The real estate market in Cambodia is projected to see positive growth in 2024. It is projected to reach US$601.10bn by 2024. Fewer new property launches will allow buyers to purchase from the currently available properties. Several major condominium projects will also be completed in Phnom Penh in 2024.
Our real estate experts in Cambodia are optimistic about real estate market growth. “We expect the market will improve marginally in 2024. Fewer launches will enable buyers to buy from the existing housing supply. This will fill a much-needed demand-supply gap. Moreover, the confirmed upcoming projects align well with the present market requirements.”
Our experts at IPS Cambodia are excited to share the latest projections and updates on Cambodia’s property market for 2024. In the following sections, we will provide insights into the current state. We will also highlight some of the most promising developments expected in 2024. Scroll down to explore!
Cambodia’s Property Market Analysis
The global and regional economic uncertainties have created a cautious approach among first-time buyers. These uncertainties include:

These will be among the tallest buildings in Phnom Penh once completed.
