Amaia Steps Pasig has complete ready-to-use amenities.

Amaia Land is back with another game-changing campaign—the RFO (Ready-For-Occupancy) Home to Go promotion, which aims to make the home-buying process even easier. 

One benefit of investing in an RFO unit is that prospective buyers can examine the aesthetic of the home first-hand, since the unit is already fully constructed. Also, customers can get a glimpse of the existing community vibe before making the purchase. Most RFO homes already have existing amenities like swimming pools and basketball courts which residents may readily enjoy. Since the unit is completely built, buyers can immediately move in, while investors can rent out the unit sooner and get a faster return on their investment.

Proptech platform Ohmyhome bares five mistakes to avoid when purchasing a home

Leading property platform Ohmyhome shares five usual
mistakes Filipinos make on their first property purchase
—choosing the wrong location, not knowing the best property
 type for one’s needs, not understanding financial options,
underestimating homebuying costs,
and working with the wrong agent.

For a lot of Filipinos, buying their first home is mostly uncharted territory. The process involves an overwhelming number of details that can prove to be challenging to be completely mindful of, and missing even just one can lead to costly mistakes sooner and later.

Here, leading property solutions company Ohmyhome shares the five usual missteps that prospective homebuyers can make and offers tips on how to avoid them. 

Mistake #1 Choosing the Wrong Location

Property experts say that real estate is a high-investment purchase based primarily on location. “We have heard too many stories about people moving into their dream homes only to find out months later that flooding occurs after a heavy downpour or internet and cellular coverage is extremely weak,” Julian Sison, marketing manager of Ohmyhome, says.

Thus, prospective homebuyers must get to know all they can about the location of their future home: is it near an earthquake fault line? Are transport hubs accessible? They should also check out upcoming developments such as new infrastructure projects and new business and job opportunities.

Tips and reminders when buying a house during the pandemic

Security, control, belonging, identity, and privacy – these are only a few of the things that a home provides for you and for your family. It's a place that provides us with a centering—a place from which we leave when the sun goes up and to which we go back to rest and feel serenity when the sun goes down.

The home is also the most important place where the most important values in life are taught to every child. Knowing the values that a family cherishes helps increase harmony and peace among all family members. 

RE/MAX: A new concept that benefits consumers

RE/MAX, the world's highest-rating franchise, has changed the real estate sector in the Philippines by providing more options to people looking for property to own or lease.

For brokers, it means a more professional approach to doing business. 

"Our people aren't just in it for the money. They love what they are doing and are looking forward to what happens every day. They don't just have jobs. They have careers," explains RE/MAX Philippines country manager Michelle Perlas.

But the biggest benefit of RE/MAX being in the Philippines, according to Perlas, is felt by consumers.

Vista Residences: Condo Living is the Way to Go

A cursory trip to Metro Manila will reveal a curious phenomenon: the frenetic, unstoppable construction of high-rise residences. From mid-rise to towering structures, helmed by novice developers or established real estate players, they are transforming not only the urban fabric and the skyline but also the way people live, how they interact with each other, and their relationship with the city and its myriad opportunities.

“Metro Manila is a prime mega-city that is ripe and ready for high-rise developments,” says Emma Amores, Corporate Communications Head “With over 15 million people calling the metropolis home, it’s inevitable that there will be scarcity of land on which to build. The fact that that it has the country’s most expensive real estate in square meters makes building and buying a home more challenging.”

No wonder that more and more people are embracing condo living. The 21st century will be marked with condominium projects, just like how subdivisions and villages defined the late 20th century. Though there will still be a segment of the home-buying market that will prefer horizontal developments, signs are pointing toward more and more people preferring to live vertically. Here are some of their compelling reasons:
