Has Bali Property Market Just Crashed? July 2025 May Mark the Start of the Real Estate Bust
Hi, I’m Jason, a Business Journalist at Bukit Vista, and today on Bali Business Review, we’re taking a hard look at Bali’s property market to ask a real question: Are we witnessing the beginning of a major crash?
July 2025 brought a startling revelation backed by live public data—property listings on Rumah123, one of Indonesia’s largest real estate platforms, have surged dramatically from 18,000 to over 98,000 in just three months. This fivefold growth has set off alarms among property insiders, investors, and homeowners alike. In this article, we’ll break down the data, explore what’s driving this sudden supply surge, and consider what it all means for the future of real estate on the Island of the Gods.
A Flood of Listings: What the Numbers Are Saying about Bali Property Market
In the featured video “Has Bali Property Market Just Crashed? July 2025 Could Be the Start of the Bali Real Estate Bust”, analysts examine live market listings from Rumah123. The data shows a spike in seller activity with listings now exceeding 98,000 properties for sale in Bali. That’s over five times more than what we saw just three months ago.
This level of inventory growth is typically associated with panic selling or rapidly declining buyer interest. In either case, it signals a highly unbalanced market. As supply floods the market and demand lags far behind, prices may soon begin to soften—or worse, collapse—in certain sectors.
Why It Matters: Too Many Sellers, Not Enough Buyers
The dramatic listing increase has one clear implication: Bali property market supply has far outpaced demand. With fewer organic buyers in the market—both domestic and international—a major oversupply problem is looming. Even premium and investment-grade properties are sitting idle on the market, a rare occurrence in an area often viewed as a haven for property investors.
This imbalance raises the question: is the real estate boom we saw in recent years now reversing into a downturn?
What This Means for Investors, Property Owners, and Developers
- For investors: The sell-off may present buying opportunities, but only for those with strong strategic positions. Distress sales may open the door to discounted assets, but the risk of devaluation must be carefully assessed.
- For current owners: Holding property just got more complicated. The surge in listings may reduce rental income potential and deflate projected resale values. Owners should closely monitor the market’s liquidity and revisit long-term exit strategies.
- For developers: Caution is critical. Launching new projects in an oversupplied environment could backfire. Developers should consider delaying new inventory releases and focus instead on selling existing stock or repositioning their assets.
Still Think It’s Just Market Noise?
While some may see this as temporary turbulence, the scope and speed of the listing surge suggest something deeper. Could it be seasonality? A post-pandemic correction? Or the natural consequence of overleveraging during the boom years of 2021–2024?
