What is the average housing price in Cambodia in 2026?

The median housing price in Cambodia in 2026 is more useful than the average housing price because it shows what a normal buyer is more likely to pay, while the average is pushed higher by villas, shophouses, and luxury condos.

We are writing this as of 2026, with the latest Cambodia housing data collected from authoritative sources and manually double checked.

The median housing price in Cambodia in 2026 is about 503 million KHR, which is around $125,000 or €108,000.

The average housing price in Cambodia in 2026 is about 846 million KHR, which is around $210,000 or €181,000.

For about 80% of the Cambodia residential property market in 2026, a realistic price range is about 181 million KHR to 1.81 billion KHR, which is around $45,000 to $450,000, or €39,000 to €388,000.

A realistic entry range in Cambodia in 2026 is about 181 million KHR to 322 million KHR, or $45,000 to $80,000, or €39,000 to €69,000, and this usually buys a 35 to 50 sqm existing condo or affordable new condo in outer Phnom Penh, Meanchey, Chbar Ampov, Sen Sok, Dangkor, Siem Reap, or Sihanoukville.

A realistic luxury property range in Cambodia in 2026 is about 2.82 billion KHR to 8.05 billion KHR, or $700,000 to $2 million, or €604,000 to €1.72 million, and this usually buys a large villa, a river-view penthouse, or a high-end condo in BKK1, Tonle Bassac, Daun Penh, Riverside, or a premium borey area in Phnom Penh.

By the way, you will find much more detailed price ranges in our property pack covering the real estate market in Cambodia.

Are Cambodia property listing prices close to the actual sale price in 2026?

In Cambodia in 2026, listed property prices are usually about 5% to 12% above actual sale prices, with 8% as a useful central estimate.

This gap exists because Cambodia is a buyer’s market in 2026, with falling residential prices, weak absorption, and many sellers still anchored to older boom-period prices.

The gap varies the most for resale condos, over-supplied completed stock, and sellers who need liquidity, while rare prime units and some developer launches may have less room for negotiation.

What is the price per sq m or per sq ft for properties in Cambodia in 2026?

As of 2026, the median housing price in Cambodia is about 5.4 million KHR per sqm, or $1,350 per sqm, or €1,164 per sqm, which is about 504,000 KHR per sqft, or $125 per sqft, or €108 per sqft.

The average housing price in Cambodia in 2026 is about 6.6 million KHR per sqm, or $1,650 per sqm, or €1,423 per sqm, which is about 617,000 KHR per sqft, or $153 per sqft, or €132 per sqft.

The highest price per sqm in Cambodia in 2026 is usually found in small prime condos and serviced-style units in central Phnom Penh, while the lowest price per sqm is usually found in outer-district landed homes, older flats, and peripheral borey stock.

The highest price per sqm in Cambodia in 2026 is usually in BKK1, Tonle Bassac, Daun Penh, Riverside, and prime Chamkarmon, with an estimated range of about 9.1 million KHR to 16.1 million KHR per sqm.

The lowest price per sqm in Cambodia in 2026 is usually in Dangkor, Prek Pnov, Kambol, and outer Chbar Ampov, with an estimated range of about 2.8 million KHR to 4.8 million KHR per sqm.

How have property prices evolved in Cambodia?

Compared with one year ago, Cambodia housing prices in 2026 are down by about 4% in nominal terms, so a home worth $200,000 in 2025 would be closer to $192,000 in 2026.

This happened because Cambodia has too much condo and borey supply in some areas, while buyers have become more price-sensitive.

Compared with two years ago, Cambodia housing prices in 2026 are still softer, with many resale prices below the levels sellers hoped for in 2024.

The main reason is that the market has not fully recovered from oversupply, weaker speculative demand, and slower foreign-buyer activity.

By the way, we’ve written a blog article detailing the latest updates on property price variations in Cambodia.

Finally, if you want to know whether now is a good time to buy a property there, you can check our pack covering everything there is to know about the housing market in Cambodia.

How do prices vary by housing type in Cambodia in 2026?

In Cambodia in 2026, we estimate the active residential market is roughly 32% condominiums, 30% borey linked houses or townhouses, 15% older apartments or flats, 10% shophouses, 9% villas or twin villas, and 4% luxury villas or penthouses, because foreign buyers focus more on condos while local buyers are more active in landed homes.

Average prices in Cambodia in 2026 are about 463 million KHR, or $115,000, or €99,000 for condominiums; about 725 million KHR, or $180,000, or €155,000 for borey linked houses; and about 322 million KHR, or $80,000, or €69,000 for older apartments or flats.

For larger and more land-heavy homes, average prices in Cambodia in 2026 are about 1.01 billion KHR, or $250,000, or €216,000 for shophouses; about 2.21 billion KHR, or $550,000, or €474,000 for villas or twin villas; and about 4.83 billion KHR, or $1.2 million, or €1.03 million for luxury villas or penthouses.

How do property prices compare between existing and new homes in Cambodia in 2026?

In Cambodia in 2026, a new-build condo or borey home is usually about 15% more expensive than a similar existing home, with a common range of 10% to 25%.

This new-build premium exists because buyers pay for newer design, building amenities, easier documentation, developer financing, and lower immediate renovation needs.

How do property prices vary by neighborhood in Cambodia in 2026?

In BKK1, Cambodia property prices in 2026 are usually about 564 million KHR to 1.41 billion KHR, or $140,000 to $350,000, or €121,000 to €302,000, for prime condos, serviced apartments, and renovated flats.

BKK1 is expensive because it is central, walkable by Phnom Penh standards, and close to cafés, offices, restaurants, embassies, and international services.

In Tonle Bassac and central Chamkarmon, Cambodia property prices in 2026 are usually about 604 million KHR to 1.61 billion KHR, or $150,000 to $400,000, or €129,000 to €345,000, for high-end condos, river-adjacent apartments, and some villas.

Tonle Bassac is expensive because it has malls, embassies, central access, and a stronger luxury-condo pipeline.

In Russian Market and Toul Tom Poung, Cambodia property prices in 2026 are usually about 282 million KHR to 685 million KHR, or $70,000 to $170,000, or €60,000 to €147,000, for compact condos, renovated flats, and small houses.

Russian Market is popular because it is cheaper than BKK1 but still has a strong café, restaurant, and expat lifestyle scene.

How much more do you pay for properties in Cambodia when you include renovation work, taxes, and fees?

In Cambodia in 2026, buyers should usually add 6% to 12% to the purchase price for a clean new condo or borey purchase, and 15% to 35% for an older resale property that needs renovation.

If you buy a Cambodia property for about $200,000, or 805 million KHR, a simple purchase can add about $12,000 to $24,000, or 48 million to 97 million KHR.

That means the total cost can end up around $212,000 to $224,000, or 854 million to 902 million KHR, before any heavy renovation.

If you buy a Cambodia property for about $500,000, or 2.01 billion KHR, a clean purchase can add about $30,000 to $60,000, or 121 million to 242 million KHR.

That means the total cost can end up around $530,000 to $560,000, or 2.13 billion to 2.25 billion KHR, and more if the home needs serious work.

If you buy a Cambodia property for about $1 million, or 4.03 billion KHR, taxes, legal checks, registration, furnishing, and renovation can easily add $60,000 to $120,000, or 242 million to 483 million KHR for a clean deal.

For an older villa or land-heavy home, the extra budget can rise above $250,000, or about 1.01 billion KHR, because renovation work becomes a much bigger part of the total cost.

By the way, we keep updated a blog article detailing the property taxes and fees to factor in the total buying cost in Cambodia.

Meanwhile, here is a detailed table of the additional expenses you may have to pay when buying a new property in Cambodia

Extra cost	Type	Estimated cost range in Cambodia
Transfer tax / stamp duty	Tax	Usually up to 4% of the property value. In 2026, some first-home buyers and some developer purchases can qualify for relief, so the real amount depends on the property and the buyer profile.
Legal due diligence	Fees	About 4 million to 12 million KHR, or $1,000 to $3,000. This usually covers title checks, contract review, ownership checks, and basic buyer protection work.
Agent fee	Fees	Often paid by the seller in Cambodia, but buyers should always confirm this before signing. If the buyer pays, the fee can be around 1% to 3% of the purchase price.
Registration and admin handling	Fees	About 2 million to 8 million KHR, or $500 to $2,000. This can include paperwork, registration support, translations, and local administrative handling.
Basic furnishing	Furnishing	About 8 million to 40 million KHR, or $2,000 to $10,000. A small condo can stay near the low end, while a larger apartment or house can cost more.
Light renovation	Renovation	About 201,000 to 604,000 KHR per sqm, or $50 to $150 per sqm. This can include repainting, basic repairs, small bathroom updates, and simple kitchen improvements.
Heavy renovation	Renovation	About 806,000 to 2 million KHR per sqm, or $200 to $500 per sqm. This is more common for older villas, older flats, or homes with electrical, plumbing, or layout issues.
Contingency buffer	Risk buffer	About 3% to 8% of the purchase price. This is useful in Cambodia because paperwork, renovation needs, and negotiation details can change the final cost.
