Indonesia real estate market — prices, rental yield and trend
- Average price: $2,144 / m²
- Gross rental yield: 8.3%
- 12-month price change (USD): -8.7%
- Transaction cost: 11.8%
- Price basis: capital average
Residential property in Indonesia averages $2,144 per square metre — -8.7% in dollar terms over twelve months, so a dollar buyer pays less than a year ago. That makes it the 56th most expensive of the 70 markets in the set. In local currency the same twelve months read +0.6%; the 9.3-point gap is the exchange rate, not the housing market.
What a buyer pays in Indonesia
The $2,144 figure is an average for the capital: it describes the capital's market, not the country as a whole — most of the country trades well below it. Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 11.8% of the price here. On a 100 m² apartment at the average price that is roughly $25,299 on top of the $214,400 purchase price. That is above the 9.5% median across the set — the entry cost is part of the investment case here. Inside Indonesia we also track Bali separately, where the average is $2,341 — 9.2% above the national figure.
What it earns
Long-term letting returns about 8.3% gross on the purchase price, 4th of 69 markets by gross yield. Measured against local earnings, the price-to-income ratio is 25.5 — that is how many years of an average local income one average home costs, and it says more about who can buy here than any price figure does.
