House and Lots – Still the Best Financial Investment

The global population is consistently on the rise, also increasing the demand for homes. As of 2018, the Philippines has a population of over 106 million according to World Population Review with Quezon City, Manila, and Caloocan City topping the list of the most populated cities in the country. In terms of population density, based on a report by the Philippine Statistics Authority for the third quarter of 2015, the data show that 337 people occupy a square kilometer.

Today, condominium communities are popular to residents in Metro Manila due to their convenience. In the eyes of urban planners, these structures save and maximize lot areas. Nevertheless, house and lots are still the most preferred option for a long-term investment.

Buying a home is a consequential decision. In addition, while it is perhaps the biggest financial purchase most people will make in their entire lifetime, the benefits it provides improve lives. A better quality of life is guaranteed, as privacy and comfort are no longer limited.

Homeowners enjoy the stability of having a home without the risk of displacement or eviction by a landlord. Living in an owned property eliminates the worry of the transferring from one place to another after renting a condominium unit or a rental house for a number of years.

For the design of the interior and exterior of a property, homeowners have the last decision on everything. From the arrangement of furniture and decorative items and the number of rooms to whether or not there is a need for a third floor, a house can be remodeled and redesigned based on the preferences of its owners.

For the security and comfort of homeowners, a family does not have to worry about nosy neighbors, as their house does not necessarily have to be in close proximity with the houses of their neighbors. It is unlike living in a condominium community where units share walls.

An intelligent investor understands the value of houses. The residential property market in the Philippines continues to perform significantly well. In fact, according to a report published by Global Property Guide in April 2018, the price of duplex houses and townhouses rose by 17.3% and 8.1% in 2017 respectively. The rise in house prices proves that property investment remains as one of the best financial decisions one will make.

A house remains central to our needs. Depending on an investor’s preferences, be it the size of a property, the district or subdivision it belongs to, or other key factors that could influence a decision, it is crucial to be familiar with the location of a home.

Metro Manila has 16 cities from where a family can buy a house and lot. From high-end houses in Forbes Park, Makati; Ayala Alabang Village, Muntinlupa; and Valle Verde, Pasig to mid-range houses in Las Piñas City and Taguig City, homebuyers have thousands of options to choose from, depending on their needs and preferences.

From being a community where the main occupation of its residents was fishing, it now has hundreds of high-rise residential and corporate towers, high-end malls and lifestyle centers, museums, nightclubs and bars, world-class schools, hotels, cafés, and restaurants.
