The Real Estate Information Center (REIC) of the Government Housing Bank (GHB) reports that the “Housing Purchase Confidence Index in Bangkok and Surrounding Areas for Q4 2567” shows that the public's confidence in purchasing housing has increased compared to the previous quarter, with a confidence index value of 42.9, an increase of 2.4 points from the previous quarter, which had an index value of 40.5 (QoQ). Additionally, the proportion of those planning to purchase housing within the next six months has risen to 28.2% from 24.7% in the previous quarter. This increase is partly due to the reduction in interest rates and financial institutions offering low-interest housing loan products, which can stimulate purchasing power in Q4 2567. Most data indicates that people are buying housing primarily for personal use (32.1%) rather than for investment (15.8%). The majority of buyers are private company employees (55.1%) with an average monthly income of 15,001 – 30,000 Baht (34.4%), and they prefer to purchase housing priced between 2.01–3.00 million Baht (25.3%). The most sought-after type of housing remains single-detached houses (40.6%) in the price range of 3.01–5.00 million Baht, with the highest demand for housing located in Bangkok (56.1%), particularly in the economic zones of the surrounding provinces, including Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Samut Prakan, Nakhon Pathom, and Samut Sakhon, respectively.
