Key insights about rental yields in Indonesia

Insights

  • Jakarta apartments in core business districts consistently beat Bali villas on net yield. The gap is often 1.5 to 2 percentage points after you factor in villa maintenance and downtime costs.
  • The SCBD and Senopati area in Jakarta delivers the strongest Indonesia rental yields in 2026, with 2-bedroom apartments hitting 8.9% gross and leasing in under 16 days on average.
  • Canggu can match Jakarta on gross yield, but the picture changes once you deduct costs. A Canggu 2-bedroom villa's net yield drops to 6.2%, compared to 7.3% for the equivalent Jakarta apartment in SCBD.
  • Pantai Indah Kapuk punches above its weight. Its 2-bedroom apartments reach 8.4% gross with 95% occupancy, despite being a secondary Jakarta location with a much lower entry price than SCBD.
  • BSD City is the friendliest entry point in Greater Jakarta. A 2-bedroom house there starts at IDR 1.60 billion, roughly one-third of a comparable SCBD apartment, while still producing a 7.3% gross yield.
  • Smaller units lease faster almost everywhere in Indonesia. The SCBD 1-bedroom apartment rents in 14 days on average, while the 3-bedroom unit in the same neighborhood takes 22 days.
  • Ubud is the slowest Bali rental market in this dataset. Average time to rent runs 31 to 34 days depending on villa size, and occupancy drops to 66 to 70%, which creates a real income gap versus coastal Bali.
  • Pondok Indah large houses are the clearest underperformers in Indonesia. The 4-bedroom option produces only 5.3% gross and takes 36 days to rent, the worst combination in the entire dataset.
  • Sanur offers the most stable Bali option, but not the most profitable one. Occupancy is steadier than Canggu or Seminyak, but gross yields stop at 6.7% for the 2-bedroom villa and fall to 6.0% for the 3-bedroom.
  • Annual ownership costs in Indonesia vary dramatically by asset type. A Canggu 3-bedroom villa costs IDR 165 million per year to run, while a BSD City 2-bedroom house costs only IDR 18 million. That is a ninefold difference that changes the investment case entirely.
  • Kemang 1-bedroom apartments offer the lowest entry price among Jakarta's expat neighborhoods at IDR 1.70 billion, while still delivering 8.3% gross yield and 92% occupancy.
  • The net yield gap between Jakarta and Bali is structural, not accidental. Bali villas carry permanent cost drags from villa management, gardening, pool maintenance, and irregular occupancy that Jakarta apartments simply do not have.

About our methodology

We also believe it is important to show our reasoning. It is one of the ways we make our work solid, transparent, and rigorous, just as you will see in our real estate pack about Indonesia.

First, please note that this data is updated regularly, so what you see here reflects the current values as of today.

In order to get reliable data, we applied a strict source filter. We only used authoritative, verifiable sources, not random listings or unsupported figures. More on that point below.

For each Indonesia neighborhood and property type, we aggregated the freshest purchase price and monthly rent data available. When possible, we cross-checked multiple sources to confirm the same range.

This allowed us to estimate rental yield before costs. That is the gross yield, based on annual rent versus purchase price.

We then estimated rental yield after costs. That is the net yield, after recurring ownership and operating expenses.

These expenses vary significantly across Indonesia. That is why two areas with similar rents can still produce very different net returns.

For example, Bali villa owners face high management, maintenance, pool, and garden costs that Jakarta apartment owners simply do not face. In Jakarta, the main cost drag comes from service charges and condo fees, which vary by building age and location.

We also estimated ownership annual fees by combining the main recurring costs linked to each asset. This includes property taxes, building management fees where relevant, insurance, and a maintenance allowance. In Indonesia, we also reflected the official rental income tax treatment under PP 34 Tahun 2017, which applies a final tax on rental income from land and buildings.

These estimates were not applied as one flat number across the country. They were adjusted by neighborhood, property type, and ownership structure to better reflect local conditions in Jakarta, Greater Jakarta, and Bali.

This table should therefore be read as a structured market estimate, not as an exact guarantee of future performance. Honesty, quality, and rigor are at the core of our work, and they are also what you will find in our real estate pack about Indonesia.

What sources have we used to write this blog article?

Whether it's in our blog articles or the market analyses included in our real estate pack about Indonesia, we rely on verifiable sources and a transparent methodology.

We also aim to be fully transparent, so below we've listed the authoritative sources we used, and explained how we used them and the methods behind our estimates.

Source Why it matters How we used it
Bank Indonesia Residential Property Survey Q1 2025 Bank Indonesia is Indonesia's central bank, which makes its housing survey one of the strongest official market references available. We used it to anchor the national housing cycle and price-growth backdrop for Indonesia in 2026. It helped us avoid overstating market momentum in a still-soft environment.
BPS Residential Property Price Index 2025 This is an official publication from Indonesia's national statistics agency, covering 58 regions across 36 provinces. We used it to confirm that residential prices were still moving only modestly at the national level into 2025. It kept our neighborhood-level estimates conservative and grounded.
BPS Bali Room Occupancy Rates 2026 This is official Bali province occupancy data published directly by Indonesia's statistics agency. We used it as a formal occupancy anchor for Bali's tourism-linked rental economy. We adjusted it for villas since hotels and villas are not identical products.
Savills Indonesia Property Market Spotlight Q4 2025 Savills is a major global real estate consultancy with dedicated Indonesia coverage and submarket-level apartment data. We used it heavily to set Jakarta and Greater Jakarta asking prices per square meter and take-up rates by submarket. It was our primary anchor for SCBD, South Jakarta, and Tangerang pricing.
JLL Jakarta Residential Market Dynamics Q4 2025 JLL is one of the leading global real estate advisory firms with formal Jakarta residential market coverage. We used it to confirm that Jakarta condo pricing remained broadly flat into late 2025. It helped us avoid building an aggressive rent-led repricing story into our estimates.
Colliers Jakarta Apartment Q4 2025 Colliers is an established international property research firm with a dedicated Indonesia team. We used it as a second institutional check on Jakarta apartment submarket conditions, including incentive activity and stock levels. It cross-confirmed the softness we saw in the JLL and Savills data.
Pinhome Indonesia Residential Market Report 2025 H1 Pinhome is one of Indonesia's largest domestic property platforms, with real search and transaction-adjacent data from across the country. We used it to identify where rental and purchase searches are actually concentrated in Indonesia. It was essential for choosing practical neighborhoods that reflect real demand, not just theoretical investor targets.
Global Property Guide Indonesia Rental Yields Global Property Guide publishes structured yield comparisons using listing-based methodologies across many countries, including Indonesia. We used it as the main March 2026 benchmark for gross yields and median rent-to-price relationships. It anchored our Jakarta and Bali yield ranges before we made neighborhood-level adjustments.
Direktorat Jenderal Pajak - PPh Pasal 4(2) DJP is Indonesia's official tax authority, making it the definitive source for rental income tax rules. We used it to reflect Indonesia's final tax treatment on rental income from land and buildings. This shaped how we calculated the gap between gross and net yields.
