Houses Within the Philippines: Real Estate and the Way It Can Help The Overall Economy

Real Estate Articles November 20, 2015

The Philippines has weathered the economic disaster of 2008 and 2009 quite well. With the region’s economic system steadily on the rise in 2010, the Philippines real estate industry is growing, too. Nowadays, real-estate developers have been busy constructing houses and apartments. We are seeing an expansion of high-rise condo properties and commercial buildings.

Developers are aware of the value of location, so they would most likely build these houses and apartments near departmental stores and transportation areas. Houses in Manila cost more than houses in the surrounding areas and accumulate in value over time if well-maintained. However, these properties and apartments are usually not limited to Metro Manila only, but they are also in adjacent areas such as Bulacan, Rizal, and Cavite. Rows upon rows of houses are now in place instead of rice fields.

The appeal of Manila is that it is one of the most cosmopolitan places in Asia and there are parts still needing to be developed. The real estate business has targeted OFWs and expatriates living in the Philippines. The OFWs, making use of their remittances and savings, sustain this country’s economy plus they make up the bulk of people today purchasing houses in the metro. A likely scene among OFWs; they would return home and buy a new house for investment then lease to other people. The result will be extra earnings for them and their own families.

Real estate developers pride themselves with the quality of the houses in Manila. They follow rigid construction regulations placed by the government, and potential buyers cantake advantage of loan packages from the government. Real estate developers offer flexible repayment terms and low prices for these properties. The vast majority of great houses and apartments in Manila are typically in villages. These types of villages have round-the-clock security for the safety of property owners.

The cost of living in Manila is relatively more affordable compared to other major Asian cities like Tokyo and Hong Kong. In Manila, possible homeowners can buy a house which costs a million pesos while renting apartments in Manila costs even less. Folks are generally attracted to renting an apartment mainly because it is more affordable than owning a house. It might be as low as 65,000 pesos per month or more. 

Renting is also more flexible when compared with owning a house. Renters can also choose if they would want to rent a studio-type apartment, orchoose from one-, two-, or even three-bedroom apartments. A few even have the benefit of being fully-furnished and parking space for tenants who have their own cars.

The Philippines real estate expansion has made the purchase of a house cheaper and easier. People hoping to reside in the area can have their choice of homes or apartments in Manila. This year continues to be a great year for real estate developers and also for home buyers. Everyone is excited for the coming years to be much better for property expansion.

Learning More About Condominiums in the Philippines

Real Estate Articles November 16, 2015

Condominiums are considered today as some of the best types of modern housings in the Philippines. Although widely spread all over the country, there are still a number of things that many Filipinos still doesn’t know about condominiums, such as the agreement of its type of ownership and other important information about condominiums.

What is a Condominium?
Condominiums are any type of housing, may it be an apartment or a house, in which an individual or group of people owns a unit or a house while other facilities found in the condominium are jointly owned. Other than just a name of a type of housing, condominium is also a type of housing tenure, or a type of ownership.

According to Philippine real estate experts, condominiums and apartment buildings are similar with each other in terms of physical form. Like apartment buildings, condominiums are mostly found in business and commercial districts. And like apartment buildings, condominiums are also made up of a high-rising building. The difference, however, is with its housing tenure or ownership in which apartment units are normally rented while condominiums are owned individually.

Condo Fees
Another difference of condominiums from any other types of housings in the Philippines is the condo fees. These fees are separate from the monthly bills that residents have to pay, in which they fees are used internally. According to Filipinos, these condo fees are used for the maintenance of their condominium, as well as wages for its maintenance and security personnel.

Although considered as a disadvantage, particularly because most condo fees are expensive, these are necessary to maintain the integrity of their condominium, such as its cleanliness, as well as its security.

Amenities
What made condominiums stand out in the market, compared to other similar types of modern housings in the Philippines, is its collection of amenities. Compared to apartment buildings and townhouses, condominiums are the only types of modern housings that offer amenities to their residents.

Most condominiums are known to offer their residents with amenities that they can freely and exclusively enjoy. Many Philippine real estate experts have said that most of the older condominiums offer gyms as their amenities, while some of the new condominiums are known to offer amenities such as an indoor swimming pool as well as a full-size sports complex.

Diversity
Another reason why condominiums became popular is because of its diversity. Similar to townhouses, condominiums are not only found in business and commercial districts, there are also a number of condominiums found in the outskirts or even in the provinces.

These types of residential Philippine real estate are known as condominium complexes and these types of condominiums normally aims to offer housing for modern Filipino families because of its family-oriented environment as well as facilities that accommodates the needs of a growing child such as recreational parks and playgrounds.For more information visit to our site at http://www.avidaland.com

Modern and Traditional Housing in the Philippines

Real Estate Articles November 14, 2015

One of the most popular types of housing in the Philippines today are condominiums. However, according to many Philippine real estate experts, though condominiums are some of the most popular types of housing in the Philippines, houses are still considered as one of the most in-demand types of housing in the Philippines. So what made condominiums popular and houses still in-demand in the Philippines?

Condominiums: Modern Housing for the Modern Filipino
According to many Philippine real estate experts, the main reason why condominiums became a very popular type of housing in the Philippines is because of its many benefits in which Filipinos have taken advantage of in today’s modern and fast-paced lifestyle. One of these benefits is with its accessibility to workplaces and entertainment districts.

Most condominiums are found in business and commercial districts. Because of its location, residents are given the luxury of living within walking distance and mass transit distance from their workplaces, which are rare in other types of housing, particularly with houses. It was because of this that condominiums rapidly gained its popularity in the market.

However, other than its location, condominiums are also known for its other benefits, such as its maintainability and security in which many of its residents have truly benefited from. Because of its own maintenance personnel, condominiums always maintain its luxurious look inside and out, from its hallways, lobbies, and stairways, to elevators, parking lots, and its cooling systems.

As for its security personnel, condominiums are known for its tight security, particularly because most of its residents are of high stature such as wealthy families as well as company executives. With its security, residents are assured of their safety.

These are some of the reasons why condominiums have become one of the most popular types of housing in the Philippines. However, most Filipinos are not as keen as others in living in condominiums, particularly because not all Filipinos can afford to buy a new condominium unit in these locations, which is why houses are still known as one of the most in-demand types of housing in the Philippines.

Houses: Traditional Houses for Traditional Filipinos
Though not as popular as condominiums, houses are still known as one of the most in-demand types of housing in the Philippines. This is because of its affordability compared to other types of housing, particularly condominiums.

Because not all Filipinos can afford to buy a condominium unit, many Filipinos opts to live in a house, even if they wanted to live in a condominium. However, not all houses are as disadvantageous as others may think. Though not found in similar locations such as condominium, these houses can still offer the accessibility in which Filipinos are looking for, particularly with the finishing of the LRT 1 and MRT extension.

According to many Philippine real estate experts, what truly made houses in-demand is because many Filipinos still believe that houses are the only types of housing suitable for a growing Filipino family, which is why houses are still in-demand in the market.

Condominiums and Apartments in the Philippines

Real Estate Articles November 11, 2015

There are two popular types of modern housings found in business and commercial districts today, these are condominiums and apartment buildings. Although condominiums were only recently introduced, it had quickly gained a lot of popularity which had later outpaced apartment buildings in terms of demand.

 

However, apartments in today’s modern trends had started to gain more popular compared to condominiums due to the many new benefits that these types of modern residential real estate in the Philippines can offer. So which of these types of housings can be considered as the best type of modern housing in today’s modern competitions?

 

Rising Condominium

Although there are many other types of condominiums available in the market today, such as condominium complexes which are mostly found in the outskirts of Metro Manila, condominiums were first established in the Philippines as a type of modern housing for Filipinos seeking to live in a home within walking distance from their workplaces.

 

Because of its location, many Filipinos steadily moved from living in an apartment unit to a condominium unit. However, other than condominiums, apartments are also known to offer the same luxury of accessibility that these modern types of housings are known for.

 

According to many experts, other than its accessibility, there are also other reasons why condominiums had gained a lot of popularity in the Philippine market, even shadowing that of apartment buildings. This is because condominiums are the only types of residential Philippine properties in business and commercial districts that can offer facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, and sports complexes.

 

It was because of these amenities that made condominiums as some of the most popular types of housings in the Philippines today. However, even though condominiums had gained a lot of popularity in the Philippine market, apartment buildings are still known for its popularity as well as its demand in the market, particularly because these types of housings are known for its affordability compared to condominiums.

 

Return of Apartments

Since condominiums had dominated the modern market, apartment buildings had gradually lost its popularity and demand in the market. Today, however, apartment buildings had now become even more popular compared to what it was in the past, this is when new apartment units were introduced in the market.

 

Part of what made apartment buildings popular in the Philippine market is because of its affordability compared to other types of modern housings in the country. It was because of this that allowed apartment buildings to strive in the market. However, other than that, there are also other reasons why apartment buildings had gained a lot of popularity in the Philippine market. This is because of their new apartment units known as the one/two/three bedroom apartments which allowed more Filipinos to live in an apartment with their growing family.

Advantages of Condominiums in the Philippines

Real Estate Articles November 10, 2015

One of the most popular types of housing today according to many Filipinos are condominiums. There are many reasons as to why this is, but many Filipinos have said that the main reason why condominiums became popular, as well as modern for many Filipinos in today’s modern trends, is because of its location.

Condominiums in the Philippines
These types of residential Philippine real estate are normally found in businesses and commercial districts which are unlike other types of housing in the Philippines like the typical houses. Because of its location, many Filipinos found these types of housing suitable for their needs.

In today’s modern trends, many Filipinos have been looking for a type of housing which they can easily and conveniently access from their work. This fast-paced lifestyle is usually because of the nature of their work, which requires them to work around the clock. This is the reason why a type of housing in which they can easily retreat to is suitable for their needs. This is why condominiums gained a lot of popularity in the market.

Because most condominiums are found in businesses and commercial districts, residents were given the luxury not only for its living space, but also the luxury of living within walking distance or mass transit distance from the workplaces, which is an advantage rarely found in other types of housing in the country. And because of these benefits, condominiums rapidly became popular and were eventually considered a modern type of residential Philippine real estate.

Other Popular and Modern Condominiums
However, other than those condominiums found in the city, a number of new types of condominiums were also introduced in the Philippines. The difference of these new types of condominiums compared to those found in business and commercial districts is its location, which is mostly found in the outskirts or even in the provinces. These new types of condominiums are known as condominium complexes.

Although not as beneficial compared to condominiums in the city in terms of accessibility to workplaces as well as popular entertainment districts such as malls and parks, condominium complexes do possess a number of advantages compared to living in a condo unit in the city. And this is also because of its location.

Because condominium complexes are mostly found in the outskirts or the provinces, away from the city, many residents may find these types of residential Philippine real estate to be suitable for their needs in terms of peace and quiet. Because of its environment, many Filipinos have also found these types of condominiums suitable for their growing family, particularly for their growing children.

However, what made these types of housing more popular and modern is because of its amenities such as swimming pools, gyms, recreational parks, playgrounds, as well as a full-sized sports complex complete with basketball courts, volleyball courts, tennis and badminton courts.For more information visit to our site at http://www.ayalalandpremier.com

Helpful Ideas for Renting or Acquiring Residential properties in the Philippines Real Estate Market

Real Estate Articles November 8, 2015

One has unlimited options when seeking residential properties in Philippines real estate listings. Metro Manila is such a huge place jam-packed with apartments, houses, and condominiums, surrounded with commercial and entertainment centers. Getting a house to reside in can occasionally be confusing, especially when you aren’t accustomed with the place. That’s exactly why it really is necessary to consider your options meticulously before making that huge decision.

There are several factors that needs to be taken into consideration when searching for household properties in Manila. Primarily, one has to think of his preferred location or area. This will enormously be based upon where you conduct your business or go to work. You will also want easy access to areas like hospitals, schools, and public transport terminals. You will need to hunt for houses in Manila that are nearby all these basic areas so you can avoid potential inconveniences. You should also consider your livelihood pursuits. If your job or company is centered on Quezon City, leasing or buying an apartment in Makati is simply unreasonable and will be very inconvenient as well. As in any other country, location is really the ultimate deciding aspect when it comes to the world of Philippines real estate.

Only upon choosing a city should you make up your mind whether to rent in Manila or acquire your own household property. It is usually costly to possess a property that’s located in top cities like Makati and Ortigas. The large demand for houses in Manila found within these areas renders it just about improbable to acquire one. This is mostly the factor why lots of young employees and middle-class families believe that it is realistic to rent a house or apartment instead. Still, you will find less expensive choices in the Philippines real estate market. High-rise residence units are actually a feasible option for many young employees and people in the middle-class. Obtaining a condominium is much cheaper and property developers ensure it is an even more appealing option for buyers by presenting quite flexible monthly payment terms.

Deciding to live in the many different houses in Manila also has some benefits as compared to condo or apartment living. The spatial freedom and comfort a real house provides may not be attained in smaller high-rise residential apartments. A house, primarily one that’s confined inside a private village or subdivision, is usually extremely expensive to own or rent in Manila. Nevertheless, the numerous rewards of being in private subdivisions like Bel Air and Dasmarinas Village in Makati and Green Meadows and Valle Verde in Pasig are obvious. These private villages have first class facilities, something which some other areas do not have.

With plenty of options in the Philippines real estate market, your final decision will most probably be influenced by two major conditions: budget and location. Regardless if it’s a house in Manila or an apartment for rent on its outskirts, ensure that you are making the correct decision structured on your own individual requirements and needs.
