Welcome to exotiq
December 2012 - May 2013
Welcome to Exotiq Magazine 2013 where we showcase the best resort
property for sale in paradise from Exotiq Property, Asia’s largest
resort focused real estate consultancy, with five offices in Thailand,
four in Bali and one in Lombok.
Exotiq Magazine is just one of the unique tools developed by Exotiq
Property to aide buyers and sellers to achieve their property
objectives. If you are a seller you should get hold of our ‘Sellers’
Guide’, which is full of information about marketing property for sale
by contacting us at info@exotiq.com. If you are a buyer please browse our award winning website at www.exotiqproperty.com, where you’ll find over 450 listings across Thailand and Indonesia.
The big change to our publication is that we are now publishing once
yearly in Thailand and twice yearly in Indonesia listing more properties
that ever before. In addition to a fine selection of luxury villas,
apartments and land plots, it is packed full of interesting articles
about buying, owning, furnishing property in these unique tropical
destinations as well as the destinations within and what the tropical
lifestyle has to offer. We have also approached the top international
law firms to find out from the experts what are the most important legal
issues confronting foreign buyers at the moment.
Looking back, it has been an eventful 10 years for Exotiq Property, a
decade fraught with challenges both good and bad, but through it all we
have weathered the storms and are proud to still be here providing
excellence in property services in this most beautiful part of the
world.
Not long after opening our first offices, the devastating Bali bombing
occurred bringing the economy of the island to a virtual standstill.
There were nothing but empty planes, empty rooms, empty shops, empty
roads, and empty real estate markets. Yet prices didn’t slump.
Everything stayed put and not much sold as a result. Slowly things came
back to normal and prices picked up just in time for the SARS virus
epidemic scare which affected all of Asia, followed soon after by the
Tsunami in December 2004, which dealt a devastating blow to the region,
in particular Thailand. A year later the second bombs went off in Bali,
and while property market took longer to recover, prices still didn’t go
down. Then, in 2007, just as the property markets were booming, the
Global Economic Crisis hit; deals got cancelled and deposits were lost
as the cash dried up significantly affecting the Thailand and Indonesian
markets.
If the decade has taught us anything, it’s that the market is cyclical
and as we come to the close of 2012 and look forward to 2013, we are
again in a solid real estate market. After witnessing the colossal
returns on investment that buyers in these markets have achieved over
the past few years, not to mention being able to enjoy a tropical
lifestyle that most can only dream about, it is safe to say that the
time to buy is always now. If you don’t you may live to regret it.
So, without further ado, read on and start living the dream.

Exotiq Property
As the world's property values continue their downward spiral as a result of the global financial crisis, Southeast Asia's resort markets continue to buck the trend with increasing demand for a piece of the tropical real estate action. In Bali and Indonesia that demand is stronger than ever, while it growing steadily in Thailand as it starts to put its political instability behind it. Indonesian and Thailand real estate are buoyant cash market with very few mortgages and financing options available, which means no risk of foreclosure or unnecessary fire sales. This has created a solid platform that leads to continued appreciation in financial investment.
