Property in Indonesia Rise After Pandemic, These 5 Countries Are the Biggest Investors

Share:

In recent years, property sales and rental prices in Bali have increased dramatically. Even in the last year, the price surge has been fantastic. 

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the property market in Bali has shown remarkable resilience. 

The Rise of Property Market in Bali

However, as the year 2022 rolled in and COVID-19 restrictions began to ease, property rental prices in Bali swiftly rebounded. This resurgence was particularly evident when the level of tourist visits to Bali surged.

“From there, it means that housing needs are increasing again. Start a lot of guests, money coming in. Automatically, they open their business again. From the business side alone, we see that shophouses and warehouses have started to increase in demand by approximately 30 percent,” Garry Sugiarto Dharma from Brighton Real Estate said in a talk show held by BTN in collaboration with Media Tale entitled “Harga Properti di Bali Selangit, Emang Boleh Semahal Itu?”, in Sanur, South Denpasar, April 26, 2024.

While the prices of renting and selling property in Bali are indeed on the rise, the market remains highly competitive. The interest is not limited to Indonesians alone, as Garry Sugiarto Dharma notes, that foreign investors, including Indonesian from outside Bali, are also actively seeking property in Bali.

This is because investment opportunities are increasingly wide open with the stabilization of tourist visits.

Although property prices in Bali have skyrocketed, many residents still buy them. Interestingly, buyers of property at these high prices are even dominated by millennials. 

PMA Prospect in Indonesia

As Kompas reported, based on data from the National Single Window for Investment (NSWI) of the Ministry of Investment / Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), foreign investment (PMA) and domestic investment (PMDN) dominate investment in the housing, industrial estate, and office sectors.

Specifically, the sector recorded PMA realization of USD 2,574,534,600, or around IDR 38,103,112,080,000 (at an exchange rate of IDR 14,800) through 6,336 projects. This achievement ranks the housing, industrial estate, and office sectors seventh in terms of the highest PMA realization in 2023.

Five countries are the main players in investment in the housing, industrial estate, and office sectors in Indonesia, with a total PMA realization of IDR 38.10 trillion.

In 2023, the property sector in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta and Bali, reached a total investment of IDR 115.2 trillion through 15,366 projects. Housing, industrial estates, and offices were included in the sector. This achievement ranked the property sector fourth in terms of the highest investment realization that year.
