Balinsky is an independent Bali property data site for foreign buyers. We collect listings from dozens of developers and put each one next to the numbers you need to judge it: price per m² against the district, what similar homes nearby earn as rentals, how many years are left on the lease and what permit status the developer reports. The developer is named on every page — you deal with them directly, not with us.
The numbers today
These figures update automatically — what you see on the site is exactly what is published in the database right now.
Where a developer gives us PBG/SLF numbers, the land title type (SHM/HGB/Hak Pakai) and lease terms, we show them on the listing. We do not certify them legally: before you pay, have a PPAT notary or a lawyer check the certificate and permits against the official registers.
Numbers from data, method in the open
Price comparisons use our catalogue; rental rates come from thousands of Bali holiday rentals we track (source: estatemarket.io). Every figure shows its sample size, and anything based on fewer than 30 listings is marked as indicative. The full method is on the “How we calculate” page.
Video from the site
For many projects we film the site ourselves — drone, construction progress, surroundings — so you see its state on a known date, not a render.
Corrections
Found an error in a price, a date or a permit status? Message the bot: we fix confirmed errors and show the date of the update.
What you get
Live USD pricing
Prices recompute against the current rate; the currency switcher is in the header. The comparison view recalculates automatically as you switch.
How a purchase works
Deal stages, ownership structures, real costs and the traps are laid out on the “How to buy” and “Reservation” pages. That is reference material, not a service we sell: the transaction happens between you and the developer.
The developer’s direct contacts
Every project on the site names the developer’s own manager, with photo, spoken languages, Telegram and WhatsApp. The conversation runs straight to them — Balinsky is not part of it and does not moderate it.
Compare and shortlist
Any listing saves to your shortlist; villas and apartments compare on 14 investor-grade parameters in one table.
What role Balinsky plays
The platform only publishes
We gather listings, film sites and calculate market figures. Publishing is where our role ends: from there you talk to the developer or owner directly, with no one in between.
What Balinsky is not
We are not a real-estate agency or a broker. We do not sell properties, do not negotiate, take no commission, accept no deposits, neither draft nor certify contracts, arrange no viewings or trips, and provide no legal, notarial, tax or visa services. All of that is done by the parties themselves and the professionals they engage — the developer or owner, a PPAT notary, a lawyer.
Buyer stories
We collect stories of completed purchases — what people were looking for, how they searched, where the SPA landed, what came of it and the actual yield today. Every story is anonymised: no names or addresses, but with real numbers. The section grows as readers agree to share. If you have bought property in Bali and are willing to tell your story, message the bot — it usually takes a 20-minute call.
For anything about the site itself — the catalogue, a particular listing, an error in the data — message the bot on Telegram. If Telegram is inconvenient, the email is in the footer. About a specific property, write to the developer directly: their contacts are on the listing.
