Why Buying Real Estate Is Still the Best Long-Term Investment (Even in Bali)

You probably see a lot of news talking about the housing market — things like, “Are prices going down?” or “Is now a bad time to buy?” We get it. All that talk can make you feel unsure. But here’s the truth we’ve seen again and again — real estate…

You probably see a lot of news talking about the housing market — things like, “Are prices going down?” or “Is now a bad time to buy?”

We get it. All that talk can make you feel unsure.

But here’s the truth we’ve seen again and again — real estate is still one of the best ways to grow your money. Not just here in Bali, but everywhere.

Real Estate Wins Again (12 Years in a Row)

A new report from Gallup just came out. And for the 12th year in a row, people say real estate is the #1 best long-term investment — even better than stocks, gold, or bonds.

Even when the stock market had a rough time recently, real estate stayed strong. Why? Because property usually grows in value slowly but surely. That’s what makes it so powerful.

In Bali, Property Still Goes Up

Yes, Bali is changing. Prices in some areas might slow down for a while. But if you’re buying for the long-term — not just for the next 6 months — then you’re in a good spot.

Bali property has grown a lot in the past 10–15 years. And with more tourists, expats, and digital nomads coming in, demand stays strong. That means your investment has good potential to grow over time.

A Home Is More Than a Place To Live

Owning a home or villa here in Bali isn’t just about lifestyle. It’s also about building long-term wealth.

As one expert says, “A home is often a family’s most valuable asset.” We agree. Especially in Bali, where you can enjoy your home and rent it out for income if you want.

Bottom Line

Don’t let all the scary headlines make you stop your dream. If you plan to stay in Bali, or you’re looking for a good investment, real estate is still a smart move.
