Price Changes by Area

Price growth in June 2026 was geographically broad-based, though premium coastal areas continued to outperform the interior markets.

Seminyak & Petitenget

The Seminyak-Petitenget corridor saw average villa prices rise to A$1.85 million, up 4.5% month-on-month and 18% year-on-year. Limited land availability and strong demand from Australian and European buyers kept upward pressure on prices. Leasehold land in this area now commands premiums of up to A$1,200 per m² per year.

Canggu & Berawa

Canggu’s villa market averaged A$1.42 million in June, a 3.2% monthly increase. New boutique developments in Berawa and Batu Bolong are selling quickly, with several projects achieving 70% pre-sale absorption before completion. The area remains the top choice for digital nomad investors aged 30–45.

Ubud & Gianyar

Ubud’s wellness-oriented property segment saw steady appreciation, with average villa prices climbing to A$890,000. Eco-luxury villas with sustainable features command a 15–20% premium over standard builds in the area.

Bukit Peninsula (Uluwatu, Bingin, Padang Padang)

The Bukit continued its strong run, with average prices reaching A$1.65 million. The cliffside luxury segment (A$3M+) recorded seven transactions in June alone, the highest monthly figure since 2023.

Sanur & East Coast

Sanur emerged as a sleeper hit in June, with transaction volumes up 22% year-on-year. Average prices rose to A$750,000, making it an attractive entry point for first-time Bali property investors.

Foreign Buyer Activity

Foreign buyers accounted for 42% of all transactions in June 2026, up from 35% a year earlier. Australian buyers remained the largest cohort at 38% of foreign purchases, followed by buyers from the United Kingdom (14%), Singapore (11%), Germany (8%), and China (7%).

The introduction of the second-home visa (Visa Rumah Kedua) in late 2025 has been a clear catalyst, with 156 approved applications directly linked to property purchases in Bali as of June 2026. This visa allows qualifying foreign investors to reside in Indonesia for 5–10 years, removing a key barrier for buyers who previously hesitated over residency concerns.

Notably, PT PMA corporate structures accounted for 67% of foreign purchases in June, reflecting growing awareness of the tax and liability advantages discussed in our companion article on PT PMA vs individual ownership.

New Listings and Supply Dynamics

New listings reached 312 in June, up 8% from May and 17.7% from June 2025. However, the quality mix has shifted: entry-level listings under A$500,000 declined by 12% year-on-year, while luxury listings over A$2 million increased by 34%. This bifurcation reflects developers’ focus on high-margin projects and the dwindling supply of affordable freehold land within 10 km of the coast.

Construction costs in Bali rose approximately 8% year-on-year in June 2026, driven by imported material price increases and skilled labour shortages. This has contributed to higher asking prices for new-build villas, particularly in the luxury segment.

Outlook for Q3 2026

We expect the current momentum to carry through Q3, with potential headwinds from rising global interest rates partially offset by continued strong demand from foreign buyers seeking a hedge against inflation via hard assets in Bali. The key risk to watch is the upcoming Indonesian regional elections, which may cause a brief transaction slowdown in September as buyers adopt a wait-and-see approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is now a good time to buy property in Bali?

Yes—June 2026 data shows strong price appreciation and growing foreign buyer activity. However, buyers should act strategically, as prime freehold land in coastal areas is becoming scarcer. Working with a reputable agency like Pertama Property ensures you access off-market opportunities.

2. Which area of Bali has the best property investment returns?

Canggu and Seminyak currently lead in capital appreciation, while Sanur and Ubud offer attractive entry points with strong rental yields (8–12% gross). The Bukit Peninsula is best for high-end luxury investments.

3. How does the foreign buyer process work in Bali?

Foreigners can buy leasehold properties directly or use a PT PMA company to hold freehold land. Obtaining the second-home visa (Visa Rumah Kedua) has streamlined the process for qualifying investors. Our PT PMA guide covers the corporate ownership route in detail.

4. What is the minimum budget for buying a villa in Bali?

A decent leasehold villa in a good location starts from approximately A$350,000–A$500,000. For freehold land via a PT PMA, budget at least A$600,000–A$800,000 including setup costs.

5. Are property prices in Bali expected to keep rising?

Based on current trends—limited supply, strong international demand, and supportive visa policies—prices are projected to appreciate 10–15% annually through 2027 in prime locations.
