HBA re-elected Sunthorn Sathaporn as president for 2026-2028 and says the housing market is showing a slow, selective recovery in Q4 2026, driven by government stimulus. REIC data for H1 2026: 167,665 units transferred (+17.6%) worth 429,839 million baht (+9.8%); resale homes are 63% of transfers and foreign condo transfers fell 8.8%. REIC forecasts 2027 value up 3.1% but units down 0.9%. For a small builder or property-related SME, expect buyers to focus on price, value and location, so plan for quality over volume. The association also plans to press for LTV, transfer-fee and mortgage-fee measures, and for rules on foreign residency (including a Usufruct Act bill).
