Luxury real estate sees a boom during the summer, when most families look to purchase new properties to transform into their perfect vacation homes without going to the top international destinations. Make the most out of your investment by taking the time to read up on the latest April trends and market insights for luxury real estate.
What are the most popular months for real estate?
Unbeknownst to many, the real estate market has also seen rise and fall in activity during certain months. In general, some months are better for buying a home, while other times are better for building or selling your luxury real estate properties. Like any industry, the market may present general trends, but you should also factor in specific conditions that might affect the sale of certain properties.
According to veteran realtors, about 50% of luxury real estate gets sold during the summer months. This may be likely to people wanting a fresh start in their new home during the summer where they have more time to settle in before they return to typical work and school schedules.
Touring luxury real estate during the summer also highlights how the home can provide comfort and relief during the hotter days, making it more than a great time to visit several properties on your wishlist.
If you are looking to buy your new home, however, October to February are also prime popular months for real estate. Most sellers are looking to close deals towards the end of the year or right at the start of the year so that they may offer luxury homebuyers better prices for these properties.
Building luxury real estate also has popular months, with research showing that new builds are often started around December to February to make the most of cool and dry weather conditions.
April 2023 Real Estate Trends for the Philippines
When it comes to more specific trends, analysts take a closer look and project findings per quarter or even per month. If you are looking to purchase or sell luxury real estate during summer, it is best to look into April trends and market insight before you make these big decisions.
High Demand for Luxury Residential Properties
Due to strong economic growth, a study has projected that the Philippines will see an increase in property sales. The real estate market will remain stable, as more projects are completed and more families purchase homes.
Luxury homes, especially those in exclusive communities sitting right outside busy city centers, continue to be popular among homebuyers. While living in the city center has a lot of perks, more homeowners want to live in homes that give them the luxury of space and serenity. As such, properties in Santa Rosa and Daang Hari are becoming more attractive to prospective buyers. These locations are still conveniently located near hubs of commerce and entertainment, but they still provide a space where families can feel like they can get away from all the hubbubs of city living. Families are putting a premium on green spaces for their homes, which are more readily available in luxury communities right outside busy business districts.
Condo Living on the Rise in Business Districts
For career-oriented individuals, there is a demand for luxury condos in areas close to work and business centers. While working from home is still available to many individuals, they want the option of a quick commute if ever they need to come into the workplace. Condo living can give them the best value for their money, and as such, more individuals are looking to get the best condos in areas like Davao.
Philippine Tourism and Real Estate
As the country’s tourism recovers post-pandemic, the desire to have a vacation home in the best tourist spots of the country have also seen an uptick in activity in the market. Consumers site Baguio and Tagaytay as two of their top options for vacation-style living. Having a home base in these communities makes it attractive for homeowners as an alternative to hotels.
Consumers are also looking to Boracay for their destination of choice when it comes to luxury living. The beach lifestyle, especially in the summer, has created a demand for properties and condominium units in beachy locales like Boracay.
OFWs Looking for Philippine Homes
Filipinos abroad all look forward to building a better life for their families, and that includes investing in a comfortable home for their families. This new home is also something OFWs look forward to coming home to and even retire in. Recent market insights suggest that Filipinos working abroad are looking to invest their money into properties for themselves and their families. These Filipinos are looking for homes with large spaces, good airflow, and ample greenery. As a whole, overseas workers want to find their piece of luxury in their homeland.
Challenges in the Market
Of course, world events also have a marked effect on world markets, including real estate. The Philippines is seen as a strategic position by various countries. This means that the conflicts surrounding the United States, China, Russia, and Ukraine will also affect Philippine market conditions.
Local challenges like food security can also play a big part in how stable the real estate market can become.
But while Filipinos are more conscious about where and how they spend their money, the real estate market is projected to remain resilient and relatively stable. Luxury real estate and properties remain the preferred investments by many Filipinos, regardless of how the market fluctuates.
