IPS Cambodia Report Description 25th June 2025 (online) IPS Cambodia  presents this up-to-date examination of the condominium market in Phnom Penh, offering investors a comprehensive view of current supply, demand, pricing and potential returns in the city’s condo sector. Summary The total condominium supply in Phnom Penh surged from roughly 20,000 units in 2019 to approximately 60,000 units by the end of 2024, reflecting nearly 20% annual growth. Since the 2019 peak, condo prices have corrected downward by about 15 to 20%, making entry-level units more affordable at USD $1,500 to $2,200 per sqm. Average rental vacancy rates have fallen to around 15% per project by 2025, indicating the market is absorbing prior oversupply. Net rental yields remain attractive, typically between 6.5 and 8% per annum, with some prime condos delivering yields of 8.5%+. Demand is especially strong for 2- to 4-bedroom units , which remain popular among tenants and resale buyers, particularly in centrally located and high-quality buildings. Smaller units (studios, 1-bedroom) face higher competition for tenants and buyers due to broad availability and limited differentiation. New project launches have slowed in 2025, as developers pivot towards mid- and low-range offerings, targeting both foreign and local Cambodian buyers to match changing demand patterns.

IPS Cambodia Report Description 25th June 2025 (online) The article provides an in-depth overview of Siem Reap’s evolving condominium landscape and highlights the unique market forces shaping the city’s investment climate, drawing on research undertaken by IPS Cambodia  to help investors understand the emerging opportunities. Summary Siem Reap’s UNESCO-mandated 6-storey height restriction  creates an unusually limited supply of units, strengthening high-demand investment conditions. Only three strata-titled projects  exist in the city as of 2025, creating exceptionally low supply in contrast to Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville. Off-plan launches at Rose Apple Square and Angkor Grace achieved very high sales during Covid, with near sell-outs in 3 years. Investors have already recorded 20%+ capital gains , supported by local and international demand across a diverse buyer pool. Average rental yields of 7 to 8% net per annum remain achievable due to strong tourism flows and short-stay accommodation demand. Condominium prices range between USD $1,900 and USD $2,800 per sqm, with some vacation-rental programmes priced higher due to enhanced returns. Siem Reap maintains a balanced international investor mix , avoiding over-concentration from any single country and benefiting from lifestyle appeal, expatriate relocations and villa investment options.
