Short answer: Canggu is Bali's deepest and most reliable property market, with median asking prices around $393,000 and median sold prices around $351,000 in mid-2026. It is where you buy demand-certainty rather than a bargain entry price. Villas here sell faster than anywhere else on the island, in about 258 days on average, because the rental tenant pipeline, driven by digital nomads and long-stay visitors, is the strongest in Bali. The trade-off is maturity: the explosive appreciation phase is behind Canggu, so you are buying dependable occupancy and liquidity, not a ground-floor price.
The numbers below come from our own market intelligence, drawing on 70,000+ tracked Bali records, updated July 2026. They are market estimates, not guarantees, and the right buy depends as much on your goal as on the headline figure.
Canggu carries the most listings and still sells the quickest, which is the clearest sign of a genuinely liquid market. That matters twice over: it means a strong tenant pipeline while you own, and a realistic exit when you sell. The roughly 11% average gap between asking and sold prices tells you sellers here start high and settle, so a well-briefed buyer negotiates rather than paying the sticker. You are not going to find a hidden discount in Canggu, but you are buying the one thing every rental investor actually needs, which is reliable demand.
Across the whole tracked market, nightly-let villas average roughly 13% gross, and after real operating costs, management, platform fees, utilities, staff and tax, which typically absorb 40 to 50% of revenue, a well-run villa nets in the region of 6 to 8%. Anyone promising a guaranteed 15 to 20% net is selling, not advising. Canggu's edge is not a higher headline yield, it is the lowest vacancy risk behind that yield. A long-term rental strategy (30-day-plus tenants) trades a little headline yield for near-zero marketing vacancy and far lighter management. Our full breakdown sits in our guide on the best areas to invest in Bali.
Around 85% of Bali transactions are leasehold, and the median remaining term on Canggu stock is about 25 years. That works out to roughly $13,000 per year of tenure at current medians. Factor the years remaining into both what you pay now and what you can resell at later, because a buyer down the line does the same maths on you.
Canggu fits the investor who wants dependable rental income and a market they can exit without waiting years. It suits first-time Bali buyers who value liquidity and a proven tenant base over chasing the next up-and-coming area. If your priority is a cheaper entry with more upside, Uluwatu is worth a look; if it is a quieter, wellness-led hold, Ubud. For a straight rental engine, Canggu is the safe core.
Foreigners buy in Canggu through leasehold, Hak Pakai, or a PT PMA company, never through a nominee arrangement. Which route fits depends on whether this is a lifestyle home or an investment. See our guides on how foreigners buy property in Bali and leasehold vs freehold. The binding legal work always goes through a licensed notaris, which is exactly how it should be.
Tell us your budget and what you want the property to do, and we will run the real numbers on any specific Canggu villa, gross rent, every cost line, and the true net, then point you to what actually fits.

Median asking prices sit around $393,000 in mid-2026, with median sold prices around $351,000. Simpler or smaller villas fall below that, and beachfront or larger luxury homes climb well above it. The right number for any specific villa is the one on its listing.
Yes, if your priority is dependable rental demand and liquidity. Canggu has the deepest tenant pipeline and the fastest average sale on the island. It is not the cheapest entry and the fastest-appreciation phase has passed, so you are buying reliability, not a bargain.
Across the tracked market, nightly-let villas average roughly 13% gross and typically net 6 to 8% after operating costs. Canggu's strength is low vacancy behind that yield rather than a higher headline number. Treat any guaranteed 15 to 20% claim with suspicion.
Yes, through leasehold, Hak Pakai, or a PT PMA company, all legal and secure when set up properly by a notaris. Freehold in your own name and nominee arrangements are not options.
Around 258 days on average, the quickest of Bali's major areas, with about 46% of listings selling within a year. Realistic pricing sells; wishful pricing sits.
