Indonesia’s Real Estate Market in April 2025: What’s Going On?

📉 Sector dropped 3.7% this week | 📊 Earnings expected to shrink by 9.2% per year

What’s Happening in Indonesia’s Property Market Right Now?

The Indonesian real estate sector took a hit this week. The IDX Real Estate Index dropped 3.7%, mainly due to a steep 9.2% fall from Bangun Kosambi Sukses (CBDK). On the flip side, Ciputra Development (CTRA) gained 6.0%, showing there’s still movement in the right direction for some players.

 

Ciputra Development (CTRA) stocks

Looking at the Bigger Picture

  • Last 3 months: -7.0%
  • Last 12 months: -5.0%
  • Year-to-date (2025): -8.6%

Are These Properties Still Worth Investing In?

Price to Earnings (PE Ratio)

The sector’s PE ratio is 6.7x, way lower than the 3-year average of 17.9x. That could mean the market sees lower future profits coming.

Price to Sales (PS Ratio)

Still steady at around 2.5x, the PS ratio suggests investors believe sales are stable—even if earnings may dip.

Past Growth Was Strong

  • +90% annual earnings growth (last 3 years)
  • +8.7% revenue growth (same period)

That growth is slowing now, but it shows the sector had serious momentum.

What’s Coming Next?

Analysts expect earnings to drop 9.2% annually over the next few years. That’s a big reversal from previous growth—and why some investors are backing off.

What’s Pulling the Market Down?

Bangun Kosambi Sukses (CBDK) was the week’s biggest loser. It dropped 9.2% despite no major news—likely investor jitters ahead of their upcoming AGM.

What Does This Mean for You?

  • Past growth was strong, but investor confidence is fading.
  • Some companies still look undervalued.
  • For serious investors, now could be a chance to buy low—just be cautious and do your homework.
