Forecasts for the real estate industry in 2021 show that property as an investment remains a stable and safe option, with upcoming developments in the country’s business environment and national infrastructure projects set for completion.Filipinos seeking stable and safe investments might want to
venture into property this year, as data from real estate analysts
show a positive outlook for Philippine real estate in 2021.
Industry experts assert that the property sector has “continuously displayed resilience over the last decade, posting record high-levels in take-up, supply, prices, and land values.”
Likewise, data from research show that despite the pandemic, property investments yield steady and lucrative returns, preserve wealth, and generate capital appreciation, showing how real estate is one of the best long-term investments for individuals and families.
All these points out the fact that the real estate industry remains one of the safest spheres for investors who seek passive income.
A positive outlook for Philippine real estate in 2021
Likewise, leading real estate organization Colliers International predicts that the progression of big-ticket projects in 2021 will boost Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). For instance, projects such as the LRT-2 East Extension, Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), Skyway SLEX Extension, MRT Line 7, BGC-Ortigas Link Bridge, and the NLEX-SLEX connector road are set to finish between 2021 and 2022. Once completed, these projects will benefit several provinces and key cities in Metro Manila, thus, increasing the need for good residential units in various areas.
The lockdown in 2020 has also shown that the majority of businesses can work remotely, lowering employee maintenance costs including office rent. This has definitely ushered a big change for the ‘second home’ market, which includes gated resort communities in the provinces. Data from Leechiu Property Consultants (LPC) reveal that many individuals and families have deemed it wise to invest in a ‘second home’ away from the metro, as suburban property allows more flexibility during crises like the pandemic.
For those interested in condominium investments, a study by LPC also showed that properties near mixed-use projects enjoy better premiums and appreciation than those located farther. For instance, homeowners prefer condominiums close to mixed-use developments that blend commercial, residential, and cultural uses into one space, as these are convenient especially for Filipinos who are always on-the-go.
