Why buy property with FazWaz?
Why buy property with FazWaz?

Why smart investors prefer to buy new-build units through FazWazBuying a new build home is one of the biggest decisions you may make in your life - and it's not something you can undo again if you get it wrong! New developments can be confusing to first time buyers, leaving the buyer subject to pressure from the developer, misrepresenting agents, and pushed into investment decisions they later regret. Financing for many new build projects in Cambodia can also prove to be a major issue for buyers who have not fully understood the loan terms and conditions.Luckily, FazWaz Cambodia’s launch in 2020 has allowed a true partner for Cambodian real estate buyers - from the start of your property search, until the final handover.FazWaz represents their buyers first and foremost, and guarantees to offer independent and genuine advice on the benefits and risks of project investments.

Residential rental market resilient amid new COVID-19 fears
Residential rental market resilient amid new COVID-19 fears
June 6, 2022, 5:00 p.m.
Phnom Penh’s rental market remained broadly unaffected by the renewed fears caused by the country’s first local transmission. According to Realestate.com.kh’s Market Trends, recorded apartments for rent in Phnom Penh are showing consistent median rental prices across the spectrum.Key highlights of properties for rent in Phnom Penh:1-bedroom apartments’ median rental price remains unchanged at $6002-bedroom apartments’ median rental price saw a 5% decrease to $9003-bedroom apartments’ stabilized at a median rental price of $1,800Sen Sok offers the lowest median residential rental price in Phnom PenhMarket Trend values are median prices found across Phnom Penh and are designed as a guide to navigate price ranges. Realestate.com.kh advises interested buyers to visit the properties for rent in Phnom Penh page for the specific price of projects they may be interested in.Local demand played a big role in buoying the affordable and mid-range sector from economic pressures caused by the global pandemic. The 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartment selection Phnom Penh, in particular, experienced minimal changes for most of 2020. Though it has to be noted that the events of the November 28 incident are yet to be fully seen.Large apartments like 3-bedroom selections have had their prices fluctuate as they mainly housed expatriates. The onset of COVID-19 resulted in this market shrinking as international travel restrictions went into effect. The expatriate market will likely continue to play a smaller role relative to its pre-COVID-19 state.According to Market Trends, Sen Sok offers the lowest median rental price for condominiums at $600. Given that this is the median price, interested renters have a good chance of finding cheaper accommodations within the fast-developing district.Cambodia’s first local transmission reignited scares of new economic pressures. Fortunately, health authorities have been quick to control the local outbreak and consequently stemming renewed fears from immediately affecting market confidence.The government recently announced a stamp duty tax exemption deadline extension for property worth less than US$70,000. The new deadline has been set to December 2021 and was made to encourage developers to offer more attractive prices to property buyers.Overall, Cambodia’s real estate sector is still suffering a slump due to the limited number of foreign investments. The recent COVID-19 cases have shown that the country is still vulnerable to outbreaks. And without a working vaccine in commercial circulation, it may take additional time for the property market to recover to pre-pandemic levels.Article by:

First local transmission to extend pressure on property market
First local transmission to extend pressure on property market
June 6, 2022, 5:00 p.m.
The year 2020 has been a tough year for Phnom Penh’s property sector, particularly in the high-end spectrum of the market. And with a return of the scare due to Cambodia’s first COVID-19 community infection, the pressure may be kept for longer than initially anticipated.Key highlights of the sale price trend in Phnom Penh:3-bedroom apartments see a 7% increase in the median sale price ~$300,0002-bedroom apartments faced a 5% downward pressure from September1-bedroom apartments saw a significant decrease of 20% median sale priceDangkao, 7 Makara, and Por Sen Chey off lowest median sale price among Phnom Penh districtsMarket Trend values are median prices found across Phnom Penh and are designed as a guide to navigate price ranges. Realestate.com.kh advises interested buyers to visit the condominiums for sale in Phnom Penh page for the specific price of projects they may be interested in.2-bedrooms and 1-bedroom condominium prices in Phnom Penh have seen a noteworthy decrease in median sale price. 2-bedroom homes only saw a minor adjustment of 5%, bringing median prices down to ~$170,000. 1-bedroom condominium prices, however, saw a more significant decrease of almost 19% putting median prices down to ~$85,000.Data recorded throughout November showed a returning interest and confidence in the high-end of the condominium market. Prior to the November 28 incident, confirmed cases have been kept to a minimum as authorities have done relatively well in containing further infections. As a result of these measures, Google’s Mobility Index report in early November recorded a gradual return of foot traffic in Phnom Penh’s retail and entertainment destinations.The full effects of the November 28 incident are yet to be reflected on Market Trends particularly on 3-bedroom condominiums in Phnom Penh. Though it can already be seen that the confidence gained over the course of 2020 is shaken. Google Mobility Index’s report in early December showed as much as a 39% decrease in foot traffic to retail and entertainment destinations in the weeks following the incident. Google’s report, overall, showed more people choosing to stay at home for most of December.Cambodian businesses, including the property sector, will likely have to deal with an extended period of reaching out to consumers in their homes.Online property sales continue in CambodiaThe importance of online marketing and marketplaces are once again emphasized as more people are choosing to limit their time outside. Online marketing events make it easy for both buyers and sellers to connect throughout an extended period of self-quarantines and other general public precautions.Realestate.com.kh’s Online Year-End Property Sale 2020 is one such on-going property sale event offering exclusive discounts on over 20 developments in Cambodia. The online event has so far sold properties in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap throughout December - all the while safeguarding developers, agents, and buyers alike from unnecessary exposure outdoors.Registration is free for the event but discounted units are limited.

Meanchey, Chbar Ampov as new shopping hotspots in 2021-2023
Meanchey, Chbar Ampov as new shopping hotspots in 2021-2023
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
Phnom Penh consumers will be treated to a litany of new shopping destinations come 2021-2023. Photo by Khmer Times.The Kingdom’s shopping scene hit another speed bump as the country grapples with a renewed series of COVID-19 cases. While the year 2020 has dampened an otherwise lively shopping sector, the next few years (2021-2023) should give Cambodian consumers a lot to look forward to.The Mall Company, a retail specialist in Cambodia, recently released a report providing insight and analysis into the current and future retail landscape in Meanchey and Chbar Ampov. You can check this guide on shopping malls in Phnom Penh for currently operating malls.Upcoming shopping hotspots: Meanchey and Chbar AmpovRetail property owners, entrepreneurs, and keen shoppers would be aware that Phnom Penh’s shopping landscape will be seeing a major uplift soon enough. According to a report by The Mall Company, the Chip Mong MegaMall, AEON Mall 3, PH Diamond Mall, and PH Eco Mall are the largest projects rising in Meanchey and Chbar Ampov - expected from Q4 2021 to 2023.While shopping malls are certainly exciting, community malls such as Boueng Snor Food Village and WB Arena are part of the mix, adding variety to Phnom Penh’s outdoor dining and retail scene.Meanchey, the south’s modern shopping districtAEON Mall 3 is the elephant in the room when it comes to big upcoming malls in Phnom Penh. Image courtesy of Cambodia Properties.Khan Meanchey is an expansive area south/southwest of Phnom Penh measuring 43.8km square km in the capital’s southeast. This makes Meanchey one of the largest districts being home to almost 300,000 residents, also making it one of the most populated in Phnom Penh. According to The Mall Company report, Meanchey’s currently operational modern retail space is measured at 6,683 sqm or only 2% of the total modern retail supply. As of December 2020, a total of 174,578 sqm of modern retail supply is under development in the district. The report suggests that should all modern retail projects complete as expected, Meanchey’s contribution to the total modern retail supply in Phnom Penh will swell to 18% by 2025.The urban areas of Khan Meanchey, especially along main roads, reveals a gap in the market for well-positioned, modern community malls. This presents an opportunity to capitalize on the convenience offered by modern community mall formats, made more attractive by easy access for the large demographic.Image render of the upcoming Chip Mong 271 Megamall. Image courtesy of Chip Mong Group.The report suggests that the large scale retail developments within Boueng Tumpun and Chak Angre will drive further residential and population growth in the district. But with COVID-19 currently dampening demand, supply may outstrip demand resulting in a tenant-led market creating an opportunity for retail occupiers to negotiate favorable lease conditions. “For mall developers, flexible leasing strategies are required as well as creative trade zone use, clearly identifiable mall concepts, and looking beyond Cambodia to attract new brands with particular attention to attracting key anchor tenants,” noted Simon Griffiths, Managing Director of The Mall Company.Despite the current struggles of the retail market, The Mall Company’s report cites Sen Sok’s boom as an example of the growth a district may see following a massive commercial project (such as AEON Mall 2). With AEON Mall 3 right around the corner, Meanchey’s property market will likely have its own development boom.Chbar Ampov, a satellite shopping cityImage render of the upcoming Boeung Snor Food Village in Chbar Ampov. Photo courtesy of The Mall Company.Chbar Ampov is a fast-developing district in the southeast of Phnom Penh. Though the district is known for its natural beauty, the area is filled with major modern developments in its pipeline. Both local and international developers are taking advantage of the pristine environment through modern technology and recognition of its future market potential.According to the Mall Company report, Chbar Ampov’s currently operational retail space is measured at 8,122 sqm or only 2% of the city’s total modern retail supply. As of December 2020, the district has 63,723 sqm of modern retail supply in development. The district’s contribution to the total modern retail supply in Phnom Penh will increase to 6% by 2025, provided projects are completed as scheduled.Modern retail supply in Chbar Ampov as of today heavily focuses on food & beverage and convenience with over 85% of supply dedicated to these uses, according to the Mall Company’s report. This provides an opportunity and a gap in the market for main-stream fashion, services, and entertainment to enter the location and capitalize on the strength of the demographic.Koh Norea in Chbar Ampov will soon directly be connected to Koh Pich. Photo by KT/ Khem Sovannara.The Nirouth subdistrict of Chbar Ampov will also become a highlight of the district given it is the site of the upcoming Koh Norea Island City developed by the Overseas Cambodian Investment Corporation (OCIC). Nirouth is also where the bridge connecting Koh Pich and Chbar Ampov will be located, adding another bridge to access the district.Article by:
Retail foot traffic drop 25% following November 28 incident
Retail foot traffic drop 25% following November 28 incident
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
Retailers may need to go back to the drawing board to attract foot traffic and build confidence. Photo by K/T Pann Rachana.Retail and entertainment foot traffic dropped by 25% on November 29-Dec1, according to Google’s Mobility Tracker. Considered to be the country’s first community infection, the new case forced an abrupt halt to an otherwise popular event to reignite the country’s consumer and retail markets.Prior to the Nov-28 incident, Google’s Mobility Tracker recorded Cambodian foot traffic gradually returning to retail and entertainment destinations. October 2020 recorded a 15% decrease in foot traffic from the baseline. This was followed in November by as low as -6% foot traffic, with Nov 27-28 further minimizing the gap with a 4% mark below the traffic baseline.Google’s Mobility Data suggested a trend from more consumers in Cambodia visiting retail and entertainment destinations once again - a market trend built up from almost a year of being limited to where one can go and from the country’s own effective handling of the virus so far.According to a report by the Khmer Times, over 11,000 people who were linked to the November 28 incident have undergone COVID-19 testing. As of December 7, a total of 32 new cases from the community infection were found bringing the cumulative number of cases in Cambodia to 348.Health authorities are currently conducting contact tracing and verifying the identities of “patient zero”, believed to be the source of Cambodia’s first community infection.A long way to recoveryAEON Mall 1 reopened on Dec. 2 following its closure a few days prior. Photo by K/T Siv Channa.AEON Mall 1 was allowed to reopen last December 2 following an immediate order to close off last November 28. However, the mall was not as crowded given that it was the most public area the community case visited.The new COVID-19 case, found in a popular retail mall, brings retail landlords back to the drawing board of keeping their retailers’ lifeline and attracting foot traffic once again.“The situation is concerning,” said Simon Griffiths, the Managing Director of The Mall Company, a retail specialist in Cambodia. “There is the potential for wider implications than previous cases.”Simon previously hoped December to be a positive month for retailers to improve sales considering the cooler weather favors outdoor dining and retail activity in general, but now laments that “This is no longer the reality. The sector must be patient, follow guidance but remember there is light at the end of the tunnel”“As of the situation today, store sales and revenues for at least the 1st half of December will likely drop and negatively impact retailers” he notes and that a good December was needed for an already impacted retail sector.“The end is in sight, we’ve hit a speed bump and currently we don’t know what the full effect of the impact will be. The sector has struggled but can rebound with a pragmatic, sensible, and safe approach” Simon remarked.A new round of precautions and restrictions on large public gatherings have been implemented as new community cases are found. The November 28 incident serves as a reminder that the road to recovery remains a long journey that is not over.Article by:

Additionally, it is expected to attract an estimated £1.5bn of new investment and generate 22,000 jobs in the region.Birmingham City, considered the 2nd largest city next to London itself, is a leading business destination with a regional economy of over £90 billion. This surge in business interest is helped by the relocation of Deutsche Bank and HSBC bringing in affluent professionals with plenty to spend in a growing metropolitan city.But big business isn’t the only driving force within the city. Birmingham is home to a largely young demographic, no small thanks to the presence of 5 universities with over 73,000 UK and overseas students choosing Birmingham as their place to study and build careers. This movement has given the city a thriving and ever-growing market for property developers and investors looking long-term.
Sen Sok, Meanchey districts offer lowest median condo sale prices
Sen Sok, Meanchey districts offer lowest median condo sale prices
June 6, 2022, 5:01 p.m.
Property developers and seekers alike look to Sen Sok as the prime development hub for the next few years. SuppliedAccording to Realestate.com.kh’s Market Trends report, the median sale price for Sen Sok apartment/condo properties is recorded at 138,000 USD while Meanchey is recorded at 115,000 USD. These two districts offer the lowest median sale price for condos in October-November 2020.The districts of Sen Sok and Meanchey are seeing its vast lands become a staging ground for sprawling boreys, high-rise condos, and multi-level shopping malls, such as AEON Mall 2 and the upcoming AEON Mall 3. This is a result of Phnom Penh’s rapid urbanization pushing many developers to look outward for new development opportunities. Khan Sen Sok, in particular, is fast-developing with quality condominiums surrounded by a growing number of urban comforts close to that of Daun Penh and 7 Makara, for a much lower asking price. City Gem, a new condominium development close to AEON Mall 2, is currently offering its residential units (up to 39sqm) for as low as 36,000 USD. More high-class condos in the area, such as the Phnom Penh Galaxy Garden, has residential units (up to 80sqm) that can be had for as low as 66,000 USD.Property developers and investors alike expect the Sen Sok district to see its land/property values rise as more borey and condo projects are announced and finished within the next few years.Khan Meanchey, Phnom Penh’s southern district, is seeing interest from condo developers as of late. The district is primarily a suburban area mainly populated by shophouses and a growing number of boreys.

Big Tree Community Mall, National Road 5, Russey Keo. Soft-Opening July 2021. Supplied.According to a report by The Mall Company, a retail specialist in Cambodia, retail spaces in Phnom Penh are expected to increase to just short of 1 million sqm NLA by 2025; giving the city a total of 62 retail destinations in 5 years’ time.Within 2020 to date, 9 modern retail properties (totaling 50,045 sqm) have begun operations. By 2021, another 18 modern retail properties (totaling 217,092 sqm) are expected to open. The Mall Company’s report is tracking 14 other retail properties to begin operations between 2022-2025 (totaling 242,226 sqm)As for the districts seeing the new retail property, Simon Griffiths, Managing Director of The Mall Company shares that “The districts of Sen Sok, Meanchey, Chamkarmon, Toul Kork, and Chbar Ampov are hotspots for upcoming retail properties,” he noted, however, that, “The larger the mall, the bigger the population needed within the catchment area to supply customers daily to the shopping center”Community Mall growth accelerating to become the most popular retail propertyAs of Q3 2020, the total existing retail properties in Phnom Penh number at 30. The Mall Company’s report breaks this down to 5 primary retail classifications: shopping malls, community malls, shopping centers, retail podiums, and retail arcades.17 (out of 30) retail properties are classified as Community Malls, making it the most numerous type of retail property in Phnom Penh and contributes 93,697 sqm NLA.

Retail podiums and retail arcades are expected to significantly increase in property count and retail space NLA by 2025 due to the development of large mixed-use properties.New shopping experience for a new generationAccording to Simon, there are several factors driving Cambodia’s retail supply growth. One is the popularity and significant growth and expansion of the Borey market particularly within the suburban districts of Phnom Penh.“Borey developers have witnessed the increasingly competitive nature of their sector, so, to gain competitive advantage have been turning to modern retail as one selling point to attract buyers. This has led to shopping malls, retail plazas, and community malls being incorporated with larger Borey and township projects” said Simon.Simon also noted, the increasing engagement of Cambodians, particularly the younger generation, in modern shopping options. Simon observes that “Millennials and Generation Z have grown up in a vastly different world to their parents and they demand and desire modern retail formats.” he emphasized, “They seek new environments, entertainment, and experiences. This provides developers with an opportunity to fulfill the demand with modern retail properties.”“The Mall Company is currently working with multiple developers to bring new community malls to life from concept design and financial feasibility all the way through to leasing and mall management.” shared Simon.“We [The Mall Company] are planning and working with developers to plan community malls in many different Sangkats and expect this trend to continue with community malls leading the way in terms of retail expansion to serve the growth and expansion of new residential areas.”Article by:

The Cambodian real estate market, one of the key drivers of economic growth in the country, suffered a slowdown during the height of COVID-19 scares. But as cases continue to be under control, returning commercial interests are slowly breathing life back into the Cambodian property market.Key highlights of condo/apartment prices in Cambodia:3-bedroom condo/apartment median prices remain at ~$212,000The decrease in 3-bedroom condo/apartment median prices offer a better value proposition to Cambodian buyers2-bedroom condo/apartment median prices hold steady at ~$168,0001-bedroom condo apartment median price increase by 14% to ~$105,000These values are median prices found across Cambodia and are only meant to be used as a guide to navigate price ranges. Realestate.com.kh advises interested buyers to visit our condo listings page for prices specific to projects you may be interested in.Prices for large bedrooms have gone down as a result of a decrease in high-class property demand from international buyers.
