While the market presents unique challenges, it also offers significant opportunities for those who understand its complexities. Cambodia’s real estate market in 2025 is likely to be slightly better than in 2024, but challenges remain. It’s still a buyer’s market, meaning buyers have strong negotiating power and can find good deals. This presents an excellent opportunity for long-term investors and those with cash on hand or strong cash flow from established businesses.

However, don’t expect quick profits like in the pre-COVID era. Buyers need to have solid finances and be prepared to hold their investments for the long term (5+ years) to see returns. This reflects a more sustainable and stable market based on genuine economic growth, rather than speculation-driven price hikes. While some areas might experience short-term growth spurts, these often come with higher risks.

Economic forecasts, including those for the real estate market, are based on current data and trends. These are subject to change due to unforeseen events like the COVID-19 pandemic, global economic issues, conflicts, and market sentiment. It’s crucial to conduct thorough research and stay informed before making any investment decisions. Avoid blindly following trends or making impulsive choices driven by greed or lack of knowledge.
