| Property seekers can now search for the property they want and need—and transact housing services —through proptech startup Ohmyhome, which recently launched its one-stop-shop digital platform in the Philippines |
When Ohmyhome, Singapore’s market leader in property solutions platforms expanded into the Philippines in September, it saw that the demand for residential properties had remained strong amidst the pandemic. This means that despite the global health crisis randomly affecting the real estate market, there is still a significant interest in residential properties.
Before the pandemic, Filipino property seekers looked for good design, strategic location, and modern facilities in prospective homes. Now, with quarantine constraints still in place, the priority is for stable and secure bases for learning and working from home.
Race Wong, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Ohmyhome, explains the shift in buyer preferences: “While property seekers are still looking at houses located near commercial or urbanized districts, there is an increase in prospective homeowners looking at properties outside Metro Manila, due to the changes and increased flexibility in work and study arrangements”
