Owning a piece of prime real estate anywhere in the world has always been proven to be a safe, long-term investment. Real estate in Bali is no different as investors seek alternative forms of investment to counter global economic uncertainties.
The real estate market in Bali is in the early stages of a property cycle boom. The popular tourist destinations in the south resorts such as Kuta, Seminyak and Sanur already have a well established property market. However, other undiscovered regions are now beginning to attract the attention of property investors.
Real estate in Bali can satisfy even the most discerning of homebuyers looking to invest in a property in paradise. The property offerings in Bali are extremely diverse. The island is home to upscale villas overlooking white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. You will also find that exclusive beachfront apartments in world-renowned resorts are aplenty.
Grand homes near Canggu’s famous surf spots, and off-grid eco-villages are found tucked away in forested areas of Ubud. Sophisticated resort homes complete with hotel-style facilities are all within easy reach of popular local attractions. Bali’s real estate market has it all and it is attracting a lot of attention from property investors.
Attractive value proposition in emerging locations
Savvy property investors are beginning to turn their attention to the emerging locations in Bali. Opportunities with an significant value proposition are being identified in undiscovered parts of the island. The more established property markets in popular resorts such as Kuta, Canggu, Seminyak and Ubud have become saturated. Entry prices for attractive property is soaring and now out of reach for many investors.
Besides unattainable property prices, the pace of life in the popular resorts is off-putting for frequent visitors to the island. There is a feeling that in some areas of Bali, it’s laid-back atmosphere is being lost. This is due to the exploding cost of living and the sheer volume of traffic and congestion.
There is a growing trend amongst frequent visitors and long-term residents of Bali. Many are looking to restore their island experience by branching further afield of the congestion and noise.
Early stages of a property boom cycle
Amed As An Emerging Location
Undiscovered, emerging locations are attracting the attention of investors as they seek the next opportunity in a property boom cycle.
Located 85km north east of Denpasar, the fishing village Amed is entering the very early stages of a property cycle. Tourists and investors are attracted by the more laidback lifestyle and world-class scuba diving on offer in Amed.
Amed has maintained it’s natural charm in keeping with the spirit of Bali and currently presents a unique investment opportunity. Property prices remain attractive as modern, high quality villas are selling for a fraction of comparative properties in the south.
For example, a newly built 3-bed villa, with swimming pool and large landscaped garden can be purchased in Amed for around US$200,000. The price for a similar villa in Canggu is likely to be sold in excess of US$600,000.
