🏢 Developers Are Motivated to Sell to Foreigners

  • Many developers reserve 49% of a project’s units for foreign buyers (due to condo law).
  • If they haven’t filled the foreign quota, they’ll often incentivize sales with:
    • Price drops
    • Free transfer fees
    • Zero down payment promotions

✍️ Tips for Negotiating as a Foreigner

  • âś… Ask during off-season (May–September)
  • âś… Bring a local agent or Thai-speaking rep
  • âś… Compare similar nearby projects
  • âś… Ask for multiple offers (discount vs. free furniture vs. waived fees)
  • âś… Request a “net price” deal — no hidden transfer taxes

⚠️ Important:

Even with discounts, do due diligence:

  • Check developer’s track record
  • Review contracts in Thai and English
  • Confirm exact handover specs and taxes
