Market Insights: Luxury Enters New Cities in the Philippines

Despite the uncertainty surrounding a global pandemic, there remains a high demand for luxury real estate in the country. There is also greater interest in having a smart city that is well-planned in terms of construction, sustainability, climate change awareness, and population.

Several real estate property firms have observed this trend develop, saying that the demand for luxury real estate has remained strong and steady, with the interest in more planned cities. They even went so far as to predict that this trend will still remain this year and in the future.

How Demand for Luxury has Changed

In the course of several lockdowns and restrictions, luxury village land values and luxury condominium prices continue to increase. Most of these can be seen in new cities that have experienced a recent boom in public interest due to an abundance of space that allows for a less-congested environment.

According to research from industry leaders, the Philippines’ luxury real estate segment has seen resilient and consistent performance in the economy in the previous years, and the demand has only continued to rise as more individuals choose to invest in luxury homes for their families or to create and develop rental properties from which to support their income and diversify their portfolios.

Luxury village land values and luxury condominium prices continue to increase even with the lockdowns and restrictions. This shows how much the capital values for these luxury properties and investments continue to grow into the future. Capital preservation for these types of assets remains strong even in the face of uncertain times. Land and luxury real estate remain among individuals’ best course for investments.

According to another report, the industry also exhibited a large increase in leads for residential rentals that belong to the upscale and luxury segments with the majority at prices of P200,000 and above. This trend may be influenced by returning C-level executives, ex-pats, and high-networth families.

Listings for luxury properties for sale priced at more than P20 million got the most number of leads, while leads for luxury property rentals were more diversified. Most renters were looking at luxury properties within a P60,000 to P100,000 price range.

But this continued development is not solely for luxury houses. According to a BusinessWorld report, more high-networth individuals are also investing in luxury condominium units in high-value buildings and developments within the past year. There has also been an uptick in renovations and upgrades for these units, as owners see a larger return on investment in the units located in new cities and major central business districts.

What Luxury Homeowners Are Looking For

Homes Away From The Noise and Crowds

Residential real estate is a need, now more essential than ever, and more people are looking to invest in luxury homes in new cities. A high-quality home that can provide safety, convenience, and comfort is exactly what buyers are looking for right now. And that usually takes them to new cities that are growing and thriving outside the congested centers of other cities.

A Home That Can Accommodate Every Need

The rising demand for luxury housing in a planned city also likely stems from the extended period most people need to stay home. Converting home spaces to accommodate technology for remote office work and school work has made families realize the value of having a home that can accommodate and support their every need. Larger homes with more rooms also offer better privacy which is essential for remote work and classes, making it easier for different family members to focus on the tasks they need to accomplish.

A Space to Unwind and Relax

The value of having a comfortable home was made evident by the events of the recent years. Now that most people have realized how much comfort plays a key role in their dream home, they look for homes created with ample space to rest, unwind, and lounge. Luxury housing in new cities can give them that upgraded lounge space. The idea is that larger lots in luxury communities also mean families can set up outdoor living spaces which they can use for relaxation or entertainment. This also gives them access to the outdoors, which studies have shown to be beneficial to one’s physical and mental health.

Convenience When in The City

Luxury condominium units in these areas give residents access to all the perks that come with living in a thriving city hub, such as proximity to local businesses, the finest dining establishments, convenient locations for work, technology, extensive night life activities, and prime shopping and entertainment establishments. Additionally, the amenities that come with owning a luxury condo space, such as free use of the gym, swimming pool, or other common areas, are also a huge draw.

Luxury Vacation Homes

With most schools and workplaces allowing for flexible and remote setups, a lot of individuals have looked into purchasing secondary vacation homes in new cities. If they usually spend their days in a condominium in the city, they may search for a larger space on the weekends as a complete change of scenery. They can also opt to work remotely from these vacation homes, giving them access to a more relaxed environment even as they work.

According to a management index, there has been an increase in demand for luxury properties in Laguna, Tagaytay, and Batangas. Luxury homes in these cities can give owners the best of both worlds: a bustling location with all the conveniences of the city and a relaxed vibe due to closer proximity to nature.
