Property Market Forecast: Recovery Anticipated in 2026

Despite ongoing economic slowdown, property market experts in Indonesia are optimistic about improvement in 2026. Charlie Lin, Director of World Property Insight, believes that increased government trust and reduced political uncertainty will allow the market to start recovering. In 2024, due to political instability, the market stagnated, and in 2025, the initial recovery phase began. The main development is expected in 2026, when investors who have been holding back their resources will start investing actively in real estate. Lin advises using 2026 for buying property while prices are still low, marking it as a phase for smart investments. According to him, 2027 will be a period when the market will once again experience a ‘boom’, providing a great opportunity for investors to take profits. These forecasts are based on current economic indicators and strategies proposed by leading companies. As new government trust grows, it is expected that investors will be more active in real estate development, ensuring its growth and progress. In 2027, experts believe the market will once again rise significantly, similar to a ‘boom’, making real estate investments particularly lucrative. Experts advise: ‘2026 is the time for investment, 2027 for profit-taking’.
