So...we are about to become the latest victims of the real estate chaos here in Sihanoukville. I've explored the groups and haven't seen any recent posts regarding houses for rent. Am I screwed or is there hope? We've got a beautiful home right now --4 bedroom, 1 story. Huge space outside, grass, etc, for only $700 a month for the last two years. Landlord has renigged on his agreement on 2 more years as he desperately needs to sell it. Really frustrating. Oh well. Any guidance on potential properties would be appreciated!

Can't help, but all the best with finding the right place for you and your family. "Desperately needs to sell" = price he can't resist from buyers from a nearby country?

My friend, who charters his sailboat in snv, has had to move 2 x in the last year cause his landlords have sold their places
Do you need be in snv?
Seen lots of nice places Kampot for that price an less

You need four bedrooms? Or is it a nice have? Because they are going for $1200 a month now. If there's just you and your kid then a two bed would probably be ok but it'll be 3-400. You a member of the facebook groups for property here? If you are willing to pay for a four bed then if the Chinese guy doesn't come through I'll have a place for you. You could also try Kleang Ler as that's where we're migrating to, out of necessity really.

In-laws just let their 4 bedroom, Khmer style shopfront; below the brewery, in O Muay for $1800/ month...

I assume it comes with a Lexus and driver, and house staff, for that much.

Honestly you'd be better off moving your entire family and their extended family out of there, it would probably be cheaper.

This is a story I've heard so many times over the past couple of years from Sihanoukville. Unfortunate, and depressing as there's no reason to believe why it couldn't eventually happen everywhere else.

It won't happen anywhere else in Cambodia on the massive scale it's happening in Sihanoukville, the Chinese are basically colonizing it as one of their overseas posts for their international business,
other places don't have huge ports, so are of no interest to the Chinese, except Phnom Penh which is the capital which is of interest to them for being the center of gov't.

That's a pretty big exception there...
