Residential property in Cambodia averages $2,686 per square metre. In dollar terms the market has barely moved over the last twelve months (-2%). That makes it the 186th most expensive of the 264 markets in the set.

What a buyer pays in Cambodia

The $2,686 figure is a national average across all residential property types, which flattens a wide spread — the capital typically runs far above it and small towns far below. Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 8.5% of the price here. On a 100 m² apartment at the average price that is roughly $22,831 on top of the $268,600 purchase price. That is close to the 9.5% median across the set. Inside Cambodia we also track Phnom Penh separately, where the average is $2,907 — 8.2% above the national figure.

What it earns

A square metre lets for about $7.4 a month. Against a purchase price of $2,686 per square metre that is 3.3% gross, before tax. Both figures come from the same source and the same period, so you can check the arithmetic yourself. It ranks 275th of 311 markets by gross yield. Rental income is taxed at 10–14% — the rate is not a single number here. That is the difference between 2.8% and 3% net on the same property. The 2.8% net figure we publish uses 14%.

How the tax works. 14% withholding on the gross rent paid to a non-resident, with no deductions and final (Law on Taxation 2023 art. 33). Resident individual landlords pay 10% instead under the Tax on House and Land Rent, which is the lower end of the band. With a private tenant there is no withholding agent, so the owner self-declares. Source: PwC / Andersen KH.

Who can buy in Cambodia

Strata-title freehold; land not permitted. That is the rule a foreign buyer meets first, not legal advice — check the current position locally before you commit.
