If you are looking for a place to buy or a place to rent, it is wise to fine a real estate company that is big because they have the most property to show. That real estate company is called ‘Fair Properties.’ It will also help you to use a real estate company that has experience. ‘Fair Properties’ has over 10 years of experience. They work extra hard for you. The real estate market in Pattaya is in ‘boom times.’ Property is being bought, sold, rented, becoming vacant and under construction all at the same time. It’s amazing. Just look around at all the new construction. Some people are looking for places to retire to and others are speculating in the real estate market by buying, upgrading and renting it out and then selling it later. Look at the classified real estate section in this paper.
So, with all this action going on in Pattaya, Naklua and Jomtien, if you don’t find what you are looking for the first time you stop in ‘Fair properties’ office, they will take your name and phone number and call you back. There is property exchanging hands everyday and at a fast pace. It’s amazing. There is a real estate boom going on in this little fishing village.
Sometimes, I and my friends, who have lived here a few years, wonder where are all the people going to come from to fill these new places? Pattaya used to be the place that attracted people because of the nightlife on Walking Street, Soi Pattayaland and Sois like that. But after asking the real estate people and the other expats, they have all told me that the latest group are ‘retirees.’ They are coming from all the countries in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and even from other parts of Asia. The local expats clubs are growing too. Now there is a new French expats club and a new German expats club. The Scandinavian expats club and the two international expats clubs have been here for a couple of years.
The real estate boom is picking up speed. The city has begun building the infrastructure with new streets and sidewalks, burying cables, water pipes, sewage treatment, safety regulations, security plans and training, etc etc etc. The list of changes and improvements that are going on in this little village goes on and on and on.
So, if you want to rent or buy a place, stop by the ‘Fair Properties’ office in front of View Talay Condo in Jomtien. There is plenty of parking. They have stacks of books with pictures and descriptions of real estate. It’s getting chaotic because of all the turn over in the real estate market. Boom times are here.
If you are thinking of buying in Thailand, buy a condo because you can own it with fewer problems and at less cost. Also, I have been told by more than one person that there are three important things to consider when buying a condo. The first and most important is location because no matter what happens it will retain its value and could even increase in value as time goes by. The second important thing to consider when buying a condo is location because it will be easy to sell quickly if and when that time comes. The third thing to consider when buying a condo is location because it will make you happy and you will never become disappointed. Other things to consider when buying a condo are the quality of the construction, especially when buying a newly constructed building. One other thing to consider when buying a condo is the management company. It can be a big problem if you pay your condo fees and the management simply puts in their pockets and nothing gets fixed or cleaned or problems worked out in a timely manner.
There are several new condos under construction on North Beach Road, which seems to be the quieter and nicer neighborhoods in Pattaya. The North Shore Pattaya Condos are selling fast. One of the best buys is called ‘The Bay House Condominiums on Soi 1, which is across the street from the Markland hotel. They have been open for sale for about a week or two and have sold about half of the condos. It is a 7-story boutique condo and is very stylish. The Bay House has it all: the location, quaility construction and a great management company that is looking out for you. It is the place to be. It is the best buy of them all. The condos are located discretely close to North Beach Road without being in the traffic. They are within walking distance to the Central Festival Shopping Center and Big C, the International Hospital, the big, wide and clean beach, restaurants and major four star hotels. Second road is close, which makes for easy access to other parts of Pattaya. Now is the time to buy. Boom times are here. WOW! Live long and prosper.
