Selling rural property

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Rode around the neighborhood and look for signs of land for sale or even just ask around. It's quite hard to establish a real market price here, as people put properties for sale at all sorts of ridiculous prices. The cheapest or near cheapest you see is usually the actual going price when it comes to land that actually sells. The rest is people "fishing". So go around and average it out. You might see stuff from say, for example, 30-90$/sqm, then 30-40 is likely the sellable price (taking other things into account of course: road quality/size, location etc).

As for finding a buyer, you can advertise with a sign, but if it's a booming area a real estate agent will likely steal it, or most of the callers will be real estate agents.

If you think the plot is excellent and it's something you really want then don't degrade yourself with bartering and pay whatever they ask for - in reason. There's good reason for this. By doing so you inflate all the local land values once word gets out what the land went for.
