CM Condo Rentals through the Roof!

[tabarin 1,007]

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.

Thanks, ChipButty. I never thought to look on airbnb. I thought, in my ignorance, that it for short stay holiday makers.

Look at the facebook marketplace property rentals in Thai, very cheap.

Decent places from 2,500bht.

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.

in the coming months you should be paid to live in CM.

Hence the lower rates and loads of available properties too (aside of visa nonsense).

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.

Fair enough, Bkk6060, I stand corrected. Perhaps I should stop searching on agent 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

Got a 2BR house with garden, pool in village, brand new + furnitures complete for 8K monthly and 15 mins out of town. No noise, no dogs, nothing.
Rent is inexpensive in CM, always been, one of the reasons I once moved here too, low monthly overhead for the basic needs.

Skybreeze is definitely a hidden gem.  Great area too.  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.

A buddy of mine rented the unit 2 floors below this one (carbon copy) at Mountainview for 15,000 in 2013.  Now can be had for 13,000.

Prices definitely haven’t been going up when comparing apples to apples.

That's still crazy money for Chiang mai and for a studio with nice view of burning fields

There was no studio in my linked listings.  Nor were there views of burning rice fields.  I had a beautiful, sweeping, unobstructed Doi Suthep view over CMU.

Yep op is right. I had a look a month ago and DESIRABLE areas off the charts

Odd that you would be looking for  condo to live in CM , considering that you hate the place and are always stating how good Pattaya is and how bad CM is .

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

50 sqm is still very small for that price

Then I suppose prices have further to fall.
