We collects hundreds of property database

As you can see in the graph below based on our own properties data, just in the last 3 years alone have seen significant changes in the rental property market here in Bali.

A brief update in the last few years

From 2009–2019, the property market in Bali was experiencing a period of strong growth, driven by an increase in tourism and foreign investment. The island’s popularity as a tourist destination, combined with its tropical climate and beautiful beaches, had made it a desirable location for both vacation homes and long-term investments. Property prices were on the rise, particularly in popular areas such as Seminyak, Canggu, and Ubud.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in late 2019, had a significant impact on the island’s tourism industry and property market. The travel restrictions and lockdowns implemented to control the spread of the virus led to a decrease in property prices and a slowdown in the market. Many property developers and investors were hesitant to proceed with their plans, and some even had to put their projects on hold.

In 2020, the property market in Bali continued to be affected by the pandemic, with a decline in property transactions and a decrease in property prices. However, as the pandemic began to be controlled in some countries and travel restrictions were lifted, a rebound in the property market began to occur. Many buyers, particularly from Asia, began to return to the market, drawn by the relatively affordable prices and the island’s reputation as a safe and stable destination for property investment.

In 2021, the property market in Bali continued to recover, with a significant increase in property transactions and a stabilization of property prices. The island’s tourism industry also began to recover, with an increase in the number of visitors. The property market in Bali has continued to grow, driven by the island’s popularity as a tourist destination, the relatively low prices compared to other popular tourist destinations, and the increasing number of foreign investors looking to purchase properties on the island.

As of 2022, the Bali property market has seen tremendous growth, with many investors seeing the potential of the island’s property market. However, concerns about overdevelopment and a lack of infrastructure to support the growing number of tourists still persist. The island’s property market is also affected by the global economic situation, and it’s expected that the market will continue to be affected by the pandemic in the short term. Nevertheless, the long-term outlook for Bali’s property market remains positive, driven by the island’s popularity as a tourist destination and the increasing number of foreign investors looking to purchase properties on the island.

So what’s next for 2023 Bali Property market

It’s difficult to predict exactly how the Bali property market will look in 2023 as it can be affected by factors such as the fear of global recession, and the political situation of travel restrictions around the world. However, based on current trends and projections, the Bali property market is expected to continue its growth in the coming year.

The island’s popularity as a tourist destination, combined with its tropical climate and beautiful beaches, is expected to continue driving the property market in Bali. With the increasing number of tourists visiting the island, the demand for vacation rentals is likely to remain high, particularly in popular tourist areas such as Seminyak, Canggu, and Ubud.

The increasing number of foreign investors looking to purchase properties on the island is also expected to continue driving the property market. Many of these investors are from Asia, particularly China and Singapore, who are drawn to Bali’s tropical climate and the island’s reputation as a safe and stable destination for property investment. This will likely lead to an increase in property prices in the coming year, particularly in popular areas such as Seminyak, Canggu, and Ubud.

Another factor that could impact the Bali property market in 2023 is the recent changes in Indonesian property law, which allows for more relaxed laws regarding foreign ownership of property. This is expected to attract more foreign investors to the island, further driving the property market.

Bali property market Area set for growth

As more visitors inhabit Bali again, areas such asSeminyak, Canggu, Ubud, and Nusa Dua are considered to be the best places for property investment in Bali for the upcoming years. Each area has its own unique characteristics and offers different opportunities for property investment, making it important to research and understand which area suits your investment needs and goals the best.

But no need to worry, we have 10+ years of experience in the rental property market in Bali and managing properties in this island.

As fall approaches, the last breathe of summer fades and we settle in for four months of chilly California weather. Our nostalgia for the summer beckons us to the northern California coastline, where Eka & I discover original adventures in the seaside hamlets of Carmel, the marine mecca of Santa Cruz and the quiet majesty of the Monterey peninsula.

Our car trip begins with renting a Turo & careening up the Santa Cruz mountains on a Friday night. I watch the power to the vehicle oscillate between gas & electricity in the hybrid vehicle as we summit the peaks from San Jose and then glide down to the beach town.

Santa Cruz oddly reminds us a little bit of Uluwatu, but with a much earlier bedtime. We park under a tree and tuck in the for the night under a few blankets. The first thing we discover in the morning are fuzzy new visitors on top of the car. Caterpillars, dozens of them. All fuzzy, the kind that makes my wife, who is never bothered by any type of bug, squirm.

We drive along the coastline and discover the Seymour Marine research center at UCSC. It’s a handsome academic facility of low rise buildings where researchers study the Pacific ocean and all the wonders within it.

I’ve lived near the seas for most of my 20’s and my entire 30’s. The ambition to discover & understand what is in the ocean, our planet’s inner space, is intellectually romantic to me. In Bali, we just set a few offerings to the ocean, ask it never to send any tsunamis our way and that’s the boundary of our curiosity with the sea. We snap some photos by a gigantic blue whale skeleton, peek into the lab’s sea inlet pipes and move to our next adventure.

The drive takes us in and out of the coastal fog creeping out of the Monterey bay and washing over the low country & tapestried sand dunes of California. This is a rich agricultural region, detailed in Steinbeck’s novels, and the abundance is intoxicating. We make one of our most joyous discoveries. It goes back to one of Eka’s childhood memories. She’s just learned to walk and Wayan Ariani and I bring her to Bedugul, up in the Bali highlands to pick strawberries. One of the happiest memories in her early childhood.

This time, as we’re driving past these fields with low, green bushes spilling out of the brown earth, we spot them again. Strawberries. As far as the eye can see in every direction. I stop the car and we investigate. We come upon a large migrant labor force, using miniature wheel barrows to load crates of freshly picked strawberries into plastic boxes and hustle them unto a flatbed truck. I converse with the foreman in Spanish and he tells me the workers are paid $1.70 to pick about 16 lbs of strawberries. Eka joins the workers and they reward her enthusiastic work with a box of freshly picked strawberries.

We finish our drive on Del Monte Beach, where we rent kayaks and paddle out into the chilly waters of Monterey bay. For the next hours, we paddle in & out of the sea kelp, spotting sea otters & seals. The day finishes with an old tradition from when my father used to bring me to Monterey. Still dripping from our wet clothing, we dive into the market behind the Aquarium to indulge in hot clam chowder & sourdough bread.

Nusa Dua, Sanur and Ubud were opened as Pilot Project to gradually open up Bali tourism. This is to see the readiness of the industry and the guarantee of the best service as well as the CHSE certification for tourist attractions.

Here’s why pilot project for three destinations above that inspires us at Bukit Vista:

The Ministry of Tourism together with the Regency and City Tourism Offices in Bali as well as several tourism actors unite their perceptions and commitments ahead of the opening of Bali tourism. Deputy for Strategic Policy at the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenkraf), Kurleni Umar, revealed that the opening of Bali tourism will be carried out in stages.
“The opening is carried out in stages, with Nusa Dua, Sanur and Ubud as the pilot projects,” said Umar when presenting the pre-conditions for the reopening of Bali Tourism, Taman Nusa, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Wednesday (7/4).
According to him, tourism will be opened if there is a low risk of transmission. This can be realized by vaccination to achieve herd immunity, especially in priority zones, as well as industry readiness to guarantee excellent service and consistency in implementing health protocols or with CSHE certification.
He said there were several parameters that had to be met, such as a reduction in the rate of new cases and a decrease in the population contracting Covid-19. In addition, the readiness of an adequate health and safety system is a parameter to open Bali. He also asked for the realization of a safe transportation system.”I want someone to be responsible for transportation, which means ensuring an integrated transportation system with a safe zone. The point here is to ensure tourists visit the green zone,” he added.

Meanwhile, Head of the Bali Tourism Office Putu Astawa also emphasized that travel agencies should invite tourists to visit the green zone.
“Travel agencies must ensure tourists visit the green zone. Travel agencies must also arrange tour packages according to the governor’s direction,” said Astawa. Of course, with the integration of various elements of tourists who come healthy as well as when they return home healthy.

Astawa said, the travel bubble that would be opened later was tourists from China, UAE, Singapore and Korea. He hopes that the governance of tourism development must be carried out in a patterned, comprehensive, planned, directed and integrated manner in one area to realize a better life for the Balinese people. “He made Ubud a pilot project for the opening of tourism considering the history of Bali tourism which started from Ubud, and expanded to Sanur and Nusa Dua,” he said.

Meanwhile, Deputy Regent of Gianyar Anak Agung Gde Mayun explained that the vaccination system in Gianyar which was used as a pilot revealed that vaccination in Gianyar was banjar-based.”Why the banjar? Because in Bali in particular, many programs have been successfully carried out based on the banjar. In addition, by utilizing the kelian banjar to collect data on the community itself or the workers in the banjar area, at the same time mobilizing to come implement vaccines,” he said. Agung Mayun.He added, in Gianyar there are 33 vaccine teams where each team can administer vaccines to 150 to 250 people per day. So if you are given 30,000 vaccines it will be enough in 5 days.

Based on the Traveloka survey, the public’s interest in traveling on tourism is quite high. Based on an internal survey of Traveloka users, 35% of respondents are interested in going on vacation in early 2021. Of course, this is supported by changes in people’s interests and behavior, especially in tourism, which are increasingly taking shape. Such as the high interest in nature tourism, the application of high standard health protocols, to the flexibility of user bookings in travel planning.

And here are the top 3 travel destinations in Indonesia that inspires us at Bukit Vista:

Jakarta

Positioned in third place with an average search percentage reaching 30% Jakarta has become one of the most sought-after destinations in Indonesia earlier this year. Not only is it famous as one of the most populous cities, Jakarta also has its own charm that makes it one of the most attractive capitals in Southeast Asia.

Not only for staycations and trips, Jakarta, which is the center of business and economic activities in Indonesia, makes it also a busy destination for business tourists from within and outside the country. By visiting Jakarta, you can enjoy the sensation of international flavors in classy restaurants to delicious and economical snacks.

Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta

If at the end of 2020 the Special Region of Yogyakarta was ranked 4th with an average search percentage of 7%, in early 2021 the most sought-after holiday destination in Indonesia shot to 2nd place with an average search percentage reaching 37%.

Apart from being famous as a student city “Kota Pelajar”, Yogyakarta is also a popular tourist city in Indonesia. As the singer said “Ku percaya selalu ada sesuatu di Jogja”, the tourist attraction in Yogyakarta is very diverse, ranging from culinary tours, cultural tours, historical tours, to natural attractions that offer exotic views. This city is also the “home” of Indonesian artists. Visiting various art galleries in Jogja can be an inspiration for your next tourist destination.

Bali

It is no secret that Bali, which is known as the island of the Gods, is famous as the most popular travel destination in Indonesia. Not only for domestic tourists, but the beauty of Bali tourism itself has also been famous among foreign tourists. This can be seen from the average percentage of the search for topics related to travel about Bali which reached 83% in November and December.

As the most popular tourist destination in Indonesia, Bali again dominates an average search rate of 52%, surpassing various other tourist destinations in Indonesia. The most popular searches range from accommodation options such as hotels, villas, resorts, to homestays in the areas of Kuta, Seminyak, Nusa Dua, Canggu, Ungasan and Ubud, followed by flight options, recreational and culinary activities. Bali is also chosen as a workation destination with many options to work from hotels and villas, as well as several co-working spaces in the Canggu area.

Bali, the resort island widely known to international visitors, is being hoped to recover soon. The Indonesian Government aims to do mass vaccination to the tourism sector’s workers.

Here’s the mass vaccination campaign launched in Bali that inspires us at Bukit Vista:

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has launched a mass vaccination campaign in Bali amid hopes the resort island can reopen to foreign visitors soon.

Bali has designated three popular tourist districts — Ubud, Gianyar and Nusa Dua — as Covid-19 green zones in the first step towards reopening the island to the outside world.

“We hope that these three green zones can be fully opened to tourists so that they will feel comfortable about staying in Bali,” Joko said in a video released by his office on Tuesday.

“We hope that this will be the start of the revival of Bali’s tourism sector.”
Bali aims to vaccinate 150,000 people working in the tourism sector in the first phase of the inoculation campaign, Bali Governor Wayan Koster said last week.

Bali reopened to domestic visitors in July, but plans to allow foreign tourists back in September were shelved following a spike in coronavirus cases.

No new date has been set for reopening to foreign visitors, but Koster said he hoped it could be as early as August.

Indonesia has so far vaccinated nearly 4.1 million people, using the vaccine produced by China’s Sinovac Biotech.

The country’s food and drug agency said on Monday that it had decided to delay using the vaccine developed by pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca amid concerns in Europe that it may be linked to blood clots.

Indonesia plans to achieve herd immunity by vaccinating 185 million of its 270 million residents within 15 months.

The world’s fourth most populous country has reported more than 1.4 million Covid-19 cases and 38,573 deaths.

Waterproofing is a procedure that can make an object or media resistant or impermeable to water.

The purpose of using waterproofing is nothing more than protecting and maintaining the resilience of building structures. Usually, this building protection is installed in certain parts such as the basement (underground), roof, and other wet areas.

It is important to choose the right type of waterproofing considering that leakage of houses and buildings is a very serious problem and affects the cost of repairs that can be high. Generally, leaks occur in the following areas:

• Basement (underground)
• Roof Deck (not concrete)
• Ground Water Tank (groundwater tank)
• Swimming pool
• Construction joint

If the use of waterproofing has been carried out but leaks still occur, this failure can be caused by several things, including:

• The choice of waterproofing is not quite right
• Incorrect job execution
• The applicator is inexperienced or careless
• The quality of the waterproofing is not good

Waterproofing has types that can protect an area so that water does not enter it. When viewed from the system, here’s 5 types of waterproofing that inspires us at Bukit Vista:

1. Waterproofing Coating

The coating system or coating is a water-based protection system. The shape and form resemble paint but are thicker and chewier. Besides that, the usage is almost the same, namely using a brush. The fields that use this system most often are water storage tanks, concrete gutters, roofs, sidewalls, and galvalume.

There are times when this one system is also made from cement. In use, it is necessary to mix cement with a liquid solution. After the two are well blended, they can be applied directly to the leaking area.

2. Waterproofing Membrane

This waterproofing takes the form of sheets or rolls. Based on the material of manufacture, it can be divided into two, namely made from fiber and polyester. The membrane work method is relatively more complicated, namely by heating, burning/torching, and laminating it with glue.

There are three types of textures on the waterproofing membrane, namely those with smooth surfaces, sand-coated and stone-coated. In using this type of waterproofing it is necessary to be careful because if it is a little wrong, the risk of leakage will still occur. Usually, the use of waterproofing is used for concrete structures or roofs.

3. Waterproofing Flashband Self Adhesive

This is the type that can be used as protection for a building with a falshband or sheet. Generally, the sheet is not only coated with one layer but twice. One acts as an adhesive and the second acts as a leak barrier so that water cannot enter and seep through.

The materials used in this type of waterproofing flashband self-adhesive are made of the polyester membrane and aluminum foil or cover paint. Especially aluminum foil is a material that functions as a leak barrier. Meanwhile, the polyester material functions as an adhesive. This system is intended for floors, roofs, concrete gutters, and so on.

4. Waterproofing Integral

Integral waterproofing is a type of product that is generally mixed with concrete before it is cast so that it can be said to be part of the concrete mixture. With this system, basements, water reservoirs, swimming pools, and others will be more plastic, waterproof, less prone to cracking, and harder with up to 30% water savings.

5. Waterproofing Crystallising

The last waterproofing is applied to concrete surfaces either with a positive or negative system or mixed into concrete that has not been cast so that the concrete floors and walls become watertight. The active components in this waterproofing will enter and seep into the pores of the concrete, the reaction results change into crystals permanently so that the concrete cannot be penetrated by water.

The existence of this waterproofing is very suitable for use for concrete floors and walls with high water pressure, for example, basements, tunnels, ground tanks, reservoirs, and so on.
