Indonesia’s residential property market has seen a period of relative stability in recent years. While asking prices continue to rise nominally, inflation has eroded those gains, resulting in stagnant real estate prices. This article dives into the current state of Indonesia’s property market and explores historical price trends.
Recent Market Performance (2023)
According to Bank Indonesia, the composite-16 property price index in Indonesia grew by a mere 1.74% throughout 2023. This follows a similar pattern of slow growth observed in the preceding years (2% in 2022, 1.47% in 2021). When adjusted for inflation, however, property prices actually decreased by 0.92% in 2023. The latest quarter (Q4 2023) witnessed a meager 0.13% increase in nominal prices, translating to a 0.55% decline after inflation.
Long-Term Trends
Taking a broader perspective, Indonesia’s property market hasn’t shown significant movement over the past few years. From 2016 to 2023, prices have only increased by roughly 15.82%. This indicates a period of relative stability, with neither substantial growth nor decline.
Nominal vs. Inflation-Adjusted Prices
It’s crucial to distinguish between nominal and inflation-adjusted prices when analyzing property trends in Indonesia. Nominal prices represent the face value without considering inflation. While nominal prices might show increases, inflation can erode those gains, leading to stagnant or even declining real estate value.
What to Expect in the Future?
Predicting the future of any market is challenging. However, the current trend suggests a continuation of stability in Indonesia’s property market. Continued economic growth could potentially lead to a pick-up in demand and price increases. However, rising interest rates or unforeseen economic factors could dampen the market.

If you’re considering buying or selling property, it’s vital to conduct in-depth research on specific locations and property types. Consulting with a local real estate professional can also be extremely beneficial in navigating the Indonesian property market.
