Ubud villa supply: over half of listings appeared since March 2026

Published: 3 min read
Key takeaways
  • 55% of villas for sale in Ubud at the end of September 2026 were listed after March 2026. Across Bali the figure is 29%; in Canggu, 23%; in Uluwatu, 41%.
  • New Ubud listings are cheaper: a median of $267,000 versus $354,000 for older ones; Lease-Year Price $10,890 versus $13,080.
  • Ubud has become a buyer's market: more choice and easier negotiation. Choose by Lease-Year Price, documents and rental track record rather than renders.

Ubud was long seen as an area with limited supply: rice fields, building restrictions, little land for villas. Listings at the end of September 2026 tell a different story: supply has grown noticeably in six months.

How many new listings

Of the 205 villas for sale in Ubud, 112 were listed after March 2026, or 55%. Other areas for comparison:

AreaListings nowListed since March 2026
Ubud20555%
Uluwatu32841%
Ungasan28028%
Canggu55723%
Pererenan25520%
All Bali2,50229%

One caveat: we only see villas that are on sale now. Some older listings have been removed because they sold or the seller withdrew them, so the share of new listings overstates growth. But the gap with other areas is too large to be explained by that alone.

New listings are cheaper

Ubud, leaseholdListed since March 2026Listed earlier
Median price$267,000$354,000
Lease-Year Price$10,890$13,080

New supply has more one- and two-bedroom villas and more off-plan projects. That puts pressure on prices across the area: sellers of older villas now compete with cheaper, newer stock.

What it means for buyers

  • More choice and room to negotiate. In a buyer's market the asking price is where the conversation starts.
  • More projects without a track record. Part of the new supply comes from developers' first projects. Check the documents and the team's history.
  • Compare by Lease-Year Price. As supply grows, villas with long leases and proven yields win. The median for two-bedroom villas in Ubud is $9,270 per lease year.
  • Look at rental performance, not renders. With more villas, occupancy goes to those with stronger management and reviews.
