The Real Estate Information Center (REIC) of the Government Housing Bank (GHB) has prepared an analysis titled "Housing Price Index in the EEC Area, Q1 2026", which has a value of 126.4 points, an increase of 1.3% compared to the same period last year (YoY), where the index was 124.8 points. However, it has slightly decreased by 0.1% compared to the previous quarter (QoQ). This reflects that housing prices in the EEC area continue to rise, although the rate of increase has slowed compared to previous periods. This is due to the housing market having a high level of unsold units, prompting developers to adjust their marketing strategies to accelerate stock clearance by aligning prices with the purchasing power that remains sluggish amid a slowing economy.

When categorizing the housing price index by area, it is found that:

  • Chonburi has an index value of 130.3 points, an increase of 1.9% compared to the same period last year (YoY), where the index was 127.9 points.
  • Rayong has an index value of 122.5 points, an increase of 0.6% compared to the same period last year (YoY), where the index was 121.8 points.
  • Chachoengsao has an index value of 122.2 points, an increase of 1.3% compared to the same period last year (YoY), where the index was 120.6 points (details in Table 1 and Charts 1 to 3).
