Key Takeaways
- Ask whether the specific listing is still available and when its status was last confirmed.
- Compare like with like: property type, district, floor or land area, title/tenure, condition and included furniture.
- Separate asking prices from completed transactions. Ask what evidence supports a seller’s figure; an advertised amount is not a sale comparable.
- Check the unit or parcel, registered rights, building records and transfer route independently before paying a reservation deposit.
REIC recorded 2,650 advertised second-hand homes in Phuket at quarter-end and 1,905 registered resale transfers during Q2. These are different measures, so do not divide one by the other to estimate a sales rate.
Short answer: REIC reported 2,650 advertised second-hand homes in Phuket at the end of Q2 2026, while 1,905 resale title transfers were registered during the quarter. The first figure is a point-in-time listing inventory assembled from several sources; the second is a quarterly count of completed registrations. They describe different things and are not a listings-to-sales ratio.
What does the listing count include?
The Government Housing Bank’s Real Estate Information Center (REIC) compiles advertised resale supply from multiple channels, including property portals, financial institutions and the Legal Execution Department. It is a snapshot of properties offered for sale at quarter-end, not a clean count of every unique property actively marketed. Listing status, duplication and asking information can vary by source.
REIC’s Q2 release reports 2,650 Phuket resale listings, up 21.1% year on year, with an advertised value of THB 24.656 billion. Its separate Land Department series records 1,905 second-hand home transfers in Phuket during Q2, up 4.8% year on year. The figures can inform a market discussion, but the snapshot and quarterly flow have different timing, definitions and coverage. Do not divide 1,905 by 2,650 or call the result a probability of sale, absorption rate or time-to-sell measure.
How should a buyer use the report?
Use the numbers to frame questions, then return to the actual building or street you are considering:
- Ask whether the specific listing is still available and when its status was last confirmed.
- Compare like with like: property type, district, floor or land area, title/tenure, condition and included furniture.
- Separate asking prices from completed transactions. Ask what evidence supports a seller’s figure; an advertised amount is not a sale comparable.
- Check the unit or parcel, registered rights, building records and transfer route independently before paying a reservation deposit.

Fact-check flags: the listing snapshot, year-on-year changes and transfer counts are REIC’s dated Q2 2026 series, not live market data. Listing sources may overlap or contain stale records. The two series are not directly comparable and cannot establish sale speed, discounts, demand, price direction or an individual property’s value. Recheck current availability and property records before acting.
