" Philippines Homes: Live Or Invest "

“It's Just A Matter Of Choice”




In Philippines Homes, you can live best or you can invest well. Your choices for those homes may include big lots, property for sale by owner or for rent by owner.

If you are a philanthropist, you may want to build homes for the deprived. Else, you may just focus on living and earning instead.

This page is about living or investing in Philippines homes.

Moving on…


City Home Dwelling

Homes in Philippine cities are costlier than in the rural areas. You can figure out why.

City contractors charge as high as P25K-35K ($595-833) per square meter of floor area for labor and material.

The gauge is simple-to-elegant. Contractors pay high labor cost. They also grapple with costly materials otherwise sourced from the provinces.

If you’re not concerned with cost, city Philippine homes can more than meet your measures. You can buy your best choice at P2M-8M ($47,619-190,476) any of these…

  1. Single detached house
  2. Condominium unit
  3. Apartment unit
  4. Townhouse

Should you rent, ponder on P18K-45K ($ 428-1,071) per month on any of these…

  1. Single detached house
  2. Condominium unit
  3. Apartment unit
  4. Townhouse

Rural Home Dwelling

Simple-to-elegant rural or provincial Philippines homes are cheaper than their city counterparts. Cost for labor and material hang around P12K-20K per square meter of floor plan.

Big lots are also easy to find there. So…

Cost should not concern you at all. Therefore, you can buy your best of best homes at P700K-8M ($16,666-190,476). Again, the options are…

  1. Single detached house
  2. Condominium unit
  3. Apartment unit
  4. Townhouse

If you want to rent, ponder on P9K-25.2K ($300-600) per month on any of these structures…

  1. Single detached house
  2. Condominium unit
  3. Apartment unit
  4. Townhouse

City Home Investment

Once your dwelling measures are met, it’s almost natural for you to think of property investment.

Investing in city Philippines homes can make you money. For some reasons, there’s a housing national backlog, the economy is surging and the population growth remains high.

The opportunity is just right across your face for the same structure types.

Once the property is up, you can have a property for sell by owner or for rent by owner.

If you are an expatriate married to a Filipina/Filipino you can own land in-country. Then build. Else, if otherwise…

You can only buy and own an apartment or condominium unit. Or you can build and own a house excluding the land… which you can lease though for 50 years.

Either way, you have an investment opportunity.

Rural Home Investment

Say, you dwell in a big lot in the province. Next… you invest. The provincial market is not as strong as the city’s, but…

Your chances in tourism hot spots are strong.

Or a furnished apartment property for rent by owner in Iloilo province similar to the photo next can rent out at P25K/month ($595) (Image by: http://myphilippinelife.com)…


Say, you’re the owner… you’re in good business!

So, Decide…

Philippines homes let you live or earn good. Two settings stand out… city location or rural. The choice is yours. Explore the possibilities.

If you are convinced, consider to come and SEE, LIVE or INVEST in the Philippines.
