Key points

  • Home price index up 0.69% year on year, from 0.62% a quarter earlier
  • Sales fell 2.36% after a 25.67% drop in Q1
  • 70.05% of buyers use KPR mortgages

Prices are rising slowly

According to the SHPR, BI's quarterly survey of primary-market residential prices, the IHPR price index rose 0.69% year on year in the second quarter of 2026. Growth was 0.62% in the first quarter.

BI itself describes the increase as limited.

Sales are recovering

Home sales fell 2.36% year on year. That is a marked improvement on the first quarter, when sales dropped 25.67%.

Sales of small and large homes improved. Demand for medium-sized homes remained subdued, according to the survey.

How building and buying are funded

Builders rely mostly on their own money. Internal company funds cover 73.28% of construction financing.

Buyers, by contrast, lean on banks. 70.05% of purchases use KPR (home loans). That is why BI's rate rise to 5.75% in June feeds directly into this market.

Builders' heavy reliance on their own funds means bank finance matters less for construction than for purchases. That softens the direct effect of rates on building, though not on demand.

BI raised its policy rate twice in June. Loan rates adjust with a lag, so the effect on mortgages may show up in later quarters.

What the survey covers

The SHPR polls residential developers in the primary market, meaning those selling new homes. The index tracks the prices at which they sell.

The survey splits housing into small, medium and large homes. It does not cover resales and gives no separate reading for resort property or villas rented to tourists.

What it means for investors

The BI survey tracks housing for Indonesian buyers, not the leasehold villa market for foreigners, so its numbers should not be applied to Ubud directly. The useful takeaway is that most local buyers depend on mortgages, and high rates keep domestic housing demand in check. If you buy without a loan, focus first on documents, zoning and the real rental yield of comparable properties.
