Would a home purchase offset the need to show an account balance?
Answer summary
The consensus among commenters is that purchasing a home does not offset the need to show a sufficient bank account balance for visa requirements in Thailand. The bank balance is necessary to demonstrate financial stability and the ability to manage emergencies, regardless of property ownership.

Absolutely not. The purpose of the bank balance is to show that you have money for an emergency to take care of yourself, so you do not become a drain on the Thai government. Owning property does not make you more able to handle an emergency.
