Local demand played a big role in buoying the affordable and mid-range sector from economic pressures caused by the global pandemic. The 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartment selection Phnom Penh, in particular, experienced minimal changes for most of 2020. Though it has to be noted that the events of the November 28 incident are yet to be fully seen.
Large apartments like 3-bedroom selections have had their prices fluctuate as they mainly housed expatriates. The onset of COVID-19 resulted in this market shrinking as international travel restrictions went into effect. The expatriate market will likely continue to play a smaller role relative to its pre-COVID-19 state.
According to Market Trends, Sen Sok offers the lowest median rental price for condominiums at $600. Given that this is the median price, interested renters have a good chance of finding cheaper accommodations within the fast-developing district.
Cambodia’s first local transmission reignited scares of new economic pressures. Fortunately, health authorities have been quick to control the local outbreak and consequently stemming renewed fears from immediately affecting market confidence.
The government recently announced a stamp duty tax exemption deadline extension for property worth less than US$70,000. The new deadline has been set to December 2021 and was made to encourage developers to offer more attractive prices to property buyers.
Overall, Cambodia’s real estate sector is still suffering a slump due to the limited number of foreign investments. The recent COVID-19 cases have shown that the country is still vulnerable to outbreaks. And without a working vaccine in commercial circulation, it may take additional time for the property market to recover to pre-pandemic levels.
