Key Market Statistics (2025)

Buying Market Overview
Property sale prices continued to rise in 2025, with the average price per square meter increasing by 4.04% year-over-year. This indicates sustained demand for residential property, particularly in urban and coastal regions.
While the average sale price declined significantly compared to 2024, the continued rise in price per m² suggests a shift toward smaller or more efficiently priced properties, rather than a broad market downturn.
Rental Market Overview
At a national level, average rental prices per square meter showed a slight decline in 2025, decreasing from $12.67 to $12.54 (−1.03%).
Despite this marginal decrease, AnyHouse data indicates higher availability of long-term rental properties compared to previous years. This suggests that the rental market is moving toward greater balance, with more choice for tenants and less upward pressure on prices at a national level.
Due to limited historical rental data prior to 2024, no definitive conclusions can yet be drawn regarding long-term rental price trends or structural stabilization.
