Industrial and logistics leads the Philippine property market forward.
by: Cheyenne Hollis is Editor-in-Chief at Dot Property Group and Thailand Property.
First Philippine Industrial Park is one of many innovative industrial properties in the Philippines.
While the COVID-19 pandemic slowed many real estate sectors in the Philippines, demand for industrial and logistics space actually increased. Several experts believe the sector will remain a bright spot for the country’s property market in the coming months and possibly years.
This was one of the key takeaways from The Future of Logistics: Moving Beyond the Pandemic panel discussion organized by Santos Knight Frank.
“During the ECQ period, demand for industrial and logistics space rose for essential goods. In the following months, we expect demand to be more stable compared to the other real estate sectors. This demand is encouraged by the shift to e-commerce and the subsequent effects on demand for logistics, cold chain, warehouse, and other industrial services,” Kash Salvador, Santos Knight Frank Associate Director of Investment & Capital Markets, stated.
Health and wellness now, manufacturing in the future.
According to William B. Chiongbian II, Group President & CEO of Fast Logistics Group, the Philippine logistics industry is in a prime position to support growing demand for health and wellness products.
“The quality of food will matter, and health and wellness will start to take a front seat in a developing country like the Philippines. With the right recipes from entrepreneurs, local government, and delivery enhanced by information technology, the industrial real estate infrastructure will be in the right place,” Chiongbian said.
Looking ahead, the Philippines could become a manufacturing destination in Asia as long as the industrial sector receives the proper support.
“With the right real estate infrastructure and support from the government, we’ve got to act together within the industrial sector that the Philippines is still one of the best manufacturing destinations. We need to work together to enhance what this country has to offer,” Chito Zaldarriaga, President of the Philippine Ecozone Association (Philea), explained during the discussion.
Industrial sector outlook remains positive overall.
The industrial sector is expected to remain resilient moving forward. Howver it is important for those in the sector to rethink strategies in order to best take advantage of new opportunities that arose from the COVID-19 crisis.
“The industrial sector is all about the basics: basic space, food security, storage, and all the things you need in a crisis. This crisis is a realization that people are always going to need the industrial and logistics sector, and there is huge opportunity here,” Rick Santos, Chairman & CEO of Santos Knight Frank, noted.

Cebu is still the best place for Real Estate Investment.
June 13, 2022 Uncategorized Comments are off for this post.
For the longest time, Metro Manila has been the most prized location for real estate investments. Even a small, studio-type condo in Taguig or Makati generates huge returns. Plus, you will never have to worry about the market because there’s always a buyer or renter who’s willing to pay. But with the coronavirus crisis, things are changing.
Based on Lamudi’s data, there’s been a strong, brewing interest in locations outside the metro for the past months, since the community quarantine started. While the capital region remains to be in demand, a lot of provinces are getting a share in the real estate market’s attention. Ultimately, this should compel investors to look beyond Metro Manila.
To borrow what everyone has been throwing a lot lately, you need to embrace the new normal in property investment. That is, consider pursuing rental properties in these provincial hotspots, which, combined with Metro Manila, received over 80 percent of inquiries on the Lamudi platform from February to April 2022:
Cebu.
The Queen Region of the South reigns in real estate opportunities, especially because its capital has maintained its status as one of the richest cities in the country. In terms of house and lot investments, you can check out the units at Primary Homes’ Argao Royal Palms in Argao, MCJR Development Corp’s Vista de Bahia in Consolacion, and Aboitizland’s Almiya in Mandaue. For condos, there’s Megaworld’s One Manchester Place in Mactan and Taft Properties’ Taft East Gate in Cebu City.

4 Reasons Why Today is the Right Time to Buy a Home.
June 13, 2022 Uncategorized Comments are off for this post.
These days, much of life revolves around the home–work, hobbies, and loved ones.
The value of a home has never been greater and the desire of owning one that is comfortable and safe no matter the situation is of great importance.
Here are four reasons why today is the right time to buy a home:
You Get Peace of Mind.
Because of the pandemic, the government has always been reminding people to ‘Stay home. Stay safe’. Not only should a home be safe from the pandemic but from other emergencies and calamities as well, such as fires and earthquakes. The property a home seeker should look for must be able to provide utmost safety and security.
Cebu Landmasters Inc. was quick to implement safety measures on all their properties as soon as the pandemic reached the country. Its own property management, CLIPM, sees to it that strict precautionary measures are in place. They have stationed hand sanitizers in reception areas and other shared facilities, ensured the wearing of protective equipment, released health bulletins and social distancing reminders, implemented temperature checks in entrances, and doubled their efforts in the cleaning and sanitation of the whole property.
Aside from the COVID-19 sanitation measures, CLI prioritizes other safety protocols, specifically concerning fire and earthquake disasters. The properties are compliant with building codes, equipped with smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and extinguishers, and emergency exits.
All these contribute to reassuring residents, giving them the peace of mind their home is truly a safe haven.
You Enjoy Social Spaces Despite Social Distancing.
One of the greatest challenges in coping with lockdowns is isolation. The people today are social beings. With no mall, park, or coffee shop to go to, it’s easy to slide into feelings of loneliness cooped up at home. There are communities, however, that offer vast social spaces offering different activities such as brisk walking, jogging, and other physical activities but still practice social distancing without ever leaving the subdivision or condo building.
Cebu Landmasters, for one, has open, green spaces and leisure amenities. One of its projects, One Paragon Place, the residential component of The Paragon Davao located in McArthur Highway, Matina, features a sky deck and an open lounge.
Meanwhile, Mivela Garden Residences, a development in Banilad, is planned to have a multi-level clubhouse with lap pool, zen garden, and outdoor lounges. These leisure amenities allow residents to relax, while still keeping themselves from possible infections outside.
You Get an Asset That Continues to Appreciate.
Real estate is a smart and reliable investment. This will give better returns than keeping savings in the bank. When you do decide to sell your property in the future, you can generate a good profit out of it.
Take, for example, a 20-sqm studio unit at Mivela Garden Residences. When it was first launched back in September 2022, it was sold at two million. After eight months, it’s now priced at three million, a huge increase, considering the short span. Mivela Garden Residences in Banilad Cebu is one of CLI’s best-selling Garden Series.
Housing Payment Terms are more Affordable Today.
Because of the pandemic, many developers today have more flexible and affordable payment terms.
In Cebu Landmasters, they are now offering more flexible payment terms, stretching the equity period to make it lighter for the pockets of homebuyers via their CLI Home Goals Promo .
Casa Mira Towers Mandaue, the 8th development of CLI’s flagship housing community Casa Mira, promotes 42 months of stretched equity. The studio unit now costs only 4,800 per month, while the one-bedroom unit is priced at 9,900 per month.
Philippine developers still focused on 2022 REIT launches.
June 8, 2022 Uncategorized Comments are off for this post.
After years of waiting for favorable REIT rules and regulations to be approved, firms have no intention of letting COVID-19 derail share offering plans. DoubleDragon became the second Philippine developer to announce a REIT launch in 2022.
The Department of Finance, Securities and Exchange Commission, Bureau of Internal Revenue and Philippine Stock Exchange signed off on the new REIT rules at the start of the year. Developers had been lobbying for the rule changes for almost decade.
Ayala Land was the first developer to submit a REIT application in the Philippines, doing so in January. According to BusinessWorld, the Ayala Land REIT includes three commercial developments in Makati: Solaris One, Ayala North Exchange and McKinley Exchange.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic causing a property market slowdown, Ayala Land Offices Head Carol T. Mills told the website that the firm is committed to launching its REIT in 2022.
DoubleDragon readies 2022 REIT launch.
Developer DoubleDragon is preparing a PHP11 billion REIT launch that will take place during the fourth quarter. The company has decided to go ahead with plans to bring it to the market in 2022 despite economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19.
In an interview with BusinessWorld, DoubleDragon Chairman Edgar J. Sia II explained, “Although there is a global pandemic now going on, there are still investors looking to invest in specific companies that they think have a good, relevant and resilient portfolio. Right now, what matters the most is the long-term relevance and resilience of the business model more than anything else.”
Both DoubleDragon and Ayala Land will reinvest money generated from the REIT launches into their respective businesses. According to Santos Knight Frank, this reinvestment will contribute to the growth of the entire Philippine property sector and is the main benefit of the new REIT guidelines.
“We anticipate that REITs will drive an increase in acquisition, consolidation, and property development activities across the Philippines in the coming years. New capital raised by the developers through REITs will enable expansion of the real estate sector not only in Metro Manila but also in the provinces, and with it generate jobs across many sectors,” Kash Salvador, Associate Director for Investment & Capital Markets, Santos Knight Frank, noted.

Housing developer unloading P2.8B in receivables.
January 31, 2022 Uncategorized Comments are off for this post.
Housing developer unloading P2.8B in receivables (lifted from Inquirer.Net)
Housing developer 8990 Holdings has signed a deal to unload P2.8 billion worth of housing receivables, freeing up liquidity to build more houses for the mass market.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, 8990 Holdings said its subsidiaries had entered into a deal to sell contract-to-sell (CTS) receivables to Dearborn Resources and Holdings Inc.
The company encourages buyers to get long-term financing from PagIBIG and banks but some enter into CTS financing with 8990 Holdings. As the housing developer’s primary business is to build and sell houses and not to finance consumers’ purchase of houses, the strategy is to sell some of the receivables to other financing institutions.
The purchase of receivables by big financing institutions is seen to indicate confidence on the quality of 8990 Holdings’ buyers as well as its credit evaluation procedures and credit and collection platform.
Based on the disclosure, the following 8990 Holdings units sold their CTS receivables: 8990 Davao Housing Development Corp. (P215.5 million); 8990 Housing Development Corp. (P1.8 billion); 8990 Luzon Housing Development Corp. (P559.96 million); 8990 Mindanao Housing Development Corp. (P5.45 million), and Fog Horn Inc. (P248.78 million). — DORIS DUMLAO-ABADILLA.
How to Sell Your Home Fast.
August 12, 2022 Uncategorized Comments are off for this post.
How to Sell Your Home Fast by Elise Sole.
Selling a home can often take months, even years. So what if you have to unload your home in, say, two weeks ?
It can happen: Whether you need to relocate for a new job, to care for an elderly family member who’s suddenly fallen ill, or because you simply can’t handle your mortgage payments for even one more month, there are plenty of circumstances in which you might need to unload your precious home at lightning speed.
It can be done. Just check out these tactics and tips if time is of the essence.
Price it to move.
While everyone dreams of selling their home for top dollar, if you need to sell quickly, this is one time to price your home on the modest end—even a bit below its actual value.
“A conservative list price should encourage multiple offers and lead to a faster sale,” says Carrie Benuska , a Realtor® at John Aaroe Group in Pasadena, CA.
Set a hard deadline.
Want to bring buyers out of the woodwork quickly? It’s easy: Set a deadline for offers.
You can make this clear in your listing by saying you will be accepting offers only until a certain date—even as tight as one to two weeks after your home is listed for sale. That said, you should probably not announce why you need to sell quickly due to a new job or other circumstance, because buyers will smell desperation and take advantage of that. Just state your deadline without further explanation, and watch the offers roll in.
Sell to a flipper.
There’s no faster home sale out there than to a flipper. These buyers enable you to usually sell the home as is—often for cash—removing the burden of costly home repairs.
“These situations usually appeal to homeowners who just need to get a property off their hands,” says Benuska. But there are downsides: Flippers may demand below-market price, so they can resell it later for a larger profit. So just be sure your flipper isn’t fleecing you up the wazoo; at the very least, compare offers from two or more investors so they can’t steamroll you.
Offer incentives.
“Some sellers offer cash for the buyer’s agent if a full-price offer is received by a specific date,” says Wendy Flynn , owner of Wendy Flynn Realty in College Station, TX. Other times, the incentive is for the buyer who might score a refrigerator or other furniture for acting fast.
“I recently saw an offer that included seven flat-screen televisions and two Tempur-Pedic mattresses,” says Flynn.
Sell to a developer.
It may sound drastic, but if you want to sell simply and quickly, consider selling directly to a developer. That person would purchase your home for the value of its land, tear down the property, and build a new one in its place.
“This might be a good option for people in urban or suburban areas where land is scarce and the home is older and its value has depreciated,” explains Cheryl Julcher , principal and managing broker of Yellow Brick Properties in Belleville, IL. “The benefit for the seller is that the condition of the home is irrelevant—it’s going to be torn down anyway. The downside is the seller has to reconcile the fact that their home will cease to exist, which can be tough emotionally.”
Avoid guaranteed sales programs.
If you ever see a sign that reads, “If we don’t sell your home in 30 days, we’ll buy it,” run away fast .
“These are complete scams,” says Janine Acquafredda , associate broker at House-N-Key Realty in Brooklyn, NY. Here’s how it usually works: The real estate agent promises to list a home for a fixed period of time and if it’s not sold, he or she will buy it directly from the seller.
“It sounds like a good deal because in either case, the owner makes a sale,” says Acquafredda. “In reality, the agent often has no intention of putting the home on the market and in the end, pays the lowest possible market price for the home.”
Talk to your neighbors.
Before you list your home on the market, check in with the locals.
“Lots of times, people want to live near relatives or they’re looking to buy in their own neighborhood,” says Acquafredda. “Selling to a neighbor speeds up the entire process, and you won’t have to pay for marketing, advertising, and, in some states, the attorney’s fee.”
Be flexible.
Do potential buyers want to view your home at 6 p.m. on a Saturday? Let ’em in.
“Ease of showing is a huge factor in whether a home sells quickly,” says Acquafredda. “When a buyer is ready, willing, and able, you can strike while the iron is hot.”

10 Tips in Buying a House.
December 13, 2022 Uncategorized Comments are off for this post.
As one of life’s biggest and most rewarding experiences, buying a house is something you want to get right. Here’s the top 10 house buying tips to help you find success in your property investment.
There’s no hurry. Get prepared first.
One thing you can do is a comparative analysis. This means setting a certain time period – say a few months – and gathering up as much data as you can on properties for sale in the area you are looking at.
This should include the area or suburb you are specifically looking into, as well as a few suburbs surrounding.
One approach is to draw up a spreadsheet of features – bedrooms, amenities, size etc – and put in both the ask price and the sale price (where available).
This will not only give you a good understanding of the market, it will give you some figures to let estate agents know you’ve done your background research.
It’s generally a big mistake to head into the marketplace before you know your price limit or even whether you have finance.
Agreeing to take a property even informally, pre-contract, can cause problems if you realize you don’t have the money to cover it.
For instance, waiting for finance on your dream property can give others who do have finance, a chance to duck in and sign for it while you’re in limbo.
Whether you are buying for investment or your first home, the deal’s details should be held up to a strong light.
Contracts have a way of becoming incomprehensible, so make sure you give yourself time to get the fine tooth comb out to investigate every word, assumption, expectation and number.
And find out your rights. Many contracts have an opt out or cooling off period. If they don’t then you should ask why and consider seriously whether you still want to sign.
Just as any home needs a roof, so do those who are buying it – a financial roof that is. It can be easy when the blood is flowing and the auction hammer is dropping to let emotion over-ride the numbers. Don’t let your emotions rule your decision, let numbers rule it.
This advice builds on the one above.
For instance, know that buyer agents and selling agents are quite different and will have quite different approaches to your business. You need to know which is which.
You should also get familiar with real estate lingo. This can mean actual architectural terms including the fuzzy ones like “renovator’s delight”. It’s also worth noting: terms change in different countries – a colonial kitchen in the US is very different to one in Australia.
A good understanding of the real estate market will help you ask good questions and that’s vital.
Part of your budget should be to pay for home inspections. If you’re thinking of bidding for a place or making an offer, it’s essential you know about what problems a place may have.
Big problems will, of course, add costs to your household budget and may affect your ability to repay your mortgage. Even small ones may put that new furniture, or pool you were hoping for out of range.
Get a property inspection report first and then see if the vendor is willing to negotiate downwards to factor its findings in.
Buying property includes some costs which should be added onto the actual price. As noted above, inspections should certainly be part of that. Shifts in interest rates should also be factored into your planning and managed as best as is possible. Fractions of a point up or down can make things a whole lot cheaper or steeper than you’d otherwise expect.
Other possible extra costs like commuting to/from work from your new place, school or shops, rates and body corporate fees, utility costs should also make their way onto your budget spreadsheet.
What kind of persona do you want to put out there? What is your negotiating approach? How can you do business and feel comfortable with yourself?
To some extent this is about setting some personal values. But it’s also about how you feel you can best succeed using your strengths and not having your weaknesses exposed.
It is prudent to set a ceiling on your buying price. It’s also a good idea to set a floor.
But, sometimes it is worth going outside of the range if a) you can afford to and b) a cheaper home is perfect. You don’t want to miss those chances.
So, be a bit flexible and don’t be afraid to allow your price parameters some wriggle room.
Discipline still plays its role here though and you should know what price you simply cannot go over, or under.
There are developments in real estate all the time. So, it pays to subscribe to a news feed on real estate news so that industry and market news is at your fingertips.
Doing so will allow you to act quickly when circumstances require it and to drop in real estate terminology so that agents know you are serious and not to be messed with.
