tabarin 1,011 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) What are you talking about? Rents for condos in CM has been decreasing as it is less busy, as well for houses. There is loads of offers too. Maybe stop dealing with those agents that only tell you about high priced once, they get a month commission, that's why they pretend so. You can get a 30 sqm ish unit, even with pool, from as little as 4-5K a month already. Newer buildings from 6-7K a month. If you need me to help you sort out, send me a PM.

Decent places from 2,500bht. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/507181329858436/ https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/180431169206745/ I think those new units you posted a while back (you took a photo while walking around) were probably the best bargain I’ve seen in CM. I wonder how much it would cost me to get garage parking somewhere in CM. Even subletting a spot at someone’s condo would be cool. Don’t want a car in Bangkok but would love to be able to tour northern Thailand in something fun. Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post bkk6060 12,972 Posted October 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2019 OP sorry, you seem to be incorrect. Just checked a popular rental site and there are almost 500 properties for rent at 8k or less in CM. 100's more 8 to 12 k. I have seen newer 2 bedroom houses for around 10 k and less 20 minutes outside the city of CM. Nice places with yards. My experience is except lower Sukhumvit in BKK, rents are down in the bigger cities over the past 5 years. Especially in Pattaya 8 to 10 k very decent places. Just too many empty properties everywhere. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Got a few new ideas now I'm thinking around the 12K+ mark, so perhaps there's hope after all. It's the area that might pose a few challenges, but lets see what crops up Link to post Share on other sites

Rent is inexpensive in CM, always been, one of the reasons I once moved here too, low monthly overhead for the basic needs. Edited October 14, 2019 by tabarin 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I rented at Punna close by and negotiated my rent down from 15,000 to 14,000 for a 2 year contract back in 2012. Now...exact comparable unit (same floor plan, size, view, etc.) is now asking 13,500 for a 1 year lease. http://chiangmaiproperties.co.th/EN/condo/rent/Fully-furnished,-1-bedroom-condo-with-1-bathroom(s)-and-pool-in-Punna-Residence-4-@-CMU,-Suthep,-Mueang-Chiang-Mai/C2737.aspx A buddy of mine rented the unit 2 floors below this one (carbon copy) at Mountainview for 15,000 in 2013.

deej 287 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Presently their is a over supply of Rental Condo.s in Cmai. Due to very few renters available . to take up the slack . that has been rising steadily in the past few yrs for a multitude of reasons. O/P you are in the pole position. to name your own price that u feel .is a good deal between both partys. A Win .Win situation so to speak. From my own observations most Owners are asking at least 20% over a Win Win price Very best of luck Link to post Share on other sites
