Demand still strong for new condos

Despite the large number of condominiums launched in Bangkok in last year's fourth quarter, the average take-up rate was 69%, says the property consultant Colliers International Thailand.

Surachet Kongcheep, the senior manager of research, said consumer confidence was strong, as there were no negative factors affecting the market last year.

Some projects were sold out in only one day or achieved a high take-up rate within a few days, showing the market remained strong, he said.

    Non performing auto-loans are spiking, but longer-term real estate loans are still doing just fine? Come on. We all know where the "demand" for these condos is coming from.

    Thailand is creating a credit bubble at possibly the worst time in world-history to do so. Wages in Thailand are up while global consumption is going down. Does anyone not know how that story ends?

    Quite soon, we'll hear from government economists that the housing boom "can't be a bubble" because it's fueled by "demand".

    I remember those headlines in Greece, Ireland and Spain...
