Chonburi: condos lead, houses lag

Segment	New sales (YoY)	Unsold units	Absorption / month	Months to sell out
All types	+39.1%	40,502 (-4.6%)	2.4%	39
Condominiums	+74.5%	19,932 (-3.5%)	3.0%	31
Housing estates	+2.7%	20,057 (-6.1%)	1.8%	54

Chonburi is the EEC's largest market with 43,591 units for sale (-2.4%). New project launches jumped 112.9% year on year. The all-types total is higher than condos plus houses because it includes other types not shown separately. Figures are as published by REIC; supply minus new sales does not exactly equal unsold units, likely due to different counting bases in the release.

Zones to watch

Zone	Segment	Signal
Pattaya–Na Jomtien	Condo	New sales +54.6%
Laem Chabang–Bang Lamung	Condo	Highest absorption, 5.2% a month
Amata Nakorn–Bypass	Houses	Unsold +22.7%, about 74 months to sell
Huai Yai	Houses	About 74 months
Si Racha–Nong Kham	Houses	About 66 months

This REIC release does not break out Sattahip or Bang Saray, so treat these as province-level signals.

What it means for buyers and sellers

Houses in Chonburi are a buyer's market. With about 54 months of stock, developers have room for discounts, free extras or paying transfer fees.
Pattaya–Na Jomtien condos are selling faster, so well-located or sea-view units may have less room for negotiation than a year ago.
Foreign-quota condos likely have a broader buyer pool — an inference from rising national transfers to Russian buyers, not local data — sellers should market in English and state quota availability clearly.
Anyone planning a sale should consider completing it before the new land appraisal takes effect on 1 January 2027.
