  • The ongoing political turmoil and a rapidly-rising third wave of COVID-19 cases severely impacted the Myanmar economy, which had already been weakened by the pandemic in 2020. Reduced mobility and incomes, protests, labor shortages, the ongoing disruption of critical business services, including logistics and telecommunications, and public services such as health and education have hit economic activity.
  • Apartments and land parcels are always available for purchase. Year over year, the price hikes are gradual. The 12.5 x 55-foot flat on the first level costs U. The cost has not changed. As a result, the investors can only earn minimally. With time, both the dollar value and the price of gold are skyrocketing. Based on their purchase price, the buyers may perceive the profits. Making money quickly for housing is challenging. Because of this, many do not choose to invest in the real estate industry.
  • With supposedly abolished epidemic restrictions, Myanmar is now again accessible to foreign investment. Unfortunately, no one was waiting to purchase real estate in Yangon, which was bad news for local developers and other stakeholders.

Residential Real Estate Myanmar Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Myanmar Residential Real Estate Market according to our research experts:

Growth of Urbanization Driving the Market

The ongoing effects of Covid-19, rising prices, and the political unrest in Myanmar devastated populations, forcing them to adapt and develop coping techniques. The typical pattern of migration from rural to urban areas, which significantly contributes to the nation's socioeconomic development, has been particularly interrupted. Serious repercussions for migrants and their families become apparent when the effect of this movement pattern is examined in further detail.

These crises have severely affected workers and businesses and immobilized the nation and its economy. There were problems with the supply chain, increased insecure employment, and the closing of numerous enterprises. According to ILO projections, Myanmar has 1.1 million fewer women and men working than it did in 2020.

A projected 19.3 million women and men were employed in the first half of 2022, a slight increase from the 18.6 million predicted for 2021. However, the proportion of employed working-age individuals was still significantly lower than before the military takeover. The ILO also claims that there is a substantial decline in work quality. For many workers, the working circumstances are precarious due to severe invasions.

Yangon Public Rental Housing Driving the Market

Yangon had immense potential to become a thriving model city for ASEAN cities. It was a metropolis with a vibrant social fabric, rising educational standards, a hospital environment favourable to business prosperity, a highly educated population, and local governments willing to undertake institutional change. The Ministry of Construction is undertaking public rental housing projects in Yangon, Mandalay, and Nay Pyi Taw, the highly populated cities, to better the socio-economic conditions of the people and generate work possibilities through the construction sector.

On a 174-acre site in Yangon, a project for a 3,104-unit public rental estate would be built, with four five-story structures housing 194 apartments each. The government put millions of kyats into the project, and they hope to recoup their investment by charging long-term rentals to the general people. When the project is finished, the renters will be able to rent a home in the housing estate at a reasonable rate. Each unit of the public rental housing will be 650 square feet wide. Each apartment contains two bedrooms, one living room, and one bathroom. The project area includes the market, school, clinic, playground, and park. Efforts are being made to lease some of the completed apartments in the project areas by the end of 2022. Now, the finished units are being installed with electricity and water supply facilities.
