Bali Real Estate: What $100K Can Buy in Tropical Paradise

Bali is on the rise - it ranks highly in various rankings, has seen rapid infrastructure development, and tourism traffic is breaking records. More and more expats are choosing the island as a place for permanent residence, and five-star hotels are at their peak occupancy. Bali real estate market is booming, and the rental business is the most profitable in the world.

Here are some facts about tourism trends in Bali:



5,200,000 foreign tourists in 2023

140% growth in tourist arrivals in 2023

expected 7,000,000 tourists in 2024



The real estate market in Bali is at its highest point of development, and it clearly has room to grow. The supply is clearly not keeping up with the demand, which attracts investors from all over the world. Today, you can find properties in Bali for any budget - from compact apartments to luxurious villas worth millions of dollars. There is a range of options available, from traditional Balinese-style homes to ultra-modern villas with smart home systems.



The success of Bali's real estate market is determined by the following factors:



Enormous unsatisfied demand for tourist properties

Affordable construction that takes only about a year on average

Availability of inexpensive land for development

Where else in the world can you get rental income of up to 15% per year without having to wait for years for the property to be built? Developers offer flexible payment schemes with installment plans. Typically, you pay a 30% down payment and then make equal payments during the construction process. During construction, the value of your property can increase by up to 20%, allowing you to either sell the villa for a profit or rent it out and enjoy excellent rental income.

What can you purchase within a budget of up to $100,000? Despite the seemingly small budget, there are options available. Here's what you can expect:

Apartments ranging from 30-40 sqm in almost any part of the island

Villas with one bedroom, sized between 70-80 sqm, in the Uluwatu area

Villas with one or two bedrooms in the Ubud or Sunset Road area

It's worth noting that the return on investment (ROI) is higher for the more affordable options and decreases as the property price increases. With the right selection, you can expect up to a 20% annual return on your investment. If you're purchasing property for personal use, you can certainly find a new, fully furnished villa in the Butite or Ubud area, ready for immediate occupancy.

Here are a few tips on how to use your budget most effectively:
