unsold units, totaling 49,261 million baht (USD 1,515.7 million). This is because the average selling price per unit is higher than elsewhere, at approximately 3.934 million baht (USD 120,985) per unit. The hillside area of ​​Pattaya also has a high value of unsold units, totaling 32,425 million baht (USD 997.7 million), with an average price as high as 3.813 million baht (USD 117,323) per unit.

4. The best-selling area is Laem Chabang, where 3.1% of all units sold per month are recorded. It will take approximately 32.3 months to sell all remaining units. The area with the lowest monthly sales is Bowin, where only 1.7% of all units sold per month are recorded. It will take 58.7 months to sell all remaining units.

 

Types of housing in Chonburi Province.

 

The primary product sold in Chonburi province is condominiums, totaling 150,841 units out of 304,294 units, or 50%. This is followed by townhouses (73,428 units) and detached houses (42,818 units), then   semi-detached houses and shophouses.   The majority of units sold are condominiums, totaling 135,902 units out of 264,773 units, or 51% of the total. Naturally, the largest group of unsold units are condominiums, totaling 14,939 units out of 39,521 units, or 38% of the total. This indicates that condominiums tend to sell faster than other products, with a monthly sales rate of 2.9% compared to townhouses (1.8%) and detached houses (1.9%). Therefore, condominiums can be sold out within 34.1 months, while the average time for all residential properties to sell out is 41.1 months.

The condominium market is also small, with only 180 units, the main segment being the higher-priced 7-10 million baht (98 units, 34 sold).

In sum, the housing market in Chonburi province has slowed down considerably. This may be partly due to large factories relocating to other countries, resulting in job losses, and Chinese factories not hiring as many Thai workers as before. However,   tourist areas like Pattaya continue to experience growth, and Pattaya's overall future looks better than other
