In 2024, demand for overseas real estate remained robust, sustaining the high levels seen in 2023 while evolving in both geographic distribution and transaction structure.
Official data released by the Government Housing Bank (GHB) in June 2023 indicates a significant increase in the purchase of apartments in Thailand by foreigners in Q1 2023. Compared to Q1 2022, there has been a 79.2% rise in the number of units bought, with a total of 3,775 apartments purchased.
As of the beginning of 2023, the activity of Russian-speaking property buyers in various foreign countries has more than doubled compared to activity levels at the beginning of 2022.
The authorities of Turkey and Georgia reported a record number of real estate deals concluded by Russians in these countries during the 12 and 9 months of 2022, respectively. The high activity of buyers from Russia was noted by official sources from Thailand and Spain based on the data on registration of ownership rights in 2022.
