Getting pre-approved for a mortgage makes you more attractive as a buyer. It means you’re financially ready to handle the financial costs that come with purchasing a property. Since pre-approvement entails a stringent and meticulous process, gaining pre-approval means that you have been assessed and proven to be in good financial standing.

Do you see your potential real estate investment as a self-liquidating asset or do you want to accrue its value over time?

Look at location
While Metro Manila’s decongestion has been a long time coming, the pandemic has sped up the process with more and more families looking into sprawling properties outside the metro, in their desire to live a more nature-filled, holistic lifestyle. With elements such as heavy traffic, noise, and pollution impacting the ability to live a more balanced life, new and upcoming neighborhoods outside the metro are becoming an increasingly enticing option for young families. That said, it is equally important for buyers to be close to city conveniences and upscale amenities.
This makes the idea of elegant suburban living in adjacent provinces such as Batangas or Laguna an attractive choice. Other urban areas in the country such as Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo, and Angeles pose promising alternatives, allowing families the prospect of living in more luxurious homes farther in the countryside while having close access to the comforts of the city.
That said, there are still plenty of opportunities to be seized in the metro, if one would look into other CBDs such as Quezon City or Muntinlupa. With growing traffic problems within the city, other districts with promising growth become increasingly attractive options. Families will look for high-rise developments that can afford them exclusive conveniences, as well as larger units and open, outdoor spaces. Last year’s unit vacancies mean that enticing deals await investors who are willing to purchase now.
Investing in a property is no small affair. Aside from being located in a high-value location, a property by a reputable developer assures its quality and the potential to increase in its current and future value, a promising investment for your family and the future.
