- The average housing price in Siem Reap in 2026 is closer to KHR 1.07 billion, or $265,000, because large villas lift the average above the normal buyer budget.

- Listing prices in Siem Reap are usually around 8% to 12% higher than realistic closing prices, especially for older villas and outer landed homes.
- Small central condos in Siem Reap can look expensive per square metre because condo supply is very limited and foreign buyers often prefer easier ownership structures.

Are Siem Reap property listing prices close to the actual sale price in 2026?
In Siem Reap in 2026, listed residential prices are usually about 8% to 12% above final sale prices, with 10% as a practical working estimate.
This gap exists because Siem Reap is still a buyer’s market, tourism demand is selective, and many sellers test the market with high asking prices. The discount is usually largest for outer borey homes, older villas, and large properties that need cash buyers.

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

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 Siem Reap
| Extra cost | Type | Estimated cost in Siem Reap |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer tax or stamp duty | Tax | Usually around 4% of the assessed value. For a simple budget, many buyers use 3% to 4% of the purchase price. On a $200,000 home, this means about KHR 24 million to KHR 32 million, or $6,000 to $8,000. |
| Legal due diligence | Fee | Often around KHR 4 million to KHR 16 million, or $1,000 to $4,000. This covers title checks, contract review, and risk checks before payment. It is especially important for older homes and land-heavy properties. |
| Title and registration support | Fee | Often around KHR 2 million to KHR 12 million, or $500 to $3,000. The cost depends on the title situation and the level of admin support needed. Older properties may need more work. |
| Agent commission | Fee | Often paid by the seller, but a buyer should still check the arrangement. If the buyer pays part of the commission, the budget can be 0% to 3% of the purchase price. On a $200,000 home, that can be up to KHR 24 million, or $6,000. |
| Light renovation | Renovation | Usually around KHR 400,000 to KHR 800,000 per square metre, or $100 to $200 per square metre. This can cover paint, basic repairs, lighting, and small bathroom or kitchen updates. It is common for older Siem Reap houses. |
| Full renovation | Renovation | Usually around KHR 1.0 million to KHR 2.4 million per square metre, or $250 to $600 per square metre. This can include bathrooms, kitchens, floors, wiring, plumbing, and air conditioning. Villas can quickly become expensive. |
| Furnishing package | Furnishing | Usually around KHR 20 million to KHR 80 million, or $5,000 to $20,000. A small home can sit at the low end. A villa prepared for rental or expat living can easily sit near the high end. |
| Pool and garden upgrade | Renovation | Usually around KHR 40 million to KHR 200 million, or $10,000 to $50,000. This depends on pool condition, garden size, drainage, and outdoor lighting. It matters a lot for Siem Reap villas. |

What sources have we used to write this blog article?
Whether it’s in our blog articles or the market analyses included in our property pack about Siem Reap, we always rely on the strongest methodology we can and we don’t throw out numbers at random.
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 used | Why we trust it | How we used it |
|---|---|---|
| National Bank of Cambodia daily exchange rates | It is Cambodia’s central bank, so it is the strongest source for official Cambodian riel exchange rates. | We used the 10 June 2026 exchange rate to convert US dollar prices into Cambodian riel and euros. We used 1 USD equals KHR 4,027 and 1 EUR equals KHR 4,669.5. |
| Knight Frank Cambodia Real Estate Highlights H1 2025 | Knight Frank is a major property consultancy and gives project-level data for Siem Reap supply and prices. | We used its Siem Reap project supply, landed housing price range, and condo price range. We treated it as the anchor for formal residential projects. |
| Realestate.com.kh Siem Reap residential listings | It is one of Cambodia’s largest property portals and shows what buyers actually see in live listings. | We used it to estimate the visible median asking price in Siem Reap. We then adjusted the figure because asking prices are not always closing prices. |
| Realestate.com.kh Siem Reap house listings | It gives a large sample of landed homes, which is the most important property type in Siem Reap. | We used the house listings to cross-check the normal house and townhouse price ranges. We gave this source strong weight because Siem Reap is mostly a landed-home market. |
| Realestate.com.kh Siem Reap condo listings | It shows live condo and apartment prices in a city where condo supply remains limited. | We used it to estimate entry and median condo prices in Siem Reap. We compared those prices with Knight Frank’s condo project data. |
| IPS Cambodia Siem Reap sale listings | IPS Cambodia is an established local agency with detailed Siem Reap property examples. | We used IPS Cambodia to check real examples by property type, size, and neighborhood. We used it especially for villas and older homes because they are less standardized. |
| Knight Frank Cambodia property tax guide | It explains Cambodia property taxes in clear terms from a professional real estate firm. | We used it for the transfer tax assumption and buyer-cost estimates. We then applied a conservative range because actual costs depend on the title and deal structure. |
| IMF Cambodia RPPI technical assistance report | The IMF reviewed Cambodia’s residential property price index methodology, so it helps explain the limits of national price data. | We used it to be cautious with national RPPI data. We did not apply national trends directly to Siem Reap without local checks. |
| Global Property Guide Cambodia residential price history | It summarizes Cambodia’s residential price history and cites the National Bank of Cambodia RPPI. | We used it to cross-check the national one-year direction of residential prices. We treated it as a macro signal, not a direct Siem Reap price source. |
| Angkor Enterprise | It is the official institution responsible for Angkor ticketing and visitor monitoring. | We used it as the official tourism-demand source for Siem Reap’s main economic driver. We used tourism data only to explain demand, not to set property prices. |
| Cambodianess report citing Angkor Enterprise | It is a Cambodia news source that directly cites Angkor Enterprise figures for Q1 2026 ticket sales. | We used it to explain why buyer demand in Siem Reap remained soft in early 2026. We connected this to negotiation pressure in tourism-linked areas. |
| Knight Frank Cambodia Rose Apple Square Siem Reap profile | It is a professional project profile for a Siem Reap condo, which is useful because condo supply is limited. | We used it as a check on central condo pricing and product quality. We did not use one project alone to set the whole Siem Reap market. |
