How Signet Properties will Revolutionize Real Estate Leads with a Powerful CRM

<a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/haraya-residences">Haraya Residences</a> by&nbsp; Shang Robinsons Properties, Inc. (SRPI), a joint venture between Shang Properties, Inc. and Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) is set to rise in <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Pasig%20City">Pasig City</a> and has begun construction on the first of two towers. The South Tower, which will have 558 units on 57 storeys and the North Tower which is yet to be announced.&nbsp;

Beyond doubt, this new development is one of the most ambitious residential projects in the area, aiming to combine modern luxury with eco-friendly living, catering to the needs and desires of its future residents. It is poised to be a game-changer in the real estate landscape as&nbsp; it is expected to be surrounded by office towers and other premium developments in Bridgetowne Estate.

According to SRPI Executive Vice-President Jose Juan Z. Jugo during their media launch in February &ldquo;Haraya&quot; in Filipino means &ldquo;imagination.&rdquo; It is where you&#39;re free to live, interact, unwind, and be productive all in one place.

He also added that &ldquo;Haraya Residences is really a project that will transform normal urban living into something very special.&rdquo; Aside from that the project aims to target young urban professionals that want to upgrade their lifestyle.

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/qkKws_4vcdUgxwZFnsJNAQexiRGb-g86MT3uojN3feWITI09nnJ2yJOgHBkVvifmEhuMD8E3Pd9by1kfxfmHH_dKN7W2N4au26tg7L09myi14Kpzds7_KAi-j5eODo8S-33HP3Mj4jtc1SxDZ-KfSto" style="height:191px; width:340px" /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/zMWGaKV7rbbMMn0vbf1ZgCbwTcbzKLl_NmwncqiBUikEMxbKEfyGLXYpAh7nc4bXhASlUnskB95yIICfKNkX_BbyGoJl93NzzCEo6suS8cEp80m61gAnH47SLAFDfeBOFxGf-AbeEsBaJvUfP018vwI" style="height:191px; width:340px" />

The Groundbreaking of Haraya Residences in Bridgetowne Estate: What to Expect

In selling luxury real estate it&#39;s essential to know your market inside out. Buyers like Pia Wurtzbach, who have achieved success through hard work and dedication, often seek properties that reflect their accomplishments and provide a comfortable, luxurious lifestyle. They value properties with unique features, top-notch amenities, and prestigious locations. That is why it&rsquo;s important to tailor your marketing approach to resonate with this discerning type of buyer.

Let&rsquo;s be honest this market is quite different and challenging so you need to prove your unique set of skills, strategies, and market knowledge. One individual who understands this market exceptionally well is the renowned actor and politician, Richard Gomez.&nbsp;

According to Richard Gomez purchasing a house in Forbes Park is a good investment, he said &ldquo;Hindi naman natin kailangan tirahan &#39;yan eh. Ang bahay nandiyan na, let&#39;s have it rented out tapos &#39;yung renta na &#39;yun, iyon ang pambayad natin sa bangko, sa mortgage. So &#39;yun ang nangyari. Ten years may umuupa ng bahay na &#39;yun. So 10 years nabayaran &#39;yung bahay&rdquo;&nbsp;

This mindset allowed him to enjoy his property without having to spend that much on mortgage.

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/AMIDYyp-9Cqv3RZ12ZU8Vd-DJ02D3fraeL5LXOGWHvIQnWET3dCIW_clhquCyc0yrVThD6xbvEF3QPM2rMAaoIe6GT1iI9xsresIOtsIyG98gT62hfYoKo4TSegEofRcK9vYLirymgTL7FhOT5ztSLk" style="height:235px; width:470px" /> 
 
That&rsquo;s why if you&rsquo;re currently selling high-end properties, think about your target market because that will make all the difference in your success.

1. Understand the Local Market

Different regions have varying demands and trends. For instance, the demand for beachfront properties is high in <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=El%20Nido%20(Bacuit)">Palawan</a>, while <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Makati%20City">Makati City</a> is known for its upscale condominiums. By knowing your niche, you can tailor your approach and marketing strategies to cater to the specific needs of your clients. With your marketing strategies partner up with Lead generation companies like <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/contact">Signet Properties</a> that will help you find the right prospects for you.

&nbsp;

2. Showcase Exclusivity and Lifestyle

Luxury properties are not just about the physical structure; they&#39;re about a lifestyle. When marketing these homes, emphasize the exclusivity and the luxurious living experience they offer. Use high-quality photos and videos to showcase the property&#39;s unique features, such as spacious gardens, swimming pools, state-of-the-art kitchens, and opulent interiors. Highlight the neighborhood&#39;s prestige and proximity to high-end establishments, just as Forbes Park offers.

Take for example celebrities like Kim Chiu. As she showed off their dirty kitchen she mentioned that her favorite in her new house is the outdoor living area&nbsp; because it&rsquo;s the best place to recharge and re-energize while resting.

To impress buyers like her, it is important to highlight the exceptional features of your house/unit.

3. Professional Staging and Photography

Luxury properties deserve the best presentation. Invest in professional staging and photography services to showcase your properties in the most appealing light. Partnering with Signet Properties can also help you throughout your staging&nbsp; because they have subscription packages in which they will provide you high-quality images and video tours which can make a world of difference in attracting potential buyers. Remember, first impressions matter!&nbsp;

&nbsp;

4. Network with High-Net-Worth Individuals

Ofcourse luxury properties are only affordable to people with high net worth that is why building relationships in the luxury real estate sector is crucial. Attend social events, join exclusive clubs, and participate in upscale gatherings or you can also check the latest event updates on <a href="https://web.facebook.com/signetproperties.ph">Signet Properties Facebook</a> account to meet high-net-worth individuals who might be interested in purchasing luxury properties. Personal connections can often lead to lucrative deals.

&nbsp;

5. Offer Exceptional Customer Service

Providing top-notch customer service is non-negotiable in the luxury real estate market. Be responsive, attentive, and accommodating to your clients&#39; needs and preferences. Going the extra mile can result in repeat business and referrals, which are invaluable in this industry.

&nbsp;

6. Stay Updated on Legal and Regulatory Changes

The Philippine real estate industry is subject to various laws and regulations. Stay informed about changes in property taxes, zoning laws, and foreign ownership restrictions to ensure that your transactions are legally sound. This knowledge will also help you advise your clients accurately.

&nbsp;

7. Highlight Investment Opportunities

Richard Gomez&#39;s insight on using rental income to cover mortgage payments is a valuable strategy in the luxury real estate market. Many buyers are interested in properties that can generate rental income, making the investment more financially feasible. Let&rsquo;s not forget Kathryn Bernardo&#39;s advice on investing in properties which is rooted in sound financial wisdom. She said that &ldquo;If there&rsquo;s one thing I could share, especially sa mga ka-age ko, invest in properties kasi hindi ka talo kapag nag-invest ka sa ganun&rdquo; This is a stepping point for buyers out there who&rsquo;s career is flourishing.

So emphasize its potential as an income-generating asset. Provide data on rental rates in the area, showcasing the property&#39;s ability to pay for itself over time, as Gomez&#39;s example illustrates. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/aCDLu4BrhX6Sjl5kJmM9cWJVriBHErVNbfZTO6KhAAefN7bziOGBhdXd-N_mUJN2jyfSHFb-yacRQSeUYBDtBPxBwTFT-vhI4o7HmVmoS0gWPxNM-6WlQP6KC4XPQsNF2n7qHH4mww47m1UBGc7AMWM" style="height:268px; width:479px" /> 
 
8. Effective Negotiation Skills

Negotiating in the luxury real estate market can be complex. You need to be skilled at finding a win-win solution while protecting your client&#39;s interests. Having excellent negotiation skills can make or break a deal.

Selling luxury properties in the Philippines can be a rewarding endeavor for those who are dedicated and well-prepared. By understanding the local market, building a strong online presence, networking with high-net-worth individuals, offering exceptional customer service, staying updated on legal matters, highlighting unique selling points, and mastering negotiation skills, you&#39;ll be well on your way to success in this exciting and dynamic field.

Insider Tips on How to Sell Luxury Properties in the Philippines

Are you among the countless dreamers envisioning a place to call your own, a space where you can create memories and build your future? The desire to own a property is a powerful aspiration, but it often comes with the question: Can I truly afford it, given your current income or combined household earnings?

&ldquo;Invest! Invest! Invest! As you accumulate wealth make sure that you invest it in the right places.&rdquo; Chinkee Tan said,&nbsp; a motivational speaker, financial consultant, and business coach.

But before you start investing I want you to feel confident about how much you can afford. In this blog, we will give you a&nbsp; detailed sample computations of expenses to help you decipher whether your property dreams are within reach. Let&rsquo;s discover the possibilities that await you.

&nbsp;

Scenario number 1:&nbsp;

You earn PHP 20,000-50,000 monthly and are contemplating on buying a pre-selling condo in <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Manila">Metro Manila</a> priced at PHP 2.8 million. Let&rsquo;s assume that you budget your money in line with the 60/20/20 rule. 60% expenses, 20% savings, 20% extra money.

&nbsp;

Housing Costs: 
Down Payment (20%): PHP 560,000 
Loan Amount: PHP 2.2 million 
Monthly Amortization (30 years at 6% interest): Approximately PHP 13,460

Assuming your 20% extra money ranges from PHP 10,000 to 20,000. With the sample computation above, you can afford the 2.8M condo in Metro Manila.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/UtLeq8O1F-MoNjpi6KsQna3pfXvT-ORjl3fYxcHGi226KJX17OfMMDky5RNG9wYsd50ARVOv2ruZLeavVxyl1x5407Fa1fseUP94dnc02Q9ip4BjYv_sRVlGgVEkwSyySuMNr_o0NOKZbMxtJgwMCro" style="height:338px; width:338px" />

&nbsp;

Don&#39;t worry if properties in <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Manila">Metro Manila </a>are out of your price range because the extra money you have is just below the estimated monthly amortization, there are still other options in nearby areas with more affordable housing options. Consider properties in <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Cavite%20City">Cavite,</a> <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Santa%20Rosa%20City">Laguna,</a> <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Batangas%20City">Batangas,</a> <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Antipolo%20City">Rizal</a>, <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Quezon">Quezon</a> (CALABARZON) that are only a few minutes away from Metro Manila.

&nbsp;

Affordable Housing Options in Calabarzon

1.&nbsp;<a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/amaia-scapes-bulacan">Amaia Scapes (Laguna and Batangas):</a>&nbsp;Amaia Scapes, developed by Ayala Land, offers budget-friendly house and lot units. House and lot packages typically start at around PHP 1 million to 2 million.

2.&nbsp;<a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/urban-deca-homes-manila">Deca Homes</a> (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and Quezon):&nbsp;Deca Homes offers affordable townhouse units in various locations within Calabarzon. Prices for these townhouses can range from PHP 800,000 to 1.5 million.

3. Lot for Sale: Lots are way cheaper and affordable. Just make sure that you research and you understand that land prices depend on different factors. Rural or less developed regions may offer more affordable options. Consider looking for lots in emerging areas or secondary cities where land prices may be more budget-friendly.

4.&nbsp;Condominium Units in Emerging Areas:&nbsp;Look for condominium developments in emerging suburban areas where prices tend to be more budget-friendly. Condo units in these areas may start at around PHP 1.5 million to 2 million.

With careful financial planning, savings discipline, and potentially seeking additional income streams, you can work towards your goal of condo ownership. Keep in mind that owning a house and lot or a condo is a significant investment, and the effort you invest in building your financial stability will eventually pay off when you step into your own Metro Manila condominium.

&nbsp;

Scenario number 2&nbsp;

You earn PHP 60,000- 100,000 monthly and are considering buying a ready-for-occupancy condominium unit in Metro Manila priced at PHP 5 million.&nbsp;

 
Housing Costs: 
Down Payment (20%): 1 million PHP 
Loan Amount: 4 million PHP 
Monthly Amortization (30 years at 6% interest): PHP Approximately 24,148&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/HegyUvOIIBAs5JOSFMtkcO8I2f_rPsNlJOr-xmg_KcjpHgEqNzNcPjTMmsPV4P5sFkTDviq0hnKJpLwgbU0X_xZ8w0EbNTUV25vn9GWcR1__z8xy8CFlPDL3V0AafuMX-reoWxz2FqfjqgPLInBQEZU" style="height:259px; width:464px" /> 
With a monthly income of PHP 60,000-100,000 and an extra 20% in your income amounting to 30k to 50k, you have a comfortable margin to manage both your housing expenses and daily living costs while prioritizing savings and financial security. Buying a ready-for-occupancy property in Metro Manila with a monthly income of PHP 60,000 to 100,000 is realistic, given your income range. Here are the ready for occupancy condo that you might want to consider:

1.&nbsp;<a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/infina-towers">Infina Towers by DMCI:</a> Located right across the LRT 2 Anonas Station, Infina Towers offers an ideal place for startup families to raise and optimize their children&#39;s potential with.

The Grand Midori Construction Updates Unveiled

Selling your property is not as simple as posting the photos on social media or even marketing it to different people. It is more than just selling, just like any real estate transaction, it comes with specific requirements that you must meet to ensure a smooth and legal sale. In this blog, we&#39;ll delve into the essential prerequisites and provide tips for successfully selling your property in the Philippines.

1. Secure Property Ownership Documents

Before selling old house or unit, you must establish clear ownership. In the Philippines, this typically involves securing the following documents:

<ul>
	<li>Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT): This is the primary document that proves your ownership of land or a house and lot.</li>
	<li>Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT): If you&#39;re selling a condominium unit, you need the CCT, which functions similarly to the TCT but for condo units.</li>
	<li>Tax Declaration: This document reflects the assessed value of your property, which is essential for calculating taxes.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Make sure your titles and tax declarations are updated, accurate, and free from any encumbrances or legal issues.</h3>

If you&rsquo;re a seller based abroad, these are the additional documents you need:

<ul>
	<li>
	Special Power of Attorney if you will have a representative sign on your behalf
	</li>
	<li>Deed of Assignment of Rights (in the absence of a title for pre-selling properties, check with your developer if they will allow)</li>
	<li>Contract to Sell from your developer</li>
	<li>Latest Statement of Account</li>
</ul>

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/dp8XsSJiDppNbHNXXKjAg46si1Xp61JzStl-Viv-Rjmj9MrCt54oy1yrIK7c_-eWjbDTQWWD1qBSLyO1Q5cr-AAeaesiK4CSXsCYrL9epX5E8wd-GfdJme7gEoySqHLBQHKp2NZ7L2-qxYMABJsNsrA" style="height:231px; width:466px" /> 
 
2. Verify Property Taxes

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) in the Philippines requires you to settle any unpaid property taxes before selling your property. You must obtain a Certificate of No Delinquency from the BIR to confirm that you are tax-compliant.

3. Obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN)

Both the buyer and the seller must have a TIN for tax purposes. If you don&#39;t already have one, you can apply for a TIN from the BIR.

4. Secure a Barangay Clearance

In many Philippine localities, you&#39;ll need to obtain a Barangay Clearance, which is a document issued by the local barangay (neighborhood) office. This clearance certifies that there are no disputes or issues concerning the property within the barangay&#39;s jurisdiction.

5. Disclosure of Outstanding Mortgage

If you have an existing mortgage on your property, you must disclose it to potential buyers. The buyer will need to either assume the mortgage or settle it upon purchase. Ensure that your mortgage provider is aware of your intention to sell.

6. Prepare a Deed of Absolute Sale

The Deed of Absolute Sale (DOAS) is the legal document that transfers ownership from the seller to the buyer. A lawyer or notary public should draft this document, ensuring that all necessary details are included and that it adheres to Philippine laws. 
 
7. Hire a Licensed Real Estate Broker or Agent

In the Philippines, you are required to engage a licensed real estate broker or agent to facilitate the sale of your property. They will help you market your property, find potential buyers, and assist with the necessary paperwork.

8. Marketing Your Property

To attract potential buyers, market your property effectively. Use both traditional and online channels, such as classified ads, real estate websites like Signet Properties where you can upload unlimited listings fast and easy for free! Yes their website is just for free that&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s good for realtors or property owners like you to avoid extra costs. High-quality photos and accurate descriptions are crucial for generating interest.

9. Negotiate and Close the Deal

Once you receive offers, be prepared to negotiate terms, such as the selling price, payment method, and turnover date. Consult with your real estate broker or agent for guidance during negotiations.

10. Pay the Capital Gains Tax and Documentary Stamp Tax

When the sale is finalized, both the seller and buyer must pay the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and Documentary Stamp Tax (DST). These taxes are usually computed based on the selling price and specified rates.

After Closing the deal here&rsquo;s the documents you need to prepare:

<ul>
	<li>Letter of Intent from the buyer. This should include price, payment schedule, earnest money, and other terms and conditions.</li>
	<li>Contract to Sell</li>
	<li>Deed of Absolute Sale</li>
	<li>Endorsement Letter. This is given to the property/condo administration endorsing the property to the new owner.</li>
	<li>Certificate Authorizing Registration</li>
</ul>

Where do Millionaires live in the Philippines?

Condominiums have become a ubiquitous feature of the urban landscape in the Philippines, offering a modern and convenient lifestyle to many Filipinos. However, a persistent misconception has circulated that condominium ownership in the country is limited to a mere 50 years. In this blog post, we will delve into the reality behind this notion and explore the average lifespan of a condominium.

1. Do Condo Only Last for 50 years?

The belief that condominiums in the Philippines have only a 50-year ownership span is not entirely accurate. While it is true that some condominium developments include a leasehold term of 50 years, this practice is not a universal standard. Condominium ownership terms can vary widely based on legal, regulatory, financial, and planning considerations. 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Y51WhdmMR9GOWOUK31yjgGsaGs1tw148CdgtyzfUs6rc8XSY7XpWkvG90NfJXVDxyKAt9JxIrNMm_xLOEpz50OfNNYQkXRRUKeOVKVgGaBoFN1s0WTeKdOE_FzdjD4T6NgaKpZ3fvIbXAG2Nbu7X3Kg" style="height:392px; width:392px" /> 
 
2. Condominium rules and regulations Philippines

One of the contributing factors to the perception of a 50-year ownership span is the legal framework governing condominium ownership. While some local regulations or developers might choose to implement a 50-year leasehold, there is no blanket rule that mandates this duration. The Condominium Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 4726) provides the legal basis for condominium ownership, but it does not specify a fixed ownership span. Therefore, leasehold terms are subject to negotiation and agreement between developers and unit buyers.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/1Kok2uW2jxV-sjgqjZEGVdDq6Ze8XMV8M8XBrdSX2DqzAfqYJ_JXwnySS_SPD6SgMwYbWLAem5Iwyskb8UXMtbVxNo6mLlF5QRumBE13OB2QmA5570Axao1c-xqnVau5OgcU6t1t6XPccoabI-FwiHg" style="height:284px; width:284px" />

&nbsp;

3. Financial Considerations

The notion of a 50-year ownership span could be linked to financial calculations made by developers. A 50-year leasehold might provide developers with a sufficient period to recoup their investments and generate profits before considering the renewal or redevelopment of the property. However, this is not a strict rule, and many factors, including market demand and project feasibility, influence ownership terms.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/8Hv1zsCmA7ogICvUgY3OJns35XDBI3xbilMAC4dOT17Nxvmyx4RTJ2q0aAo2w_Y-jDR3kO7CIiPEg7N70nqo5EsV2XmAXy0VkZdkarRrirlJtEyxv-pL9vc7Pgniio1inZX0lOdBrLaVKntKu7nC_p0" style="height:334px; width:334px" /> 
 
4. Urban Planning and Adaptation

The misconception about a 50-year ownership span might also stem from considerations related to urban planning and property adaptation. As cities evolve and technologies advance, the needs and preferences of residents change. Take for example Smart home features and Green buildings&nbsp; like property development from <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/developer/arthaland-corporation">Arthaland</a> especially the <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/lucima-residences">Lucima Residences</a> in Cebu IT Park. Aside from that we have <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/le-pont-residences">Le Pont Residences</a> in Metro Manila developed by <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/developer/robinsons-land-corporation">Robinsons Land Corporation.</a> These developments promote sustainable development to ensure that properties remain adaptable to future trends and technological advancements.&nbsp;This approach could prevent properties from becoming outdated over time&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/SnCeIk8G4_qy7C1IQ_up1zx1KAF8pHY3hQMfIUmdjcHgiHjerFGnEuvq06nFph-_5ICJau976lDYpg-pDLuwhFMTU6QXEEoRoz0UFzgcS9aR7BZkVvLXrA1PE8uMJE8YCLEfckkldHK_xtYxNzCdvm0" style="height:293px; width:293px" /> 
 
5. Clarifying the Reality

It&#39;s important to emphasize that not all condominium properties in the Philippines adhere to a 50-year ownership span. Many condominium projects offer longer leasehold terms, and some even offer perpetual ownership. The specific terms of ownership are typically outlined in the condominium documents provided to buyers. Buyers should carefully review these documents and seek legal advice if needed to fully understand the terms and conditions of ownership. 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/WcFxaQ-xu54Fh1k2Z0sAt7M7uMyMhN_arMC_P16wlLJR-hFQUFi4KHyMEr4pCothLDOGCEnevTm2OOsb6mLXSNXSpNeU2_Hyoj0ru-ft8Zw5Ynp6LQ9kC3Aj16uNWLtdDc35GVDpRvJghuZ09qobRK0" style="height:288px; width:288px" /> 
 
The belief that condominium ownership in the Philippines is limited to a 50-year span is a misconception that has circulated for years. While some developments do feature a 50-year leasehold term, this is not a hard-and-fast rule. Condominium ownership terms vary based on legal, regulatory, financial, and urban planning considerations. As prospective buyers, it&#39;s crucial to do thorough research, read condominium documents, and consult legal experts to fully grasp the ownership terms of any condominium property.

Is it True that a Condo Building only lasts for 50 years? 

Finding the perfect home is an exciting endeavor, but for pet owners, it involves an additional layer of consideration. Being a smart pet owner in your home means not only creating a comfortable living space for yourself but also ensuring that your beloved furry friend feels welcome and safe. As you embark on your real estate journey, keep these essential tips in mind to find a <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy">pet-friendly condo</a> that caters to both your needs and those of your four-legged companion.

1. Prioritize Pet-Friendly Neighborhoods:

When searching for a new home, consider the pet-friendliness of the neighborhood. Prioritizing pet-friendly neighborhoods is not just about finding a place to live; it&#39;s about creating a home where both you and your furry companion can thrive. It fosters a sense of belonging, encouraging responsible pet ownership and promoting a harmonious coexistence between humans and their animal companions. So, if you&#39;re looking for the perfect place to call home, consider a pet-friendly neighborhood, and watch as you and your four-legged friend embrace a life of happiness, health, and cherished memories.

Look for areas with nearby parks, walking trails, or green spaces where you can take your pet for regular exercise and play. Additionally, inquire about local pet amenities such as grooming salons, veterinary clinics, and pet supply stores, as they can be beneficial in caring for your pet&#39;s needs.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/c5Y14Nn6a3EtWcoDkr0ROhpaYZlrnm9hRSSbfmJPpn6J-Al80KEAEkGZOe3hod2hNot0ux6Hq2Rh-qcaK_Y0pfwDWcKiCQ2-8lZqc3lTRFlo9FA8nFfZI_u04pIA-OtDfzoQD62l892KjdOz9p4SJ1M" style="height:380px; width:380px" /> 
&nbsp;

2. Check Property Regulations and Pet Policies:

Many housing communities and <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/rent">rental properties</a> have specific rules and regulations regarding pets. Check with your real estate agent or property management about pet policies, including breed restrictions, size limits, and the number of pets allowed. Some properties may require pet deposits or additional monthly fees, so it&#39;s essential to factor these into your budget. <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy">Check condominiums for sale near me.</a>

Understanding the rules and guidelines related to pets will help you make an informed decision and foster a community that embraces responsible pet ownership.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_BORU4wjw6Qb-WNraKDntfChtJhWBbBZAHUJ5KPWifF7e8ba4HilUVuzAm2V6GBDTsXXu0Zkii5pEwyPzVzLtTOk1vL_tEZE8y_EFmCSnE8xZ4N_MU-CXjG3IJzP-w0ACdDqmNry-hlEiJcoSKfmKaU" style="height:317px; width:317px" /> 
 
3. Evaluate the Outdoor Space:

A pet-friendly property should have a suitable outdoor space for your furry companion to roam and play. Consider the size of the backyard or the availability of nearby dog parks. A fenced yard can be a significant advantage, providing your pet with a secure area to enjoy the outdoors without you having to worry about their safety.

A pet-friendly environment not only ensures your pet&#39;s physical well-being but also enriches their mental and emotional health. As a responsible pet owner, taking the time to evaluate the outdoor space will lead to a rewarding living experience for both you and your beloved four-legged friend.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-hVObxQj23NCwbCFBHW6W1lFt5C880gYhJ5_gtXQHArPK-8oYF2hLxULF2GALMNiuBducEzxvGLW2Q5Zb2wJQ1agdbhAGa02seVINo-aWC4broefr6nu1t8EerZOBvXT4hmG0xi7G3CTCZ1aFuMyH8g" style="height:344px; width:344px" /> 
 
4. Pet-Proofing the Home:

Before moving in, ensure that the property is pet-proofed, whether it is a cat proof house or a dog proof house to prevent any accidents or potential hazards. Tuck away electrical cords, secure cabinets, and remove any toxic plants or substances that could harm your pet. If the property has hardwood floors, consider using area rugs to provide your pet with better traction, especially if they are older or have mobility issues.

By being proactive and thorough in identifying potential hazards, you can create a safe and happy haven for your furry friend. Remember that each pet is unique, and what may be safe for one might not be for another. Continuously assess your home from a pet&#39;s perspective to make necessary adjustments and provide an environment where your beloved companion can thrive. By taking the time and effort to pet-proof your home, you&#39;ll be rewarded with the joy of knowing that your pet is living in a secure and loving environment. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/o0tT-hs2mo0Vt2LcqIOsMpnIUoaCInoVIixr-jufMRgwj8Y20kMfmoJWyGBCISi8ThuFQ5iqBygtGicJg7QkU5R5FVaXZaqNPP_m0ezxnU12NNOcQVoyQMvTwpFL43r2SWyEQ_aJe028oBCY38xB3a8" style="height:312px; width:312px" /> 
 
5. Assess Nearby Amenities:

A smart pet owner seeks a home that is conveniently located near pet-friendly amenities. Look for pet-friendly cafes, restaurants, and pet stores within a reasonable distance from your new home. This way, you can easily integrate your pet into your daily activities and create a more enriched lifestyle for both of you.&nbsp;

Socialization opportunities, easy access to pet supplies and veterinary services, and participation in pet-related events contribute to a happy and fulfilling life for your pet.

Buying a property is a significant milestone in the lives of young couples. It represents a step towards financial stability, independence, and building a future together. However, before diving into the world of real estate, it is essential for young couples to carefully consider various factors to ensure a well-informed decision.&nbsp;

By taking the time to thoroughly assess these considerations and seeking professional advice when necessary, young couples can embark on their homeownership journey with confidence and lay a strong foundation for a prosperous future together.

This blog aims to highlight key considerations that young couples should keep in mind before purchasing their first property.

1. Define Your Goals and Financial Situation:

Before embarking on the property hunt, it is crucial for young couples to establish their goals and evaluate their financial situation. Discuss your long-term plans, such as career aspirations, family goals, and lifestyle preferences. Consider factors like the desired location, property size, and amenities required. Assess your combined income, savings, and budget to determine how much you can comfortably afford. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/yKoCGzMc7tJt1OvV0GusmaXwU813c67_A-IYm4Cihan1jWqEUQ0i6XZQ6E4z-m2vr4mbXuOZ-yWebski2iCbQaCpM8lw3ev5r27xjRvwtAJxgoqb0RLypMMlrW04nc0zsmFkLEMT4EcXFJ9xPOsqyg4" style="height:325px; width:325px" /> 
&nbsp;

2. Develop a Realistic Budget:

Buying a property involves financial commitments beyond the purchase price. Consider additional costs like down payment, closing costs, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance expenses. Create a comprehensive budget that includes all these aspects, ensuring that your monthly mortgage payments align with your income and other financial obligations.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k4bKU2TFyxZUVmCYYo6spru6uxet_Z-TDd4C41pyaQu6_lht8Ktsvr0GoXMi6IZ2cM3BwWRIh68rw8auBYyMXxNuKyBGR6Ljz71FgrJsKo3Yy2e_n4dz4w56UB4EiK_bq6s7PNzOEFeUKU1n9RxUZ4" style="height:277px; width:277px" />

3. Research Mortgage Options:

Understanding mortgage options is essential for young couples. Explore different types of mortgages, interest rates, down payment requirements, and loan terms. Consult with financial institutions or mortgage brokers to compare offers and choose the most suitable option. Consider the implications of fixed or variable interest rates, as well as the potential impact of changes in the housing market. 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/UVz--GlKSPJ3_F6VxyPWroyVvDXL--h129HlkIy0sOUOpJn0S-ProqwZqVoUTsaYg8kPPx9n7_felSoYMDT41VHb8jQFHaHmQzUS7xablDPwkogwetEfpRRtwd-2-5G4j7PdPU4VL4Jl-LB3nn3KkSI" style="height:315px; width:315px" /> 
 
4. Location and Future Development:

The location of your property plays a vital role in its value and your lifestyle. Evaluate the neighborhood for its safety, proximity to amenities, schools, transportation, and future development plans. Research the area&#39;s property market trends and growth potential. Additionally, consider the commute to work and the availability of recreational activities and community facilities that align with your interests.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/3Elt01JsmdptWwceIR03pHzsG3etqt8JCfPY1NEp7ZduuSdWYYMsQutvoT5kc26Ins4X9TDL-dC7AapBD9ziIjgRgY3J9-o9VYI9Y15a48ogubm8G3q8wNKJzNXvF7HSw1yg6ppnQAxB8jP1h90a8Lc" style="height:303px; width:303px" /> 
 
5. Property Type and Size:

Determine the type and size of property that suits your current and future needs. Discuss preferences regarding apartments, townhouses, or detached houses. Consider factors like the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, parking space, storage options, and the potential for expansion or modifications in the future. 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/rrRVgtmnyShtWZgaTmeM0YXyv-O-PaLHPgLu89671uiEQBrzg7ILbcBXNzTX2NrUSPnjlgyip0sXhCQyFYYqEy-BYSwkuZOlffto0QsYkq3xTz4ASEzvOxmUPj3o2xGgk99Uj7kgDfGoDvvtR0XtHtI" style="height:348px; width:348px" /> 
&nbsp;

6. Homeownership Responsibilities:

Owning a property comes with responsibilities and costs beyond the mortgage. Take into account maintenance, repairs, renovations, and utility expenses. Consider your lifestyle and whether you have the time, skills, and financial capacity to handle these responsibilities or if hiring professionals is more practical. Evaluating these factors will help you gauge the total cost of homeownership.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/gposkOcZmT2C3ikIzxOg2D_mnZ0xysuweaR_uYa_-pb87LgbfgrdZI-mn4sdEUpphKcx51abkqAClRFoyaXEse3DHtHzhse8pAskCGsF-mF96sPvbuEi4ohd3D4_XQo0LZkTVUDCJo4jY9pBIiqRw4U" style="height:348px; width:348px" /> 
 
7. Engage Professionals:

Consider engaging professionals to help you throughout the process. A real estate agent can guide you in finding suitable properties, negotiating deals, and handling paperwork. Consult with a lawyer to review legal documents, contracts, and potential risks. Additionally, consider hiring a home inspector to assess the property&#39;s condition and identify any potential issues before making a final decision.

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/t-GUK9eMrY4YJ9qoeIPHBxUbLmqAaNoOVKjCU8leSwzVsu9O6o3M-tw6pNuT_FpbzFd2FfWLXuXcD6LD4UeZjYTq8rGJx6GfjL2knPiYTLyV5rdKNQVXTIFuRuORCWiikCBLp8WrSdz_Pctu3QXuSiY" style="height:360px; width:360px" />

Spacious 9-Bedroom House in Prime Location: Your Dream Home in Quezon City

Are you struggling to turn your leads into paying customers? Well, it&#39;s a common challenge faced by real estate agents or brokers and there are two things you need to know about how to handle Facebook leads from your <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/contact">paid ads.</a>

First you need to remember that most of your <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/contact">Facebook leads</a> are genuinely interested in your <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy">property</a>, or they wouldn&rsquo;t have bothered leaving their contact details for you to reach out to them. Another thing that is crucial is that Facebook leads are also incredibly time-sensitive, so if you reach out a few hours or days later, they likely won&rsquo;t even remember what your ad was about.

Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to improve your conversion rates. In this blog post, we&#39;ll explore six (6) steps you can follow to turn your leads into paying customers.

1. Contact your leads real time

Research shows that the chances of connecting with leads within the first 5 minutes are 100 times greater than after 30 minutes (Oldroyd, 2007). A quick response is essential for every person or any business using Facebook lead ads as it will ensure a better chance of lead conversion with a 50% probability. Furthermore, you have already paid an amount of money to use this feature, therefore, you should not disregard the leads who have already gotten in touch with you or your page. There is minimal to no chance of getting your money back and making a profit in such a situation.

Having a person assigned to monitor and interact with your leads in real time will help you garner sales and reach in the future. You can also take advantage of AI or automated chatbots to help you maximize the hassle of personally answering unimportant or unnecessary queries that can waste your time. In addition, quickly replying to your clients allows them to have retention in your business and will feel accommodated, which helps you to entice them to be actual customers. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/PaUcakhlZtZ4wJ8zei0HV9aIlOV1OGYF4684oz1a-nP22ysLThCZ7OWMmmF0ZMhf8vh5IQzJK_NqwUjqMje4-cKGe277uEInIpBx1E1qk8garYsMNa1ZCE6FX9JtYwAcG_xaLF0KGttEf0rqMqKw2ak" style="height:405px; width:405px" /> 
 
2. Contact leads on the right channels&nbsp;

Contacting leads on the right channel matters. Firstly, it ensures that your message reaches the right audience. Different demographics and customer segments use different channels to communicate and consume content. For example, younger generations are more likely to use social media like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, while older generations may prefer email or phone calls. By targeting the right channels, you can tailor your message to the specific audience you are trying to reach.

Secondly, contacting leads on the right channels can improve response rates. If you reach out to a lead on a channel that they are not actively using or don&#39;t prefer, they are less likely to engage with your message. This can result in wasted time and resources. However, if you reach out on a channel that the lead is actively using and prefers, they are more likely to respond positively.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/vzlb2fNZrKBnmRDIoNEhacHqx_lcQLQOQrAVYNTbKj2-zJ_jJ1WHWG1Hto_w7aC-ddbA-pYFfSaIbclbNRX0Vgb2nHict33yA14Wj8jXBped9PeTapCmVP0V70RRbzw0bwx7xELqL_9TSH7ltqBj_2s" style="height:258px; width:458px" />

3. Nurture your leads

Not all leads are ready to buy right away. Some may need more time to consider their options or may be in the early stages of the buying process. It&#39;s essential to nurture these leads by providing them with relevant and helpful content that moves them closer to making a purchase. You can do this through email marketing, social media, or other channels. By providing value and building relationships with your leads, you increase the chances of them becoming paying customers in the future. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/7pq0399bHOt_EfeWDYvwMIR8YZUiQkBYe0iXHpP0BDsJAcdzkl8-ThBs6nCdO_KWArA22hIxYxgwM9iwQ8ycFWt5FI6bsPPoaA47MKk4SPF6NcQPl7nnTLmt3_fRFw03-ZsWTm9c1Fc10lg9EM2pySA" style="height:250px; width:444px" />

Trust is crucial when it comes to turning leads into paying customers. People are more likely to buy from businesses they trust. There are several ways to build trust with your leads. One way is to provide social proof, such as customer testimonials, case studies, or reviews. Another way is to offer guarantees, such as a money-back guarantee or a free trial period. By providing social proof and guarantees, you can demonstrate your confidence in your product or service and build trust with your leads.

4. Personalize your messages

Sending generic messages that start with &ldquo;Dear Sir/Madam&rdquo; is a surefire way to get ignored, reported as spam, and blocked. Instead, your first message should include the lead&rsquo;s name and the product or service they&rsquo;re interested in, all within the first 10 words. This ensures that they recognise what the chat is about from the notification preview on their phone, without even having to click to view the full message.&nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ODgFC64a-ICQEd7E3cJGv0IsWvleWcN7LyQU44INpPTKAEsj56s043_vMvoynmZKt6GFCH132qTD8MS9lnZyfxR23C9p8A4zSNr47eXKNQEPwH9MnOE4CrSLAU-qcxP4fqVjQ1yHL01RqDezRZlkboQ" style="height:214px; width:380px" />

5. Make it easy to buy

One of the most significant barriers to converting leads into paying customers is a complicated buying process. If it&#39;s too difficult or confusing for leads to make a purchase, they may abandon the process altogether. To prevent this, make it as easy as possible for leads to buy from you. Simplify your checkout process, offer multiple payment options, and make sure your website is mobile-friendly. By removing obstacles and making it easy for leads to buy, you increase the chances of them becoming paying customers.

As much as possible, build your website or application user-friendly and avoid too many pop-ups for ads that could distract or irritate them, leading to them not buying at all. Testing your platform to prevent run-downs affecting its stability and functionality is vital. Provide your clients with a good-running website and service for them to become your loyal customers.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-SzM1pAknkAS4AqLXiAsEjWdvpRmxJpwLRkHZttob5S73MsPhNfYJFGxJUgiefIWf6QyAs44gTX5hTceiGmBBCJQG0PFSTFUf0501jpE8PG1jFnkkJecaGwbBJ_LHBihyhR2FHNZPKVbHZFjSAbWbpU" style="height:257px; width:458px" />

6. Follow up

Following up with your leads is crucial for turning them into paying customers. After a lead has expressed interest in your product or service, follow up with them to answer any questions they may have and provide additional information. If they don&#39;t make a purchase right away, continue to follow up with them over time to keep your business top of mind.&nbsp;

By staying in touch and building relationships with your leads, you increase the chances of them becoming paying customers in the future. Furthermore, this strategy is a way of gaining their trust and keeping their interest in the offering. If they deem that a seller did not just post the ads for nothing, then it will convince them to buy your product or service, and they may also recommend you to their friends, family, and colleagues in the future that have the same needs and wants. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/O8Y39wAlW40AG4ZxEOfuFYoxvNF4iijCOuZJN_QG3ZJfkAmIMzfk8kO9aqCTZGx_unrCItIEQ1OuJlSfzHa3x02VQ1TcN7BYom5BCfCTri_C7pcVWGNfR3WCyWYL9zjiIOaE1CusAdruggs2NczxbbU" style="height:339px; width:339px" />

In conclusion, converting leads into paying customers takes time and effort, but it&#39;s essential for the success of your business. By understanding your audience, building trust, nurturing your leads, making it easy to buy, and following up, you can increase your conversion rates and grow your business. So start implementing these steps today and watch your business thrive.

Along with the aforementioned steps, you should also check your lead generation update as frequently as you can because it will help you determine where you are falling short when it comes to reaching your audiences and analyze what you still need to do to be able to generate your anticipated profit and convert leads into actual customers. To avoid taking a lot of time and hassle doing it manually, which may take an array of your resources, you may also utilize or find reliable platforms to monitor and alert you of your leads every time there is a new one.

Make sure you take high-quality photos that showcase the best features of your property. Use a good camera, and take photos during the day when natural light is at its best. Be sure to include photos of all the rooms, the exterior of the property, and any unique features that set your property apart. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/zc_MwjKMdkitHRfY5ps8ZlWS9nBqQZRzk_nRkdmFsUpFW84oyKNV2swg1E7ZlSh3YNfF_-ESCKaNT2Yxza515GuLOJYUgDA3BKLs7CoTe_uL8EAT5_FrKrnNtfGrsMj1OWW_NoNFWy6QWmskAAug8uA" style="height:227px; width:274px" /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/zkJDsCrrQ_2V_jvQJHwEeTy0eRGjVJt6n7bo3h7YyogNGFgZ4DOv4VsOwNeLWivFWijXCTp0UsPum_HFX-t_5cgHEVsBXfkAi52-w83hXXwYtRyh2K2YmjpBM0AEqHgx0oBRicT2ZowyvQ40gsz3ITA" style="height:227px; width:276px" />

As the first generation to grow up with technology at their fingertips, their preferences for homes differ from previous generations. In this blog, we will discuss what Generation Z wants in a <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy">home.</a>

Generation Z&rsquo;s preferences when it comes to choosing their homes:

Smart home technology: Generation Z is a tech-savvy generation, and they expect their homes to be equipped with the latest smart home technology. From voice-activated assistants to smart thermostats, security systems, and lighting, they want their homes to be efficient, convenient, and tech-enabled. Given that Gen Z is also known as the &quot;generation of sustainability,&quot; they frequently seek for features that they believe will enable them to live more sustainably.

<a href="https://signetproperties.ph/developer/robinsons-land-corporation">Robinsons Land Corporation&#39;s</a> newest project, <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/le-pont-residences">Le Pont Residences</a> and <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/the-sapphire-bloc">Sapphire Bloc</a>, are two highly promising condominiums that boast advanced smart-home features. These new developments are part of a growing trend in the real estate industry, which seeks to integrate innovative technology into residential properties to enhance the quality of living for residents. This allows residents to control various aspects of their homes remotely, using their smartphones or other mobile devices. For instance, they can adjust the temperature, turn lights on and off, or even lock and unlock doors with just a few taps on their phone. This level of convenience and control has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially among tech-savvy millennials and young professionals.

Open floor plans: Generation Z prefers open floor plans that allow for a seamless flow between different areas of the home. They want homes with spaces that can be customized to fit their needs, such as open living areas that can double as a workspace or entertainment area. If we compare the housing styles of earlier generations, we will see a clash between minimalism and extravagance.&nbsp;

If you are in the market for a new home with an open floor plan, <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/the-empress-at-capitol-commons">The Empress at Capitol Commons</a> is a great option to consider. This residential development is known for its spacious units, which offer ample room for a wide variety of living arrangements.

One of the main advantages of an open floor plan is the sense of spaciousness it provides. This layout typically features a large, open living space that combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas into one cohesive area. This allows for more natural light to flow throughout the space, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.&nbsp;<a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/the-empress-at-capitol-commons">Empress at Capitol Commons</a> takes this concept to the next level, offering units that are designed with an open-concept layout that maximizes both space and functionality.

Energy-efficient features: Sustainability is a priority for Generation Z, and they want their homes to reflect that. Energy-efficient features such as solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and high-efficiency HVAC systems are all desirable features for this generation.

<a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/lucima-residences">Lucima Residences</a> by <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/developer/arthaland-corporation">Arthaland</a> is an excellent option to consider if you&#39;re looking for an energy-efficient home.

Low maintenance: With busy lifestyles, Generation Z wants homes that require low maintenance. Homes with durable materials and easy-to-clean finishes are preferred, and they are also looking for outdoor spaces that are low-maintenance, such as patios and small gardens. Despite the perception that Gen Z is a tech-dependent and lethargic generation, they just want to focus their energies on more important matters. With their varied lifestyles and daily obligations&mdash;some of them hold down 1-2 jobs, while others are enrolled in school while working&mdash;they undoubtedly lack the time to maintain their homes and residences. To cut down on cleaning time, they frequently pick homes and furnishings with low-maintenance features.

Flexibility: Generation Z values flexibility, and they want homes that can adapt to their changing needs. For example, they may want a home with an extra room that can be used as a home office, guest room, or nursery as their needs change. They only chose practical homes that give adequate room for them to utilize in various circumstances, rather than making use of larger houses for their consumption. People today are more inventive when it comes to how they will build their homes for various needs. For instance, if your home only has a little amount of space and you want to host a party there, you may rearrange your furniture in your living room and create more space for the event by doing so.

<a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/la-vida">La Vida</a> in Pasay is an excellent example of a residential development that offers flexible homes designed to meet the needs of a modern family.&nbsp; It features a wide range of living spaces that are customizable to fit different lifestyles and living arrangements, making it an excellent choice for families in search of a comfortable and convenient living environment.

Proximity to amenities: Generation Z prioritizes convenience and accessibility, and they want homes that are located near amenities such as shopping centers, restaurants, and entertainment venues. They prefer walkable neighborhoods with access to public transportation. Gen Z prioritizes convenience above all else and strives to avoid consuming excessive amounts of time and energy by doing things as quickly and efficiently as possible, as indicated in the categories above. Being close to establishments is necessary for them since some of them are more of an instant-life type who expects things to be nearby and accessible immediately. So, the more the property your selling is located in walkable establishments, the more likely it is for a Gen Z to avail it.

Well we all know that <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/developer/smdc">SMDC</a> is a famous condo when it comes to proximity. One of the main advantages of their condominiums is their proximity to key locations. The company&#39;s developments are strategically located in some of the most desirable areas of the city, offering easy access to a wide range of amenities and services, such as shopping malls, restaurants, schools, hospitals, and transportation hubs.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/gJT9VK6Teo62Y9JlXwS_KG37DzitJ4XN2Q5LdA7AYteUrbo0Q_i0q0eQAISa27TizzBw8QatNhLAQw7Yr3wyTJloSEoCyweHrBmeBU3UjGeq53tP4Nj1Fk1en45H0oGuZlKe1uoojTV0hSFMI9INW0c" style="height:288px; width:670px" />

Community: Gen Z is looking for homes that offer a sense of community. They want to be able to connect with their neighbors and have access to shared amenities such as pools, gyms, and parks. Most members of Generation Z have an outgoing, extroverted attitude. While they prefer to acquire ideas and enjoy exploring new things, they enjoy interacting with individuals of all ages. They also desired to experience a sense of belonging and a desire to be a part of whatever they believed to be right.

When it comes to Community, <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/developer/ayala-land-premier">Ayala Land</a> is known for its commitment in building sustainable communities. Ayala Land&#39;s sustainable communities are not only environmentally-friendly but also socially inclusive. The company places a strong emphasis on building communities that foster a sense of belonging and community spirit among its residents. Its developments are designed to be walkable and bikeable, with plenty of open spaces for residents to interact and engage in outdoor activities.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/RwVAWU5wA2Gnpu1ZiDaNZyhvmUZoZRvyfODdqhOg0AxNOFwo1L4vXlaYu4W2EcB9zWOeIAAxcHQoOLbnyqfcfaKfTXW0vnMMEJu7A1rw2cqGR3Y-sGxhXQN_WamVV9yyooeR8oWabZOzsB2tIXqLG04" style="height:408px; width:487px" /> 
You now have a general idea of how to market your properties to Gen Z as you know all the preferences they have for their homes. While they may have come from various upbringings, these people share many of the same thoughts and attitudes because they frequently consult one another before taking a risky action. Also, it&#39;s crucial to find out what they individually prefer before making a proposal because most people have preferences of their own and may not entirely value your viewpoint.

Generation Z tastes in choosing a home are shaped by their experiences and values. They want homes that are smart, sustainable, low-maintenance, flexible, and conveniently located. As this generation enters the real estate market, builders and developers need to take these preferences into account to cater to their evolving needs. Understanding these differences can help real estate developers and agents create homes that meet the evolving needs of the next generation of homebuyers. Real estate sellers should understand their unique preferences inorder to tailor their marketing strategies and create homes that appeal to this emerging trends.&nbsp;

Talking about investors, people are now noticing the potential of Pampanga. The combination of a favorable business environment, strong economic growth, and exciting new developments make Pampanga a city to watch in the Philippines.

 
1. Strategic Location: One of the biggest advantages of investing in Pampanga is its strategic location. Pampanga is located in the heart of Central Luzon, making it easily accessible from both the northern and southern parts of the Philippines. It is also home to Clark International Airport, which serves as a gateway to the rest of Asia and the world. This strategic location makes Pampanga an ideal destination for businesses and tourists alike, which in turn drives demand for real estate. Further, this province also has the potential to be the next Metro Manila of the Philippines as developers want to neutralize the congestion happening in the NCR, resulting in high pollution rates and high competition between businesses.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/I0irfdHLx0L8pprvGZNstZfNE6FsgYPqS_gwvwgFaigCawJKsF6LTKx4azE0TvxI1ILaJ_Nj3bx64gaIV_qN5hAZji708IzrMFQ4JO9D-un41sRMGFaTATfE_WTlA8Cd5qSL57MaCwvm4dL-dmtzczU" style="height:286px; width:571px" />

2. Booming Economy: Pampanga&#39;s economy is growing at a rapid pace. The province has become a hub for the manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism, all of which contribute to the region&#39;s economic growth. In fact, Pampanga is one of the fastest-growing provinces in the country, with a GDP growth rate of 8.3% in 2020. Thus, one proof of why Pampanga should be on your list for your next investment is that for two consecutive years, one of its main cities, San Fernando, garnered the title of Most Competitive City. It only means that the province can live up to your expectations and help you navigate your investment to its full potential! This robust economic growth translates to increased demand for housing, commercial spaces, and other real estate properties.

3. Rich Cultural Heritage: Pampanga is known for its rich cultural heritage, with a history that spans centuries. If you classify yourself as a sentimental and historical heritage person, Pampanga is the one for you! The province is home to numerous historical and cultural landmarks, such as the San Guillermo Parish Church and the Santa Catalina de Alejandria Parish Church. Pampanga is also famous for its cuisine, considered one of the best in the Philippines. Aside from its moniker, Christmas Capital of the Philippines, the province is also known for its extravagant and various types of festivities that compete with other regions in the tourism sector. The rich cultural heritage of Pampanga makes it an attractive destination for tourists, which drives demand for real estate properties. Since there are several festivals in the province, such as the Hot Air Balloon Festival, many foreign and local tourists fluctuate, making them stay in the location for a day or so. This is why investing here is a great opportunity, as you can build your own business catering to those tourists.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/x79frF0tKVeA6uwlpDbBOWnBHo5I2Yyi58_9mSqNS_EjMqB4XLDsjHCwS63XMOMI6nu5XPlymjC4-6YFw8tLSxwdxyKEyzot1m_U20qqnkotVVBZgxNqILTnm-6gI4biWyVkAVmRaYCXMh2Mqj4fD_Q" style="height:266px; width:532px" /> 
4. Affordable Real Estate Prices: Compared to other hotspots for real estate investment in the Philippines, such as Metro Manila and Cebu, Pampanga offers relatively affordable real estate prices. This presents a lucrative opportunity for investors looking to enter the market at a lower cost. Moreover, with the growing demand for real estate in the province, there is a high potential for property values to increase in the future. The province has a lot of potential under its sleeves, ranging from its cultural necessities to the real estate field, if you would look and study further about Pampanga, it has very affordable real estate prices right now because currently the investors and other real estate enthusiasts are more focus on the National Capital Region (NCR) being the center of commerce in the country, meaning, Pampanga and other neighboring regions are getting set aside because of their location. However, several developers and investors see the Philippine provinces, like Pampanga and Cebu, as developing-worthy locations. Hence, we must take into account that since there is still low demand in the province then, real estate prices are still quite affordable and attainable. Therefore, you must keep your eye on this province as it will soon have its offerings at higher prices.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/6dZGcLTTured64pyPQYCLqOdLVwX3225aVAibY6aQq4c5G6ldbXmTrZ5xHjToVh5BqrTkD1fhmh3AweUE-_84kW3E6GjaVB5L603F4tVw_lE3lviRtZroIJzTgaupEIn6S94Zwq-mkzwAbCHcpDzT9o" style="height:389px; width:389px" />

This trend is expected to continue, making Pampanga an attractive location for investors looking for a high return on their investment. Moreover, since Metro Manila is now classified as a highly congested part of the archipelago, many investors, buyers, and developers are eyeing the province as their preferred destination of property investment. Hence, real estate persons aim to maximize and increase the value of the properties in the said location so that lots of potential clients and developers will be interested and make it a successful real estate hotspot. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/JukmpmzqVcy6PEJQhAYpNqK5atPFLrLx1_RVJgqCqMyXMuv8wMWXYkZGIA4KaXfwpvt8n6vHjZpNrpJJXCT2ggkUVdQokYSWJxSdnEsb_27NuLdXnO1LG_MkgYLcyu4MmFiq8TSbiFy__yhfXgkb4ks" style="height:366px; width:366px" />

Why Pampanga is a Wise Investment Choice for Real Estate Investors

Affordable housing is a significant concern for many first-time buyers in the Philippines, especially given the rising costs of real estate in major cities. However, there are a range of affordable housing options that can help aspiring homeowners get on the property ladder.

Here in the Philippines, affordability is often the most critical factor that affects Filipino Families in finding a home because of the budget constraints. Many buyers simply cannot afford to buy a more expensive property that is why they look for affordable options to fit within their budget. Low cost homes also help buyers save money on monthly mortgage payments and utility bills, allowing them to allocate their funds towards other expenses or savings.

Practicality is another factor that motivates buyers to look for affordable housing. For instance, buyers who are starting a family may need to prioritize their expenses and may opt for affordable housing options that allow them to meet their other financial obligations. Similarly, buyers who are in the early stages of their careers may choose affordable housing options as they work towards building their financial stability.

 
Affordable Housing Options that you might choose from:&nbsp;

1. Pag-IBIG Housing: One option is to consider socialized housing programs like the Pag-IBIG Fund&#39;s Affordable Housing Program, which offers low-interest financing options and lower down payment requirements to eligible applicants. The program is designed to provide affordable housing to low- to middle-income Filipinos, and offers a range of home options, including townhouses, condominiums, and single-family homes.&nbsp;

The agency was created to address the country&#39;s housing backlog, which has been a major challenge for many Filipino families. The Pag-IBIG Fund helps address this issue by offering low-interest housing loans to its members, which can be used to finance the purchase, construction, or renovation of a home.

In addition to providing housing financing options, the Pag-IBIG Fund also offers other programs and services to help its members achieve their homeownership goals. This includes financial education programs, savings programs, and other resources designed to help Filipinos build financial stability and improve their chances of owning a home.&nbsp;

Overall, the Pag-IBIG Fund&#39;s focus on providing affordable housing options is part of a broader effort by the Philippine government to address the country&#39;s housing challenges and improve the standard of living for its citizens.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/rsJvZbWMA1C-x2Vh7wNbNW9v3HFK_0dQzUv3a_lTnnU6G3Hncb4SMjLgijQfc_5Xj2ZB0gTwpg96lg5PSx0Jvd1ZHWfeY-3ok8RuYruI3pyU3C7cSmtBIR7TCUCcLFcq9b3BDCx0RKR5bv2aQANNz7U" style="height:388px; width:388px" />

2. Properties Outside Major Urban Areas: Another option is to look for properties outside major urban areas, where land and construction costs are typically lower. These areas often have lower home prices, and with some effort, research, and connections, it is possible to find homes that offer a good balance between location, accessibility, and affordability. Locations like <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Angeles%20City/Clark%20Special%20Economic%20Zone">Pampanga</a>, <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Cavite%20City">Cavite</a>, <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Calamba%20City">Laguna</a>, <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Batangas%20City">Batangas</a>, <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Bulacan">Bulacan</a>, and <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Antipolo%20City">Rizal</a> are areas with easy access to Metro Manila, but it still has lower house prices compared to other properties for sale. With these locations&rsquo; buyers can enjoy low-cost homes with the benefits of living in the countryside that provides fresh air and environment, as well as the fact that it&rsquo;s not that far away from the Urban City, which means that they can still work in Metro Manila. 
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 
<a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/avida-settings-alviera">Avida Settings Alviera</a> is laid out to reinforce low cost houses with the natural world&rsquo;s presence in a modern day-to-day setting. A good investment as it is envisioned to be the growth center of Central Luzon. You don&rsquo;t need to worry as it is easily accessible from SCTEX. With a transport hub and Clark International Airport just nearby, your options for going places are as plenty as you need them to be. Pampanga is one to two hours of drive away from Manila; actually, anywhere from the metro. There is no shortage of transportation modes too so you&rsquo;d get to the place in no time.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/TbasZ2ZPf1K540aUhN2u3r62SlG4BsJhi-d0IuZFRnPPqpmLRWcAc_rDRT6G55q3HJWM2b1aQM8rBiSYECY-lfadN9aVdytRiJ2tj0QhAnZOkcgwzP4oAcrj7d-xLIh9S9zYYgFxmOEQMf_4YV1pxG0" style="height:371px; width:496px" />

3. Pre-Selling Properties: Buyers can also consider purchasing a pre-selling property, which means buying a property before it is completed. Pre-selling properties are usually affordable and less expensive compared to ready for occupancy units, this is for the reason that it&rsquo;s still in the process of construction but after the turn over the property value rises which in return can offer significant savings, as developers often offer discounts during the pre-selling phase, and the buyer can also choose the unit or lot with the best price and location.

During the pre-selling phase, developers offer the property for sale before construction is completed. This allows them to generate revenue before construction is finished, which can help cover some of the upfront costs associated with building the property. Lower prices for pre-selling properties is the fact that the price of real estate can&nbsp;increase over time. By purchasing a property during the pre-selling phase, buyers may be able to lock in a lower price and potentially benefit from the property&#39;s appreciation in value over time.

Properties like <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/atharra-suites">Atharra Suites</a>&nbsp;developed by Atharra Primeland is an affordable pre-selling property just located in Panglao Bohol where you can enjoy the island vibe and activities without spending too much. Aside from that it&rsquo;s perfect for investment as the City&rsquo;s Tourism continues to boost. &nbsp;To add more, the property provides relaxing amenities and valuable facilities that other less expensive hotels can&#39;t, yet is easy access to our guests&#39; basic needs, safety, security, and leisure.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/899-C3bGpxH0777n6mTPt-h4EmIfNwSFgUhQ9kMwo2OtoscEtwEE5R4hCid1roEw-PumWblLUkb3QPl-TOFBt3HPQtnpMQChi3vza93gicy8hfHSoat7oj4qqH_hsXGKtPNgltswz5DzdN6PCMzu6yE" style="height:351px; width:624px" />

4. Rent-to-own: another option for affordable housing is to look into rent-to-own schemes, which allow the buyer to rent a property with the option to purchase it at the end of the rental period. This can be an ideal option for those who cannot afford a down payment, as it allows them to save up for the purchase while renting the property. Aside from that, it typically involves lower upfront costs and more flexible payment terms, which is an advantage to the buyer&rsquo;s side. Moreover, taking this option will surely benefit the occupant for the time being away from paying the monthly house taxes as the property owner will still shoulder it. Additionally, residing in this type of scheme gives the renter a chance to try and test all the amenities and weigh the things that can bring them the pros and cons of living there.

Rent-to-own properties like <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/listing/urban-deca-homes-2-bedroom-condominium-unit-for-sale-in-rosario-pasig-city-20024">Urban Deca Homes in Ortigas Pasig </a>are also an option if you want cheap but quality properties in Metro Manila. It is the latest residential mid-rise condominium development with 1.3 hectares allocation for open spaces. It provides larger units, more open spaces and wider roads at this prime location. It is known for its strategic location as it&#39;s along the major road towards Ortigas CBD and EDSA.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/B3ARY9C05HQAm47Vbz9083YKIeYgA4UteMXfqB5OFTxzuaOS5ClWI2eR7B3PfOFLyWs4apAg5WS4rhhJXZB6BGe1Pqt7FfbsdXIDyPuOS83xa-JQDmXR4z33vS7bp7_ktvyCvmfYZP9bsJfQhwEl5Gw" style="height:406px; width:533px" />

5. For Assume Properties: The &ldquo;pasalo properties&rdquo; function similarly to taking on someone else&#39;s mortgage payment while also paying the actual selling price of the property. This is usually less expensive because the owners want to get rid of the property as soon as possible. This means you are paying the value that the owner is paying without taking into account the current market value. Sometimes there are property owners that mark down their property in order to quickly sell it as they can&rsquo;t afford to continue the monthly amortization. This just signifies why &ldquo;assume or pasalo&rdquo; units are much cheaper than that of the units sold by the developers.

Example of this is our recently listed property the <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/listing/vista-gl-taft-studio-bedroom-condominium-unit-for-sale-in-taft-avenue-pasay-city-19575">Vista GL Taft&nbsp;</a>located in Taft Avenue which is a mixed office and residential high-rise condominium development of Vista Residences in Ermita, Manila. With its contemporary design, the tower speaks of what&rsquo;s young and innovative, bringing about a taste of the good life found in its modern-day amenities

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ojtHbQ4M0Ymt5PEBoRtoDArYxgdQzcYk8CS45BQYmdxQEUXqmwpnEaF_QM7ojXy279mszYLQa7A8WV3N4ui_JGM5E9CGtdZu3UB7kSWPS1X0VIgGPWnqSEBVYbfy4BGlWEz83fimeoW7fHGxBzBY0-s" style="height:416px; width:416px" />

Henceforth, there are several social media pages and websites where different property owners list their pasalo properties, but it is still necessary to be a careful and diligent buyer because fraudsters are rampant nowadays.

6. Foreclosed properties: &nbsp;These are often sold at lower prices than market value. You can check with banks and other financial institutions to see if they have any foreclosed properties for sale. They are often affordable because they have been repossessed by either the bank or other financing institution after the previous owner failed to make mortgage payments. When this happens, the bank wants to recoup their losses as quickly as possible, so they may sell the property at a much lower price than its market value. This is the reason why foreclosed properties are attractive to buyers who are looking for a good deal in a home. However, while foreclosed properties may be more affordable, they also come with risks. Most of these properties require repair and renovations.

There are several affordable housing options available for first-time buyers in the Philippines. It is essential to explore different financing options, look for properties in the right locations and consider different arrangements that would fit their financial capacity and lifestyle. With the right research, planning and advice, owning a home is an attainable goal for many first-time buyers in the Philippines. Always take in mind that it&rsquo;s important to do your due diligence when looking for affordable properties. Make sure to check the property&#39;s location, condition, and ownership history before making any decisions. It&#39;s also recommended to work with a licensed real estate broker or agent to ensure a smooth and safe transaction.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/gRK5cPPRCWUpvn3KtEI5OzhHVi_L3qwkFQeYYnUco9yWGQ5WYXYDaQHVeGI5hU-iwcRMSsKIrG3VO-Exk7mFIPXhijbckbfzizEIWcIS25xYXh-mHEzDPDUSpabeqNfQWHeoQqNv7hl3vCzqDhcqagc" style="height:452px; width:452px" />

Affordable Housing Options for First -Time Buyers 

Clearly, the real estate industry has remained a game of survival of the fittest, with the unfit being eliminated. True enough most of our agents/brokers/property owners attested to this quandary during the recently concluded event in Cebu and Bohol on February 21 and 22. While sharing about the latest property technologies, attendees can&rsquo;t help to open up about their struggles in doing both marketing and sales. That&rsquo;s why they were overjoyed that a company like <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/contact">Signet Properties</a> could serve as their marketing arm in order to stay competitive in this fast-paced industry.

With Bohol and Cebu being two of the Philippines&#39; developing provinces, hosting the &quot;2023 Real Estate Growth&quot; event in these areas was never a mistake. &quot;We&rsquo;re all surprised to see such a large turnout, especially in Cebu,&quot; said Ms. Lyka Corcino, one of the event&#39;s coordinators. &quot;In fact, we were only expecting ninety (90) people to attend. That&#39;s why we were thrilled to fill the venue with a hundred and twenty (120) guests, the majority of whom were walk-ins,&quot; she added.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/9lFU8KPQ_ayjQknlacnkpjmc9SRyDeALvBKWDQBCA-hgM-_sGlfr3QNAwZk-fTUpt3mabC3nAhFxhvz4zMmXiAr3yJg5DnLgnUyXrAetOhZIViR4sM1ez__5P7E7AkmwifLy58mU26hIc4B8FM86HVU" style="height:335px; width:335px" /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/3tgUCAE5Yh2F8hibgZ4mQVDb4LLSEnjV3hrAVprkRlZhsYkBxt3SZrJ6meoxu8-6kD00cH6uulWuVTj7xNL8zH93aOXx-m6Ie3DiMAAPgsN5Qnke7x4SzLav6UzaYkiNE7W8Qnesx5KobuvmHVpo7S0" style="height:335px; width:335px" />

A good amount of feedback was received and it was undoubtedly a good&nbsp; venue to unfold blasting ideas and opportunities for agents/brokers/property owners in the Visayas region. And for sure this is the time that they must seize up marketing opportunities especially with the latest property technologies in order to capture a wide range of property seekers without exerting too much effort and money on marketing their properties. That&rsquo;s not all, in case you missed it, the event unlocked the gate to grow individual assets on selling, and guests were given a chance to collaborate with numerous real estate companies, property investors, and prominent personalities to discuss how they can help each other to thrive in the real estate sector.

For sure, Cebuanos and Boholenos are ready to take on the next step to embrace property tech methods to further increase their chances of selling their focused projects and properties. They will undoubtedly be able to thrive in this competitive real estate market if they will utilize their learnings and get a strategic advantage. Following the advice given by the speakers and socializing with other attendees will definitely help them acquire new skill sets for selling properties, and it appears that it will also encourage them to embody those people who own and run large real estate firms.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/TFDY7QNHk3w7mQCL7o0nZ489TGw1C5YbjUblQ3c5TNwNA0ZwETjaek2j5BwfGdIeU-Fz768jZjahOkM5AU-J6k1aveOZmlx5cCiCsbPlqo7mKQHiTiJT3mWjPA2fy0tgV-SSjsp1TQlsrh2BFOjfnlI" style="height:426px; width:515px" />

Of course, the two-day event would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors Ms. Jhunn Ozaraga from Arthaland and our incredible speakers Mr. OJ Lopez, and Mr. Samuel Lao, who shared their knowledge and expertise as real estate veterans. They emphasized the importance of staying current with market trends while also dynamically adapting to the technologies available in this field.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/PFfHRG1a3mPIJq1EqoIgvxY98jbkCxYGzbSerKlYAKheXlOBiLPWcf3MKHDoZeFTenxwb81po3L9eLPQy0Xj2YPVidi8fY5O6cosHuGTHa61qOcWDgks1tyPFElVdui3JkRMv3HiNgQIosmg0mWq3dM" style="height:312px; width:624px" /> 
Let us not forget another successful event in Bohol thanks to our event sponsors and speakers Ms. Jemarie Gambe from Atharra Primeland Development Corporation, Mr. Clint Padua from Amira Land Development Corp, who exhibited their newly developed properties with affordable and quality type developments ideal for those looking to invest in Bohol. Aside from that, Ms. Jamicha Villanueva from Elite 8 for sharing how they got started in the field and what changes sellers must make. Mr. OJ Lopez for sharing property tech ideas, as well as the use of virtual reality/augmentation to assist property sellers.

Andre Mercado CEO of Signet Properties said that &ldquo;We are honored to have a fruitful partnership with Amira Land Development Corporation, Arthaland, Atharra Primeland Development Corporation, Elite 8, Revastaff, and Realty Options Inc., who supported the event from the first day in Cebu to our last day in Bohol.&rdquo;

The 2023 Real Estate Biz Growth was one way to start our eventful year.&nbsp; It&#39;s a win-win situation for all of us because we&#39;ve become the platform through which all real estate enthusiasts and prospective clients can connect. As we progress with the constantly emerging property technologies in this era, it is critical that all of us in this field work together to keep up, as stated by Mr. Samuel Lao in his pitch last February 21, 2023,&nbsp; &quot;Property tech is a game changing and we need to act fast or maiiwanan tayo [left behind] in the real estate industry.&quot; It&#39;s important to remember that we work in a highly competitive industry, so we must do everything we can to stay up to date with the current trends.

As a seller yourself you need to see the bigger picture and try to visualize your home through the eyes of your buyers.&nbsp; Figuring out what your home needs to look like and feel like is the first step in making it sellable. Before you start cleaning, try to imagine what a buyer would see when they walk into your house. What does their first impression of your home tell them about how well-cared for it is?

Take a look at this easy yet effective steps on how to tidy up a <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy/house">house</a> or <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy/condo">condo</a> unit for resale:

Clean the house from top to bottom, removing personal items from rooms and furniture if possible, and covering it with sheets if not. If you have pets, make sure they are out of the house as well--it&#39;s best not to let them smell their own scent on your belongings!

<ul>
	<li>Make sure all windows are clean and curtains are open (if applicable). This will help prevent sunlight from attracting bugs or dirt into your living space during this crucial time when potential buyers are looking at everything in their homes!</li>
	<li>Check lights throughout every room in case they aren&#39;t working properly; replace any bulbs that need replacing; check outlets for loose connections; turn off appliances if necessary--and remember: never leave anyone inside without checking all electrical outlets first before turning anything back on!</li>
</ul>

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/HKyJLEhczKXOYpWhVnesKcuuPyCG2jXkpa53IiI668tbR15CEWnPCsahpsPctYgQjVbMgdlegxsQYvYAscqWlVZ9n5deGPChazFjGWCPnGX7MPuo1zO8ZjnEBxgd_tC1gc5iSn2lz_59FRTqwL0hnik" style="height:472px; width:472px" /> 
 
DECLUTTER

Remove any unnecessary items and donate or dispose of them. You don&#39;t want to clutter the space by having too much stuff in it, but there&#39;s no need to remove all of your decorating elements if they make your home feel cozy and warm--in fact, some people enjoy having small collections of things around their homes. Just remember that every piece should serve its purpose as well as look good!

<ul>
	<li>Increased Appeal: A decluttered space looks clean, spacious and well-maintained, making it more appealing to potential buyers.</li>
	<li>Enhanced Showcasing: When a house is decluttered, it highlights its features and allows potential buyers to envision their belongings in the space.</li>
	<li>Improved Home Value: A decluttered home can appear larger and more valuable, potentially leading to a higher asking price and a quicker sale.</li>
</ul>

DEEP CLEAN

Thoroughly clean every room, including windows, floors, and bathrooms. Change outdated floor tiles, countertops, faucets and light fixtures in the bathroom. Deep cleaning a house or condo unit before a sale can help make it more appealing to potential buyers, create a positive first impression, and potentially increase its value, making it a worthwhile investment.

<ul>
	<li>Repair and maintain: Fix any damages or wear and tear, such as leaky faucets, squeaky doors, and peeling paint.</li>
	<li>Take note of how your property smells. To keep your unit or home smelling fresh and clean, ensure it is free of unpleasant odors. However, you shouldn&#39;t overdo it when using air fresheners or other fragrant products because you need to consider the client&#39;s health when visiting&nbsp; and the environment.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

STAGE THE INTERIOR

Staging helps potential buyers see how they could live in the space, making it easier for them to imagine themselves in the home. Remember, the goal is to present your home in the best possible light, making it appealing to potential buyers and helping to sell it quickly.

<ul>
	<li>Arrange furniture in a way that makes the space appear larger and more inviting.</li>
	<li>Freshen up with paint: A fresh coat of paint can make a big difference and neutral colors are best for appealing to a wider range of potential buyers.</li>
	<li>Improve curb appeal: Mow the lawn, plant flowers, and tidy up the exterior to make a great first impression.</li>
</ul>

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/m-mL_9PrdA5uTp05GuAyqX7MRrg5fZH2hCIaxbIC6lSdibHDzKa0Cw_hZ8f2yF6pdZ9HQm7vBCgXsJ1VH20Mu5M71gAuM-q2BVCW7oqegORcbCSwJ8qfsahkcEM9VSRvPWFXKANVe0_T5YGsFEdbMkU" style="height:468px; width:468px" /> 
 
AVOID CUSTOMIZING YOUR PROPERTY TO YOUR LIKING

As the unit or home&#39;s owner, we often add our own touches to the property since, if it doesn&#39;t suit our tastes, we often find it bothersome and feel that it is too plain or monotonous. Remember, though, that you are reselling it and not reusing the property, so you need to make it as plain as possible so that your client will know what to adjust for their subsequent use.

<ul>
	<li>Remove all of your personalization and allow the future owner to do it.</li>
	<li>As little as possible, avoid leaving any personal belongings on the premises. Do not paint it in your favorite color; instead, paint it in plain or neutral colors.</li>
</ul>

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/vYitNKLxH33eext1SC2MTocbrQtmaRDiXZsq4_EP89DFMhYIANigRSLY0EbP4GMdNfS_Zpt-xKDpTrpYVKn8l0mhwYwcZ97njUwF8d78HxUx0uaUQHhtvpxwFGgKTgNVQNCqfjUCmbpuUNuPr0NJg3A" style="height:449px; width:449px" /> 
&nbsp;

PRICE IT RIGHT

Set a fair market price based on comparable sales and condition of the property.

<ul>
	<li>Browse the internet for information on determining a price for your property, or ask a reliable realtor to help you with the process.</li>
	<li>A high price indicates that the property is in good shape. If you want to sell your property on the market for a high price, ensure it is attractive, in good shape, and has minimal to no damage.</li>
	<li>Avoid overpricing and underpricing. When you overprice your property, it may take some time to sell it to your target clients, and when you underprice, you&#39;re essentially wasting the potential and quality of your property. Underpricing could prevent you from getting a high return on your investment while overpricing might intimidate your clients and cause them to consider your competitor.</li>
	<li>Make a comparison and contrast. Every seller must compare and contrast the pricing of their competitors&#39; listings to obtain an advantage in correctly pricing their own. Make sure you&#39;ll take into account the dimensions of your property, its condition, your offers, your location, and the property&#39;s accessibility to the establishments that your competitors don&#39;t provide.</li>
</ul>

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/hV_cd6mR7flp9jp_yFypeVxTc5F-lSvF-KA4LA3wjLY7VanDYJGxf7Ajh43EEWMqtanmMq-zSTzVKy0HfJKrrghdxpXtB8EGemjcbcsufkShGJaNfClc-aAmMlw-FzRmHwYFDKrN1vCn8mmJsbNnnc8" style="height:438px; width:438px" /> 
 
TAKE GOOD PICTURES

Always remember to take pictures after cleaning, clearing, depersonalizing, and staging your condo unit or house so that you may showcase it to potential buyers virtually and entice them to visit it in person.

<ul>
	<li>Don&rsquo;t just take pictures: Acquire the ideal lighting and angle for each photo you shoot. Remember that you&#39;ll publish it online, and plenty of people will view it; your images must impress the clients.</li>
	<li>Keep your photo modification to a minimum. Clients may have very high expectations of your property if you overedit. To prevent disappointing them when they conduct an on-site visit, make sure it is simply a &quot;what you see is what you&#39;ll receive&quot; remark.</li>
</ul>

How to Tidy up a House or Condo Unit for Resale

Real estate investment in the Philippines has become a popular way for investors to earn passive income and build wealth. One popular business model in the Philippines is the Build and Sell (BAS) model, which involves building a property, such as a <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy/house">house</a> or an <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy/commercial">apartment</a>, and then selling it for a profit.

The Build and Sell model can be a profitable venture for investors, as the Philippines has a growing population and a high demand for housing. Additionally, the government has implemented various measures to encourage the development of the real estate sector, such as the Comprehensive Tax Reform Program which includes the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law which reduced the taxes for the developers.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/GEMJIHKRemS7qCg38yDVi-AS09qrFIgy-s8icQVr0PTbLhCmuXMRgviuC-dANnvXrqjgft4jXyiGMDioxB4_TToBgSwY5ojj5gI6U0Gmp4jk7SAdK7yKGjmaJDxWj9D3RmsGsm15y5ArMFqKtINnuuU" style="height:425px; width:425px" />

However, before investing in a Build and Sell project, it is important for investors to conduct thorough research and due diligence. This includes evaluating the market conditions, assessing the location of the property, and evaluating the developer&#39;s track record and reputation. It&#39;s also important to consider the cost of materials, labor, and other expenses, as well as the potential return on investment.

There are also some challenges that come with the Build and Sell model, such as the long lead time before the property is completed and ready to be sold, and the potential for delays and cost overruns.

One important aspect of the Build and Sell model is the role of licensed real estate brokers. A licensed broker acts as a mediator between the buyer and the seller, and is responsible for ensuring that the transaction is conducted in compliance with the law. They are also responsible for providing accurate information about the property, handling the paperwork and negotiations, and ensuring that all parties are protected throughout the process. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-M9JUX3g3tdhKyuoISDf0Ruc6LmrrDtgWJi-KNE084naqrIB8i2nB9gwLjULWsA0crzylMhxzWv1BRqvjjgCWNsw1Ykd0G_Vrn6UZbWscVy9911T-UaUZflwx8Fm5TSpnTPzTI62ika5jmA1q4mrKpE" style="height:442px; width:442px" />

Working with a licensed real estate broker can provide added security and peace of mind for both the buyer and the seller. It&#39;s also important to ensure that the broker is a member of the Philippine Association of Real Estate Boards (PAREB). This governing body helps regulate the real estate industry in the Philippines.

Overall, the Build and Sell business model can be profitable for real estate investors in the Philippines still, conducting thorough research and due diligence is important to ensure a successful investment. It&#39;s also important to work with a reputable developer and licensed real estate broker to ensure that the investment process is smooth and secure. Seeking guidance from an expert in the field is vital to minimize the risk and maximize the potential return on investment.

Real Estate Investment -  Build and Sell (BAS) Model

Setting the price for your home to sell can be a difficult but challenging task because it needs a balancing act between what you want to get for your home and what buyers are willing to pay for it. It&#39;s essential to consider various factors such as the comparable home sales in your area, your home&#39;s unique features, professional opinions from real estate agents or home appraisers, flexibility, and the overall market conditions. Additionally, it&#39;s essential to be realistic about your home&#39;s value and price it accordingly to attract potential buyers and make a successful sale.

Here are a few tips to help you determine the right price:

1. Research comparable home sales: Look at the <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy">prices of homes similar to yours</a> that have recently sold in your area. This will give you an idea of what buyers are willing to pay for a home like yours. Aside from that this information can be used to determine a fair market value for your home. You can research by looking at real estate listings from listing platforms or talk to a real estate agent, or try searching online real estate databases. It is important to look at listings of homes that are comparable to yours. Like for example the size, age, condition, and location when determining the price of your home. It is also a good idea to consider the current market conditions and trends in the area.

If you are trying to determine the value of a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in a certain neighborhood, you would look at the sale prices of other 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom homes in that same area that have sold recently. This information can help you determine a fair price for your home or assist in making an offer on a property.

For example: you could check public records and look up the addresses of recently sold homes in the neighborhood on the county property records website. You can find information on the sale price, square footage, and other details about the property. Use online real estate websites <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/">Signet Properties</a> that have a wealth of information on recently sold homes in a specific area.&nbsp;

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/es8LVNQ9iMZYVzrZbNKrvaFOPQbQm8NApap2cI1kxsoShY_Zh5kXraGpL-pLalAIO46KP2JeRvnJF4V_MtDGcX50EB_YMnG49fzbw7lPDRcxRQkqRURLA4kTfQ48_RFqudFdsgrZPOX82HNwTslQyLMv3mc1qcdQqHRZLKemHYA7SuXHz7zJPkNp6wZaVg" style="height:376px; width:448px" /> 
 
2. Consider your home&#39;s unique features: Think about any special features or upgrades that your home has that may make it more valuable to buyers. These features can include things like a large lot, a pool, a finished basement, a newly updated kitchen or bathroom, or a desirable location. These unique features can add value to your home and should be taken into account when determining the price. A well-maintained home that has been recently updated will likely command a higher price than a home that needs repairs or updates. So, it&#39;s recommended to make any necessary repairs or updates before listing your home.

For example: bare unit, semi furnished and fully furnished unit comes in a different shape and features. If the home you&#39;re selling is a bare unit this is typically cheaper than a fully finished unit because it does not include any additional finishes or upgrades. So if the home you&rsquo;re selling is fully furnished then you need to add up the cost for the upgrade.

It is worth noting that different units have different prices and the standing of a house or a unit also varies depending on the benefits added.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/qSQeet5XVNg-lU7MfKpxIUjNVAcsHCy_GtcTCanwtw_OsAHoX7eDJes_k79DrA24NmriuFYNB9HXRUZ_d1XHcINxXrwrVzWqPOgFwg3Hn_QU4H5oXtkmovxqdVDTluoEJo9TsJt7yELdnfo7_KxKTbXW6Sc2fayyTj0NE0mckRrvwpzRUzzC4tFgumSqvw" style="height:486px; width:580px" /> 
 
3. Get a professional opinion: Getting a professional opinion when pricing your home is a good idea. A professional real estate agent will have extensive knowledge of the local real estate market, including comparable home sales and current market conditions. They will be able to provide you with a detailed analysis of your home&#39;s value and help you determine the right price for your home. A professional real estate agent will also be able to provide you with a market analysis, which is a report that includes information on comparable homes that have recently sold in the area, as well as homes that are currently for sale. This information can be used to determine a fair market value for your home. They will be able to help you prepare your home for sale, by providing tips on how to make your home more appealing to potential buyers and how to price it in the right range.&nbsp;

Keep in mind that a professional real estate agent will work to get the best price for your home, as they will be getting commission based on the final sale price, so their interest is aligned with yours.

For example: if you are planning to sell your home, you could contact a local real estate agent and ask them to provide a comparative market analysis (CMA). A CMA is a report that compares your home to similar properties in the area that have recently sold, are currently on the market, or have failed to sell. This report will help you understand the current market conditions and give you an idea of what price range your home should be in.

Additionally, you could also get a professional appraisal. An appraiser will come to your home and inspect it, taking into account the size, condition, location, and any unique features or upgrades. They will then provide you with a written report that includes an estimated value for your home, which can be used to help you determine a fair price for your property.

In summary, getting a professional opinion in pricing your home is essential for sellers to understand the value of their property, its strengths and weaknesses, and the right pricing strategy to take. This can help you set the right price to get the best outcome in the sale of your property. 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/vlVpXJDoMEeKCCpwJh-iS9GLjz1yRxjtYgmlwPzF18mimP_CA7JfLvf0fj7WtQUr7DuQ7C6WiY88z38tkXJbTJyuPp-qRnGJB3J82kJQf6oiKVH1jJx9TDaNzw66qmpObE987S967IMNKdqWXSXm7LFkU96n3mwJtuVpO9Q2QogS_U4MittSx5zfBp-DFg" style="height:359px; width:428px" /> 
4. Be flexible: When setting the price for your home, it&#39;s important to be flexible. If your home doesn&#39;t sell quickly, you may need to adjust the price to be more in line with market conditions. The market conditions and the demand for homes in your area can change. That is why it is very important to consider the prices of comparable homes in the area and to price your home competitively.&nbsp; Aside from that, potential buyers&#39; opinions can change, so being open to negotiation can help increase the chances of a successful sale.&nbsp;

For example: There are clients who have a certain budget. Surely, they will&nbsp;bargain and ask for a negotiated price that is why you need to be flexible. Note that knowing when to lower your price is an important part of the selling process.

There are a few key factors to consider when deciding whether or not to lower your price:

<ul>
	<li>The length of time your property has been on the market: If your property has been on the market for an extended period without any offers, it may be a sign that the price is too high.</li>
	<li>Market conditions: If the market is slow or experiencing a downturn, it may be more difficult to sell your property at a higher price.</li>
	<li>Comparable home sales: If similar properties in your area are selling for less than your asking price, it may be necessary to lower your price to be competitive.</li>
	<li>Feedback from buyers and agents: If you&#39;re getting feedback from buyers or agents that your price is too high, it may be worth considering a price adjustment.</li>
	<li>It&#39;s important to note that pricing your home correctly from the start is crucial, but sometimes the market conditions change, and sellers need to adjust accordingly. A professional real estate agent can help you navigate this process and make an informed decision on when to lower your price.</li>
</ul>

 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/Qc26j-2PM-Cl6iWsWf7VwNBPrChz5y6WgEgsh1eyIF5BqDNRyd6vLaGshSb2yFBVh0FHrX9-7bKgTZjVOjblmqG-vAkZsqrm5bTXjKBo2O_14DBFqa-1crZ5gg1BrylsmMFpQNcawq7sGB56_Qn_oeNYNbxA3aSjmG3Cx_-yOVHhpk2PB607B77idVCXPw" style="height:344px; width:411px" /> 
5. Evaluate the overall market conditions: This includes understanding the current state of the local housing market, such as the <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy">average sale price of homes in your area </a>and the number of homes currently for sale. Additionally, you should consider factors such as the overall state of the economy, interest rates, and any recent changes in housing regulations or taxes that may affect the market. Have a realistic understanding of the market conditions when pricing your home, as overpricing can lead to your home sitting on the market for a long time, while underpricing it can result in leaving money on the table.

For example: if the overall market conditions are strong, there may be a high demand for homes and a low inventory of homes for sale. This can lead to a seller&#39;s market, where homes are selling quickly and at higher prices. In this case, you may be able to list your home at a higher price, and you may have multiple offers on your property.

On the other hand, if the overall market conditions are weak, there may be a low demand for homes, and a high inventory of homes for sale. This can lead to a buyer&#39;s market, where homes are selling slowly, and at lower prices. In this case, you may need to be more flexible with your pricing strategy, and be prepared to negotiate with buyers to get your home sold.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/iX86GVt0p6cs_Q5GTtyBMvhLVQ44Kp-pb5dFLTJASlI_fRzInNBk2cLcrOTfNE2CLC_eK7xenPqS928_SMPmElq9ryx0wOMihbbX7uUPAm18Ohcdmk_1QRa5LAeg0Cozyep_Kns9_ly3e-jZcPl8tpACs1HnUocSl3omnYURsLKvjUy7GTr__o9nc1Du0A" style="height:327px; width:392px" />

&nbsp;

Ultimately, the best price for your home is the one that finds a balance between what you want to get for it and what buyers are willing to pay. With the right preparation and a good understanding of the market, you can set a price that will help you sell your home quickly and for a good price.

Oftentimes, we try to figure out what went wrong and it boils down to how we market our properties.

	<li>Social media: platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter can be used to promote listings and engage with potential buyers. It can be a powerful tool for real estate brokers, agents or property owners to connect with potential buyers and sellers, promote listings, and build their personal brand. Everyone is online that is why it&rsquo;s important to take advantage of this opportunity to gain a wide range of buyers.</li>
</ul>

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Ixy-p2Q-rR9ZRPZtOxHO73hd3Sp2XuH1RchB-N3LmvrfM2UiQDp8CVNpirs-di9rChWx9C_uDIQ5m2QrMfLQVe0HcNrl314cXzVPIgw7WQmYgVWRsYYwlkJaEl8aNy1kYAgGH3Edtne6AgiCtl6DilRxnY-ynTxTCFddeuRO59mjkbMVi4mFhsUaWFZcvw" style="height:399px; width:399px" />

<ul>
	<li>Print materials: flyers, brochures can be used to promote listings and provide potential buyers with detailed information about the property. While digital marketing has certainly become more prevalent in recent years, print materials such as brochures can still play a valuable role in promoting a property. It is a tangible material that buyers can take away with them and refer to later, which can help to keep the property and the listing agent top-of-mind. But it&#39;s also important to keep in mind that not all buyers may be interested in receiving or reading a brochure. That is why it&#39;s also a good idea to consider having a digital version of the brochure available on your website or social media for the buyers that prefer to view it electronically.</li>
</ul>

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/KxNMcx7c-FRNCYLRgT954xXkQ2YlXL0MInOXlNjLJaRE7Wifuf5SZ2vFIILIeXXQa3PYUAQeeLbTmnHpdfVfb9-FZkfbIHOfxBd3N2y_Aq1_CRvi2OdrLh7_UlWsjQYAE_4GflZWY3Uqgd-LPB91_BqgngytcCBlHsulABCu4fjxGdLoYbu-VXixxlOGaQ" style="height:339px; width:339px" />

<ul>
	<li>Invite to Open houses: hosting an open house allows potential buyers to view the property in person and ask questions about the listing. This is one of the very effective ways to market a property. You can invite your friends or a potential buyer for them to walk through and view what the property has to offer. With this you will be able to build their interest and trust.</li>
</ul>

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/5XZcTylHcFWr4cMyO6IMLEfmYx4EL6e9MXQcgpgeZr3wedCYd28vsD7i-zth9RcvMKAxHxZkQkbyTTG2HlswktTveJ-OLjTwgXJwhD2Nsw_GTs0NTDOmkhOEeoGxWBCyVLK_piaQlQtVVyqtYznfXBjcJAZSIspNshtS87pIZCfABbxo39plE0y99uuntA" style="height:338px; width:338px" />

<ul>
	<li>Networking: building relationships with other real estate agents, mortgage lenders, and industry professionals can help generate leads which will result in more sales. This can open doors to new opportunities, by connecting you with potential clients who may be in need of your properties.</li>
</ul>

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/KX7vbEX3A4_qDFye0Dt6WRdO7Xdm8_p2r2sqh2x3OsbS9k5vTkz0yhBtYyG0sUmGYjXUnPErGEP_OG7lAXBBvmUuWlj0i-eqX4YKXWe0Hd0GJG3R32JTp6ZE5HSzndty2nIOxsPk4tsrlFxEKFYAcKFKXQeX-YX8nk8OzPXTLw4o_nndwIJWFmd2ad_hBg" style="height:384px; width:384px" />

It&#39;s important to be consistent in your marketing efforts and try to reach as many potential buyers as possible. And also tailor your marketing strategy to the specific property and target market. Consistently promoting your listings, services and brand through various marketing channels helps you to maintain visibility in the market. This can help to ensure that potential buyers and sellers are aware of your listings and the services/properties you offer.

It&#39;s important to note that every company will have their own specific strengths and ways of doing business. They have their own methodologies to ensure that leads are more likely to convert into a sale, thus minimizing the waste of time and resources in pursuing leads that are not likely to convert. Remember that lead generation companies can play an important role in the real estate industry by helping agents and brokerages and property owners to find and connect with potential buyers, thereby increasing their chances of closing a sale. While working with lead generation companies this can help you to save time, increase efficiency at the same time it is cost-effective.

How to Market Your Listings

To show off their new rental home, Jessy Mendiola and her husband Luis recently posted a house tour. I wondered why they chose a rental home over owning one and I learned from their vlog that their dream house is still under construction. Their rental home looks gorgeous and just from the enormous front door you can really say that their new home is a work of art. They didn&#39;t disclose the location of their rental home but it appears to be just around Quezon City as Luis jokingly said that SM north is just outside their house.

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/uoy2xVffJbdECliUvXBYT8ahi6rSZEuZtp10Gm3m5xqLjQxCGo9_1KgeY7MsKQQaw5SAG9VfO-9Bq--jrUXaDRSb0LdqsDLrjuJ65IwhvLHFxIDUic_Ftjj7J6bYA5KEejfg06NotDq-hkCsDqNswQBQB1usZhOf8JmiNPmq9GZThO5-hpVuJA9U-cVS2Q" style="height:312px; width:624px" />

According to Jessy, since they are expecting a baby soon they need a home that is something safe. They explained that one of the factors that affected them to move out from their previous rental home is the high ceilings.&nbsp; Now they moved to a safer place out of fear that their soon to be born child might fall, which has made them more cautious about the situation.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/pCVUl3eyjZEPLsdogSPjQck13zdbr1p_MCsn7S8jEPSoafYhaJ7F54orAkpRQ8o6ehfPqoSCzXxzTml-uy54ot9GKWQ_giocHSzAY7jyuBvhpQSgT1Cl5kURIIzSLPNUnDPbITZkFhHz_kcPmwUsVhRNCyZNotWN6yY3L5l1H9_iSVWnu672aye8bYGVbw" style="height:359px; width:411px" />

Luis then jokingly motioned to their dining area while telling a story about how their dining table has been with them since they were still boyfriend and girlfriend. They also gave us a sneak peek of their kitchenware and their snack pantry.

According to the two, while renting they are still able to keep their belongings preserved while moving from one location to another. Though this might be one of the hardest parts for other people who rent, the two always choose to bring with them their important possessions.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/h6tKY-_pCDVOmBH_c7AZk-S7ykWtw4KEKMKBEPbhM6expis8kpKB1PaOEtlMyBtF3H0e290IEbPFwNni09BeWDeYnt25gS4OVl52001bcKECHv_U0tcFbSz7jRzDZvAnUkpUV07qMMfQ_-KNk7DgU4p3vYXhlQg-FzcfBBfZIQl5wq97CBKpBfGh3kvFgQ" style="height:416px; width:477px" /> 
This is their breakfast nook where Luis watches his favorite UFC fights, plays video games and as for Jessy it&rsquo;s a place for peace and quiet where she can relax. Jessy mentioned that if you&rsquo;re one of their avid fans and you always watch their live streams, yes this is the spot where they always do it.

During the whole vlog you&rsquo;ll really wish to have a home like this. Who wouldn&rsquo;t want to? It&#39;s very spacious, has a garden, an outdoor pool, and you can even set up your gym equipment like Luis. Who would&rsquo;ve thought that you can rent a place like this in Metro Manila? It&rsquo;s perfect for a starting family and it&rsquo;s near shopping malls like SM north, Fishermall, Ayala Malls, etc. <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Quezon%20City">Check out Properties in Quezon City</a>.&nbsp;

That&rsquo;s not all, they also have a room for their guests and what I love most about it is that it has a boho-chic vibe where it&rsquo;s simple and pure but also fresh and exciting. It definitely suits the whole holiday home concept where visitors and extended families can feel at home and relaxed. It looks like the place to chill while still getting the same cozy and familiar vibe of a typical home. 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/PfrDePyJRIUXr5t_eJGhlcIqfMLYtKd4fKn59TijzQ7GFpT2XRPd4ZJAqAUvV8dAVN9divswDKALxToeLjdKAZZTGGs20uxyNoBbQ88i5gDGsyLfByHv4TAfp8jNj0LzRiVRD1RjhP2Vr--T4F5rof8QyX4efVXVCt3ojInzQueu9Vb8fm0eMxZM2OUJJg" style="height:408px; width:467px" /> 
The final highlight of their vlog was their masters bedroom. This bedroom looks both welcoming and comfortable. It&rsquo;s very contemporary. With few hints of white and gray with a chic and modern hint to the space. It also has a french door where they can open and step outside while also allowing natural light to enter. Inside their master bedroom are their most prized possessions, a walk -in closet, an artwork from local artists and they also have a couch where they can relax after a long tiring day.

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/GmzCgU_PnLX6p_rEkr5xEyeXNOUZNOti1xo8fQVtlowcAraFeIhmxlRA4g8Hw6wYhLtpbE_3hSufPJweIUZSKLehMk7q2LErOxs39TxPj2PuoLJS8RL3aXan3L2d7DAQDMHnyIWaMZwR_LcdG1_1OCsst4gnaQZcBgLq4lpWg4JvQkpd6NYEMaD1EJLbpA" style="height:435px; width:499px" /> 
What they love most about their rental home

It&rsquo;s simple and clean. The house is full of natural light, it&rsquo;s cozy and aside from that the neighborhood is away from the noise of the bustling city. They also mentioned that they love it because the house has clean lines and color and it&rsquo;s much safer than their previous rental home. They fell in love with it instantly and it has the energy that they&rsquo;re looking for in their new home.

Even celebrities with a well-established career choose to rent in order to feel the comfort and safety they seek. Just like these two celebrity couples, renting isn&rsquo;t bad at all. It can provide you with the flexibility to live and to move wherever you want. You can choose to rent out near your work locations without having to compromise the quality of your life and the freedom to choose wherever you want.

Why did Jessy Mendiola and her husband, Luis Manzano, leave their previous rented home?

We&rsquo;re all aware that 2022 has proven to be quite a challenging year, impacting both local and global economies and yes we don&rsquo;t want to mess up again. This is why it is crucial to understand what lies ahead next year by looking at market trends and insights from the residential market.

Residential Market Insights Report For the Year 2022

&ldquo;Signet expects demand on Condominium units remaining as the first choice of Filipinos as the majority of property seekers are looking for locations to settle and invest in within Metro Manila. Well, condos are now more appealing to consumers as it is less expensive and it offers a combination of features that are not easily found in other property types, such as high-quality construction, location in prime areas, and amenities that provide the comfort of living.&rdquo;

Let&rsquo;s also take into account that Filipinos are becoming more interested in hosting Airbnb to capitalize on the rising demand for Tourism which opens up new doors of opportunity for property seekers who want to venture into this field to generate a passive income

Based on our gathered data from our overall property inquiries in this year 2022, condominium seekers peak at 70.03% followed by House and lot&nbsp; at 17.09%&nbsp; and lots at 12.87% respectively

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/xQfpPRgPBT0AK09C2uE1lmOSHvZcMhiNzL4_5at2swZSlBP6Ori_deDhz7VkFaS_bylAz6_GteOf7wEFyR_RurODuhiPUKjQD58tyTd4U6vuqsq1xue1rBTbY_84M5tDrWBXWQ-QJW_ES9CFbkEKm7Zy3_T7MEOTcNr39fvCDhAUx4LjssnCDL2e5h-KHg" style="height:523px; width:624px" />

However, this year, the Philippines experienced the highest inflation rate since November 2008, with the annual inflation rate rising to 8.0% in November 2022 affecting the cost of living for Filipinos or anyone in the country, particularly in Metro Manila. This means that expenses will continue to rise. From food to utilities, clothing, and, most importantly, fuel and transportation.&nbsp;

Despite the high inflation rate consumer activities are still increasing along with employees returning to work and students now at all levels have gone into the face-to-face setting. Aside from that many industrial sectors can anticipate that the country will be able to reap the benefits of its new developments, the majority of which are expected to begin operations in the year 2023.&nbsp;

Property recovery in the Philippines continues into 2023.

According to Colliers Philippines, The Philippine Property Sector is expected to finish strong by 2022 thanks to improved office leasing deals, increased supply and demand in the Metro Manila pre-selling condominium market, a rebound in mall consumer traffic, and an increase in hotel occupancies and average daily rates (ADRs).&nbsp;

This just implies that the real estate sector should anticipate a steady recovery in the upcoming year and significantly better development in the years to come. As the data suggest 2023 is a perfect time to buy properties and sell properties, most especially, condominiums.

A look at top cities and popular suburbs with the most inquiries from property seekers:

The residential market would possibly reap the benefits of major infrastructure developments, especially in Central Luzon and nearby cities, or these infrastructural improvements are projected to increase the housing market values and home prices outside of the capital region. Based on the data gathered, the following conclusions are predicted.

<ul>
	<li>The province of <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Bulacan">Cavite</a>&nbsp;is the most sought-after location. Cavite has shown economic sustainability and engagement in business and trade. It will continue to progress in the next few years because of the new government project, the &ldquo;Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge,&rdquo; which will boost the economy of the southern and northern provinces.</li>
	<li><a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Calamba%20City">Laguna</a> is one of the fastest developing provinces in the country. With new roads and expressways to watch out for like the of PNR Calamba Railway Project, Alaminos-San Pablo City Bypass Road, Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX), and Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike. All of this project will ease travel time in connecting Laguna to Metro Manila.</li>
	<li><a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Angeles%20City/Clark%20Special%20Economic%20Zone">Pampanga</a> has been identified by the government as a critical new economic center for the Philippines. Clark in particular continues to emerge in business and tourism destinations, it is also rapidly positioning itself as Asia&#39;s next major casino hub. That&rsquo;s not all, the first-ever bullet train to Manila is expected to be up and running by 2023.</li>
	<li><a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Antipolo%20City">Rizal,</a> due to its accessibility to the following cities: Antipolo, Marikina, and Quezon City, it is an ideal investment for people who want to get away with the bustling city without compromising their work. As the Rizal region grows in popularity due to its landscape and the panoramic views it offers, numerous townships, major roads and highways, and particularly real estate projects are being built here.</li>
	<li><a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy?page=1&amp;city=Bulacan">Bulacan</a> will most likely be an appealing residential investment location as large infrastructure projects such as the Bulacan Airport or the New Manila International Airport and MRT-7 are near completion.</li>
</ul>

Even though we are facing unprecedented challenges in the global market ranging from monetary tightening, to high inflation owing to soaring world oil prices and supply chain issues.

Home decor is a popular category to sell, and has an oversaturated market. Given these conditions, we know it might be overwhelming for retailers who are looking for the trendiest and value for money items to sell to their customers. But fret not, we’re here to help.&nbsp;This blog focuses on helping retailers pick affordable, trendy, and elegant-looking products that keep up with the trends at affordable prices with one of the rising B2B sourcing companies of our choice - <a href="https://sourcyglobal.com/">Sourcy Global</a>.&nbsp;Popular home decor styles and palettesIn 2022, there were certain trends of home decor that dominated the market. Styles like Japandi and Scandinavian stood out the most. These can include a touch of luxury, the color palettes of warm/neutral, curved furniture that produce a soft and feminine feel, plants, natural materials (e.g., rattan, wood etc), and black accent pieces.Japandi and Scandinavian styles are similar in the sense that Japandi is a style produced from mixing Japanese rustic minimalism and Scandinavian functionality. The home interior aims to be cozy, functional, muted, and clean. This is because the style is rooted in minimalism and comfort. Natural materials such as wood and plants are incorporated into the house for a natural feel. At the same time, some brighter elements or pieces may be subtly added into the layout to complete the look.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/IedZAj9VzdRSgArCn7g3UO6yEIpDg-0hnOCnNU5TAP5Ilgtba7CObnGgaNkLkctw35GKyCb9VHPhVp4ABFaZ8k2GYC1JeMyaQVTV8WcpZjPuSZtZ6neEof9PoVLuq6sMRWcDcefIZKyAGdUMN1IGoh1tslshLns_KPxPc-HVqO_34-pp8ylXMGApCdwKiZqjBoboGukr6A"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/H2GIE87I2rzOAo7MNXL2bjYKhmI0gqQq_lcusW5Dwn0lvJw_PfLiD5-Dwi-pZckCUhfAVaEyn-vcMQmtMib9MyiiGubQuTrwBtKiv3az7yMVtYrHkUDxBkM1b0xCNnCIALG3oHGfVs-wMc1QczXutYAgnlsizy32BzQQ73Zg3IUREOiTBqKJ_milmHSK6zo">The common Japandi look is a mix of neutral colors such as brown, white, and beige with the browns elevating the comforting atmosphere of the home. A popular mix with the Japandi style is the idea of ‘wabi sabi’ which focuses on the acceptance of imperfection as an aesthetic.&nbsp;Consumers love this decor style because it is very versatile – the clean and muted background colors make it simple for consumers to change the decor as and when they want it without need for repainting. Furthermore, since Japandi focuses on imperfection and nature, consumers do not have to worry about getting the perfect piece for every corner. They can also expand the diversity of decor they have in the house. For retailers who are interested to catch consumers in this area of design, here are some products Sourcy offers for the Japandi wabi sabi look:&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/CE8EG4c7dEFbt8JKqORb_BkkS26NLbVqPFruIeVHfBFd0rL_xA_fLkBBnQVZAOh9MGkhfPq_E66Y4TqW9TkhlvMtNLuThqVWeFu8N8HI_71iKUJSQj2DZhr1dtD9TGHMxdnPgGebRBDkQtaRfEILMMwY5R3AggJWFDZMP0ZaAGvSMFk8liPkEQPmqLZSmW5uc07LOhgcfA"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/zUF7vcFeoBoRODvdibYheq7SobF87z_Y5HA9sYAZrzuh4JuEr0Kgr0pfe6UMYCtvjBgYIdSAi6Jl_zb28J_3ylcJGgPbq31WFWdkF8YB3trfClVTOsHUvU77HM_9_cS3NKYjU36MvSbi_THsG_qbNgcI0CcwPKtfhBzEsGgy21s0clq56QoPMQH6H-wE2aYgH-EFZeDR3Q">If your customers are less about sticking to a particular style and more about adding colors and designs that they personally like, here are some of the top choices by consumers.A touch of luxury&nbsp;This refers to home decor that is the opposite of minimalism. This can include items that have more details, highly eye-catching colors, or also items that are generally more unique and not found in common homes. Examples of these are vinyl players or large mirrors that are hard to miss. Consumers adopt this because they do not want their homes to be too overwhelming but still hold a feel of luxury and elegance.&nbsp;Implementing warm and neutral colors&nbsp;This is similar to the Japandi palette but it can also include certain pastel hues such as green and pink. The main point of these colors is to be gentle on the eyes but also provide a tranquil environment for home owners to return to which evokes positive emotions.&nbsp;Curved furniture&nbsp;This is a trend that is coming back – and for good reason. Furniture that has rounded edges produces a more gentle look and feel in the house that makes it look more inviting, soft, and feminine. Moreover, curved furniture is very versatile and can match other curved furniture or take up less space. This is why it is a consumer favorite, especially for those with smaller homes.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/TiEip1_YODSiJ-NTuoEY_t9V49epP6KFK8rw7i3gPYcRkwhrOUDNSiSB8rlgYCbaWlcm7h8QSQjLXudX0e26VRiVKnDwn3ZrNLzE3SGXP7vnFqQwNrK6VOV-p0exU2VZVHCmrPqqU9To_liEo9nYDSs7NxWc8OQDzr9_Gg8z6qB-huliUd5bLq6FEQX4MoOtsvYNlWsttw"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/v7HYUPortBVTeQDu-i97R6XzYJK_ApsjS36uwDUt19XbEJHuhGWv0RSsbFFMC7wWYIv0iD_4Zeb_2QsOHyu-sFS7tgQiAs4JhFFDmmDE0ZdsiADNbhhnYFXrXXR2GoYosvjDuyOdVIrCpSlFABhMOf1dQYxJ_rggBUIOwLDC95WXkUcUYWmCfliroLJbLNpF-lRqGsThVA">PlantsPlants are a classic addition to many homes. Plants, whether artificial or real, add some life and color to homes. For example, the most commonly added plants are colored green which can brighten up homes that are minimalist or filled with neutral and warm colors. Plants can also provide a therapeutic touch to the homes. One crucial rule to keep is to not overdo it, as it might cause home clutter which is undesirable.Natural materialsOther than plants, there are alternative ways to include nature into the home which are incorporating natural materials. Consumers love this as it provides them alternatives to the normal plants which may require more space or care (if the plants are real). Natural materials can be made into furniture and still provide the rustic and nature feel. This is very popular in areas that are densely populated such as big cities as they would be more isolated from nature. These materials are not exclusive to but include rattan, bamboo, and wood.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/5ziFEZ66Ud1TdKkPuKNGRp6TiCaPS5iYSLOojnGfyP3SkoGD9oie-VXr5aOO0FVJT-DDD2cpMKybtN-IsF1k1TOdcS7dOGNeaaTsk2P3VmD8UNGi2wYiZFLjo1B__W4ptxj9SNKfgFx3fps9_8UmO4pzuT-64AaQsDWXYixaVK1JanP41DZtt5Tmmy16jb-e_aQPuzXxNA"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/8SE_Pw99GsMU-wBFmzT1MxHVaqhd4Sd8S9sZBVGB4BrlBD64WSStt57qTewij2eKGaqqZeob8XTy_VBdIS1gYFl17QtbqVBSM-qEjdw7oLO5O0aN_aL9BkHIHUD613jHprzHsHLS5I5EznLehu_1mh65kGkmsvg_cGSB2QuW2hxd83lQUcp1blly89X_nvZiUVHYxSTLZw">Black accent piecesBlack accent pieces are usually used in houses that have a lot of softness in the home be it via the decor shapes or colors. They are used to accentuate certain areas and add some drama or elegance to the home. Consumers desire it because it is a very simple way to elevate the home and the black accent pieces can always be reused or changed easily.&nbsp; How Sourcy maximizes profits for retailersWe chose Sourcy as a top choice for retailers because they truly care for their customers.

Top Selling Home Decor for Retailers

Are you looking for properties in the Philippines? Do you have any idea what properties are available and what you can get when you buy? Well, there are plenty of options available and it can get overwhelming at times. But don’t worry because <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/">Signet Properties</a> will guide you in choosing the right fit for your next investment.As you can see, condos and houses come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they frequently differ from what is advertised. Yes, not all condos and houses are furnished, and we sometimes have high expectations because they've shown us alluring&nbsp; model units during trippings.&nbsp;If you prefer small space to manage for personal or for investment purposes in a prime location, here are the things you should expect, from the space to the costing. At the end of this you’ll be able to spot the best match for you.Here are the different types of fittings in Condos/Houses here in the Philippines1. Bare: The term "bare" refers to a condo/house that has nothing inside except the main door. Clients are frequently given a bare option to customize their own home design by developers. There will be no tiles (only concrete for the pavement), no paint on the walls or ceiling, no internal doors, and no electrical wiring. The kitchen and bathrooms will also be concreted.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/QQaTFnRIg4a4nVpwcJxT1BNG-UB1qgrSVXJ0nEmuNf_vp6bnbaoviVbCpq8fczDa5eqvDj5lc53dItxOn6M_U9gkD7v-PkoD2CNP14RYPg3s4MDPBhRZKQFh2zSLhHOViglPRSd2N5NEmhg-wCGE48SRsACfcyY-uIFG4Zldmdcd4TIfZ7_byX1Q4pc-FA">Example of a Bare Unit Floor PlanThis would likely cost around 3.9M in Quezon City, Manila, Caloocan, and Valenzuela for a studio type unit and around 10M in BGC and Makati for a 45 sqm Unit. However, this is still dependent on the size and developer<a href="https://signetproperties.ph/developer/new-san-jose-builders-inc">New San Jose Builders </a>are developers who provide bare units. They came up with this concept because many buyers prefer to design and furnish their own home, and they can also save money because a fit out property costs more than the bare unit. So buying a bare unit can save you a lot of money.2. Unfurnished: The developer will typically hand the property over to the buyer in this manner. In the Philippines, the usual unfurnished condo unit, is delivered with:<ul><li>Floorings (tiles, wood or laminated)</li><li>Painted walls &amp; ceiling (plain paint usually with the shades of white)</li><li>Fitted kitchen cabinets &amp; sink (wooden cabinets and plain tiles)</li><li>Bathroom fixtures (sink, shower)</li><li>Internal doors, electrical wirings and outlets</li><li>In some unfurnished apartments you might also find air-conditioning units, especially when they are provided and delivered by the developer.</li></ul> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/kH5h9OVteC8B26zFlmJAe3iSOWqCj7CNLHxdWPMBtYmJK83Wr464gPu8SoCLzHynbEH78bqFEVrispOdrEBoz7RASkOIL4rlIS1foXMnCQK0MW5vaXWhrwVY48CWoz-tXNo2NdC4yjOH8O9AsBwbxqn7JO00o_woW-fOMMvNC8-dcfbxGjWPOh28PtrgsQ"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ugyHaPMWgbSYRNXTpeoowdifT29rq9ZNBZHzA9CnFKCo41lhH8UFp_jZIrmS_7bjvGElNemdPy3tWAKI0uyDH7Dop9G6AGSZ2bghqrewtWR00ogVauMGb6cc-kGuEIXqnnlJCylS8t9VoKbbQXVeHACgzCA76NGI7_qPyFTnwbRJisw16K2FkZLOSlwMxg">Unfurnished property in locations such as Malate Manila starts at around 2.9M for 19.7 sqm.

Semi-Furnished:&nbsp;When attempting to guess what the apartment comes with, this will be the most perplexing condition, as this term will be used to describe anything between an unfurnished unit and a fully furnished one.There is no general rule, and an ocular inspection is really required to understand what the owner added to the apartment after it was turned over from the developer. Check to see if the unit includes the following items:<ul><li>If and how many Air-conditioning units are already installed</li><li>If there is a water heater for the bathroom/s</li><li>Which appliances you will find (ref, washing machine, stove, range hood, oven)</li><li>Which furniture are already present, between beds, couch, wardrobes or Curtains and TV</li></ul>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/5ZA31MA7C4v0aXuAE1hpXrMoxmtHDAbkvrd_V6aFtcMdvI_b4XtvM3Jsj6tGdwZ_VpNeNjgUgdFRJecak-BLQrBvMZUgkgw3FoZBZtDC2lv4bcB4WCADrliLn1tgeobwbOOl8AElALBnjpA2rCtJLSrxTrfmS-Rw-katnmKSxW9AByjBlZb9AG6kaE_2HQ">4. Fully Furnished: When an apartment is advertised as fully furnished, you can expect to find it fully equipped, as in nothing else should be required for you to buy to live in it.As a result, the following items should always be present otherwise, the apartment is considered semi-furnished:<ul><li>Air-conditioning units</li><li>Water heater for bathrooms</li><li>All appliances in the kitchen (ref, microwave, stove, range hood)</li><li>Beds with complete set of sheets and comforter</li><li>Curtains for all windows</li><li>Cooking utensils, cutlery, glassware, pots and pans</li><li>TV</li><li>Wardrobe, dining set, couch &amp; chairs</li></ul><a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/the-empress-at-capitol-commons">Empress at Capitol Commons </a>and <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/projects/maven-at-capitol-commons">Maven by Capitol Commons</a> are two condos that provide fully furnished condos. &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/tuN1UIKZg4YWX6slM3V8E4Hj75gApneMvStQF7XLnDchW28H_l_C27L5GzaCi4LRtwbn-ptKveLBoA70qAjjaPWmjs4UdubYCdXaVFG_bS2tF1riMncSyBHC8TdO6R-1BNGr0Ezdvu3DaNPJDXfmAcFjZjHPSw8uugWIBRyaAbhbdYIeJ1-Tub8AyIcgCg"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/tDCZ-gqaYPVTJ6JSDl7T8VotBMS-oExOkAqsB0s-BU3K5fW6dVd5INJ5_jyPbUh2t81qlAmCXeRXwsyJl0n9T88dZTJVviIuKwZHJajT6aRHbXCQlNHXI28pwBcwH2PblB8SdliYXp_LkJl2RkCb5byrTTwivmprChoGkqOAz8taC4bCb7EO0iC0u9ImkA">A furnished condo comes with all the furniture that a reasonable person would need to live comfortably; this means that it will command higher cost compared to other fittings that are bare, unfurnished and semi-furnished since depreciation will occur to assets such as couches, tables, and chairs.With these tips you can avoid mistakes when house-hunting, you'll be more likely to find a home that suits both your feelings and your finances.

Fully-furnished vs. Semi-furnished vs. Bare Unit | What is the best choice in buying a condo?

&nbsp;

Finding the right office space for your company may appear to be a daunting task. It needs to be right. But how do you know if it&rsquo;s the right place for you? As we all know the working environment is one of the factors that affects productivity, engagement and satisfaction that is why choosing an office should not be taken lightly.

Here in the Philippines, the best choices would be <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy/office">Metro Manila</a> and <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy/office?page=1&amp;city=Cebu%20City">Cebu</a> which are one of the growing cities in the Philippines where economic growth continues to arise.&nbsp;

According to Philippine Statistics Authority

The&nbsp; Province of Cebu Leads the Economy of Central Visayas with 30.7 Percent Share from 2018 to 2020&nbsp; followed by the City of Cebu with an average share of 22.1 percent The major economic drivers of growth in Cebu in recent years have been tourism and the IT sector.

While NCR&rsquo;s economic growth went up by 4.4% compared to last year, reversing the 10% drop in 2020. That is why you should consider putting your company in this area.

Let me point out some important considerations for you.

1. Location and Accessibility

When it comes to choosing an Office Space to lease for your business, location is frequently the second most important factor that business owners think about after cost/budget. Aside from that, choosing the next central business district and choosing the Proximity of your office space to transportation routes is very crucial.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_XgdXWHfXxhgPlfdyASrSajD27YPO9QRSg2ovrFEz3d0AQwXIuzMfwVTLF7cmvIUUw0bOWXQ1HaXvPEPmbqJ9etOyyXn7iL2IxpbocE_UxNgw74oqgCpL2nQaHmjLJZ387WkuG4WSNYXNyvqkVFgckJvEAHKQk6oqwuxnMfbt10m9qkVXZvy1KN05j5eQg" style="height:295px; width:295px" /> 
 
2. Budget

How much are you willing to spend? Of course, the budget is determined by the company&#39;s income, and you cannot exceed what you earn plus your company&#39;s expenses. As a matter of fact, budget is really the most crucial factor other than anything else

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;.<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/o-0-aO6nOy-rknSJmg_pS2vYwafFpirQfCtNtsO2xnRjOgoaFKVduDkOaNkqPrQ003m1rDMq2aLHkpzyGZfbNG_bTNq33CZ6gor29UNL-PwJZwx3P0Gjr19gP2R2VHUZPYIoysnv5gag7bri9OflLGNW5sAkgtfHdx_jiuJzrdAvPvgLSbw4CNptHzBdIA" style="height:255px; width:255px" />

3. Building Specifications

Make sure you look into the building specification in order to know if the place is safe for you and your employees. Check out the size of the unit, the elevators, the machines, the electrical wirings, the floor from which you will be working, and so on. This should be thoroughly checked to avoid future issues that could jeopardize your overall safety.

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d3hIWm8oEUFuq6-j78h8WSyBAHPhiIAXVAOWPohGAnDHV9Hz50gaReZ4JhPqQ1l560Xpuvxe-iRgGZfXJzj9FrjFX5Qp6W8N-foS2Lkf2WJ9Op-eX0oT_mQ7fR1qB3ikiqfkxOT3LY6-iF6hMhZglZoiAx97rBPtafCKb_iV1a9vILVWDj2uZi_LGLEreg" style="height:318px; width:318px" /> 
 
4. Business Type and Company Size

The size of your company and its operations should be proportional to the size of your office, which should be large enough to accommodate your employees. This way, everyone can work efficiently and effectively while still having enough space for their paperwork, gadgets and devices, and so on.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/EabmnLvkrDzckf7CXoWbAPFRSYz1Lp7hlLz4MhFZ2HPRj7ECUPFvOmSr_1rjZVTeuWi4mnnNnVsfL5GswfXWS8KRDhUgH_ICxyjzEHRD91PdaSV0_hetjSdbe8rRm5B6KTQmUFZjR0d9TQ2UWhYRsCAr9JfecfLJqW4Scm6Vf05_RKo2yR2sbxSsSr7Y6Q" style="height:318px; width:318px" /> 
&nbsp;

5. Employees

In the Philippines, the recommended ratio of space per employee is about five square meters. This means that on average, every employee in the office should have at least five square meters of space for his workstation, equipment, and free space. Take that into consideration to make sure the office space that you&rsquo;re browsing is the best one for you.

 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/HHfl7nTMB8D4Oi5UxSPszTmOtWOnQAsJCeZKOx4Vl51p5VhoPi0trshArAX7kb2kZA_OsiBEhC3KQ5-Z4TJptUc1LDx1MLYa8354h9c9wKr7kJsEEEdcdGbqYB2dNXsvskXkCmjV4dJnIRKOIFPE2ydiij1WaNT2NgMPgblSgfxFVr0Sd_BNhwxGC-S2-w" style="height:329px; width:329px" />

Things to consider in looking for a new Office Space in 2023

Worried about not having enough money to buy a condo or a house? If you&#39;re a prospective buyer, you know that saving for a downpayment is one of the most difficult aspects in buying a home. The process of saving for any major expense can be a challenge.&nbsp; But if you&rsquo;re determined to own your first ever home you can follow the guide below:

What is a down payment when purchasing a home or condo, and why is it necessary?

We often hear about owning a condo in Manila for as low as PHP8,000 per month, a clickbait in malls or facebook ads but if we sit down with one of the agents and discuss the sample computation we will encounter a roller coaster ride on payment terms.&nbsp;

But why do real estate developers require a downpayment? Well, to answer that. It is to assess whether the purchaser/borrower is in sound financial standing and will be able to repay the loan on time or in the future. Down Payment however varies depending on what the real estate developers in the Philippines offer to home buyers. The usual down payment ranges between 10 &ndash; 20% of the total contract price.

From the food sector, to utilities, clothing, and most importantly, the fuel and transport.&nbsp;&nbsp;Despite the increasing prices of consumer goods, people are now beginning to transition back to normal. Not just the workforce but also the students of all levels have gone into the face to face setting. This explains why people are looking for convenience as much as possible so that they can get a dwelling place near their daily destination hence, their jobs or schools and universities.&nbsp;<h3>A look on top cities and popular suburbs with most inquiries from property seekers:</h3>&nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/w7kZ5Yv_fNEo7qcYjayJwQ2CM71yo-Kbe7VREJBc3OGypHeWD7nZjA8tQ-LZGNOVLd1TrDsB2lFYOCHDaMJZH8PmV2JvxQSMLkDRRpR10E8XY804pNARVRGKjTyEdkyTJVO1FrXrot99vgpuDFYpkoLP0TrSBiX-vwZg9uL3kbou4w8eeuyR76x_fg">Signet Properties sees that the province of Cavite is the most in-demand location for the month of September at 8.8% given that the province has shown an economic sustainability and engagement of business and trade. It will continue to progress in the next few years because of the new government project the “Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge” which will boost the economy of the southern and northern provinces. Next up is the region of Rizal which is located in the eastern part of Luzon. Angono, one of the provinces of Rizal region, has been recognized as the 6th most competitive town in the country. A lot of townships, major roads and highways, and especially real estate projects are being developed within the region of Rizal as it is not becoming a go-to-place because of its landscape, and the overlooking views it provides.&nbsp;With all the congesting traffic, inflations, and events booming back because of the recovery from the Pandemic, the Philippines gives a promising economic recovery because businesses have opened once again and more local and foreign tourists are ready and even started their travels as the travel restrictions have lifted up.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Residential Market Insights Report For the month of September 2022

You will always face tough conversations and you will encounter people who find it difficult to make a decision quickly. It’s because they want to make sure that they are not regretting any future investment coming from their hard earned money. This is where the challenge starts.Hesitations, questions, complaints and even criticism are inevitable, but confidently and sincerely addressing the client's objections can turn the tables around. Objections can either be an opportunity for your business or it can also be the cause of mishaps if not handled properly.&nbsp;Begin to ask yourself an important question. How do I make my clients commit slowly but surely despite the roadblocks? Rather than completely feel discouraged by the situation, listen to their problems and see where you can help to address their current hesitations. Remember that selling a property is not a debate, you need to be an active listener because as you listen you will understand their standpoint and where they’re coming from.<h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>This is how you should respond to Common Objections in Real Estate</h3>1. "I'm a couple of years away from buying."Some customers are not in a rush to buy and are simply browsing or window shopping. However, let them understand that buying now, while the market value is still lower, is the smarter choice than waiting for the upcoming years, when the value would increase quickly. Offer an ongoing discount for this year and the advantages they will experience. You may also draw attention to the flexible payment choices you can provide. You can ask questions like “if we can help you get an approved loan will that interest you?” Emphasize that you will help them get the dream house that they want and save a lot of money compared to waiting a few more years.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/xgMbUdWNjAEJLMllmZz1HyXhnphZI1Ed9iyNmLOD1gEhz8dTFNjps95nZcQajF-jCUA-uVYQ6lEhp5tMUmDXV1NRg6CYOdGxhYRTOpYt6kOZJb4R5wuURrPOxAniaMNIw2wZpt-SsYwnZRhc3ZJLMi6TXFkyzPnpJSfO7bYrCZ6c998OTqbN4DKQ8w"> &nbsp;2. “I’m no longer interested”We often hear these words from our clients. But we need to figure out exactly what caused the prospect's terrible previous experience, bring it out into the open and address it directly. Ask questions like “Have you just stopped looking or you just currently change your plans for now?” or you can also ask if your client has encountered a bad experience with other agents. If so, build their trust and confidence back. Reiterate your name for them to remember you can say “If ever you will change your mind, I’m one call away and I’ll be happy to assist in finding your dream home”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/26JGLPA4PDmcTk2O-XDwfh3ZjHYcJVLQPJ5D7uA1Tr0_6wzQXh0n7AmZjFGcTezVkrFFuyYTu4ZH0Y_FVASGSUMhHqEe9-GbUX0EQtybhZor9uvaOtlx500D8AZ_AhuXriVz0ah0jUQH2QUkEonkDBlI9UJJuEHj7s4oGrpNzvTHdOxYrkc4blRMvA"> 3. “I already found a property I have been eyeing to buy”If no agreement has been signed, no decision is ever final. You can react by saying, "It would be fantastic if you had a lot of options to choose from so you could compare the price and location. I would be delighted to offer you a proposal for the property that I’m handling right now” This would make them reconsider their choice and review what you offer. Give it your best shot and present the possible best offer that would match the property he/she is eyeing.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/odGVFqLjL-FGsOPz-W2lBflS_VAM2T2j11S_mMSosGuYukEH27KdUuS0jmhtT_fZ6st3HD8uvyr4VBIZypk3QDuEUdAzyZ3q2nKVIi0a_YE5Kcl6pb9O3EsbQnO5l_RXkFALlzumFlzJY7DCZrm4AfK4tY_SVTTpBFIStB9eFRbt1FRBF_eW_E4OAA"> &nbsp;4. “We don’t want to rush our decision”When everything feels right but your client is still hesitant. Usually, you can figure out why someone doesn't feel ready to buy or sell. If you have past clients you have helped in similar situations, tell them the story of how you managed to helped them this way they will be confident in trusting you as their agent. Make them feel comfortable and emphasize that you will for them as they come to a decision.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/rqURxOTO_eQuUVEr2g-_2-F0RZKOMgXIjKEaVXv8Nqa-Fq9zH_eVV_DpiGMA6ljivRA0MNlTEYiXl9fyFSa_FQCjeMIzkw48DmuaPWqqqkyq4XSV--xMb_-kemT9SzSNAZXxzqP7LXjMoVdvjgItw9tqyRQI8gLfxR1qGWytUVhCyKbujkO49XnooA"> &nbsp;5. “Your price recommendation is to high”Explain that the property you are offering equates to the quality of life that you will provide them as well as the current market value.Include information on the neighborhood, the business district, and the advantages the property has. With the present market value, their investment would probably treble up in a few years, allowing them to make a profit. Offer up flexible payment options and discuss where you could adjust. You can tell them that “With the current market conditions, this is the best offer you can get with its current market value” &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/kXTHZdCSxQdkSRwpwmYRZUJ9u_qzCNtCL8JouXaYY37lGQCgZvdjIiIECnH4clyP6CxL8RxOGeXYwLtZVNTi2d90oRDoGuNRqCqsS_InMIz4U-T03vGPqEP8ZNfnh-ud6tCBPzGn61ucnSocNDGcbtMke0U_CvYsfmMCsIAE91VGEw3le0KdwBEntw"> 6. “I think my best option is to rent for now”You can simply tell the client to think about long term investment.&nbsp; With investing in properties like condominiums or house and lot you get to build equity in your home with rent-to-own. This means your rent payments can become yours in the long run. Highlight the benefit it brings and the idea that by renting you cannot own it in your name. But with rent-to-own you become the sole owner of the property that you are renting.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/QddhtyypHkdXFsWr4_LBNvGEKkl8rOz6i6NB7IjZnmAd5rinEjyqR56-Igle-r7k8w3Zpctjs5wal02fesIyZ7UQ9oyzm0EnDLkMV0Z_OXqUc_6Wdsh4RMOo-cCMtLwMd7R2FVrZsVmUMOBFI5HbBxLXolB_4F7kdIa6FakTJbc34CUUbcOR1w6C0Q"> 7. “I’m not the one looking, I was just helping a family member”With their trust, you will be able to gain their recommendation and be referred to their family members. That is why it is critical to earn their trust and respond to their inquiries in every way possible. Building a network increases the chance of getting leads. Remember that if they are properly nurtured, they can become a future prospect buyer.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Ymz4ff0XTt3LccWJMB11F3yhspFNkhLENeTGAaT7apTWnZKELiyR1R-s-EsKe9lL6UxZN3vi5FQRY6k9lNXnQ-bHnPlWw5AmKs4xArLNGzM_pUcb6lZBC42OLZ1sT04tVJSfDQTDfN6d1YtWBkFr3cCxQbtcJY_1PnXzF5r3phuxRl4rlF1VOFP6bw">&nbsp;8. “I saw other properties that are much cheaper than what you’re offering”In this case, clients must have been canvassing and considering many options. They want you to feel intimidated with these remarks so that you will reconsider to lower down and to make the most out of what you offer. What you need to do is to highlight the quality of home that you will provide including its location, amenities, accessibility and the advantage of the property. You can begin by saying “This might true that there are a much cheaper options in the market, but if you take a look at my proposal you can see really see that the materials, the amenities and the quality equate the value of what we offer which make our property differ from others”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/essXIu5JJVKoh-wk69Tf8vgkO3cBZB3cjw-Vm1t0BeY677x_bhUt2J3yipP0Wt-rSdffOPAQSxkQKIEEJyNDX7-jHk90dlUFVJAb-ZNHSqzASIG0m3lQ_5zXlJ0vUGSLhHHM0DZh3b7S6tLrv2Eu5bWik6CQP3kguJzkE83i9r0ZNkKTDp263zxCwg"> If you have encountered objections, remember that these are part of every selling process.

The term small house refers to homes that are evidently smaller than average size. Nowadays, function versus grandiose wins over family homes because people are starting to invest in other things aside from their abode. There are several factors that led to this trend. Primarily, it is because of the increasing demand and cost of land especially in urban areas. The convenience brought upon by small homes makes it easier for families and young professionals to invest in it. Aside from this, the busy lifestyle of property owners usually makes their homes just a sweet spot to go home to. Hence, they opt for a more maximized home when it comes to space and minimal when it comes to furniture and space. It is also easier to maintain and to build. If you are on that stage of your life wondering if a small home would work for you, here are some of the advantages that will convince you to switch up and invest in your first small home yourself. &nbsp;AffordabilityGetting your hands on a lot and saving up for construction and renovation of an existing home would definitely cost a fortune.

First, it is easier to maintain. With the limited space available, property owners get more creative in maximizing their space so that every nook and corner has a function. Lesser space, lesser furniture means lesser effort for homeowners to clean it up. Smaller homes located in urban cities also provide the comfort and convenience of bringing all you need, near you. Most of the working professionals whether single or married value their time. Hence, when they invest in a small home like a condo or apartment that are near banks, hospitals, malls and grocery shops, they are ticking less time to spend on errands and they now have more time to enjoy with their families or for themselves. &nbsp;FlexibilityOwning or renting a small home is more flexible than investing a full blown property which will be harder to let go.

With the economy experiencing a volatile period due the pandemic, investors look for ways to diversify their portfolios and find investments, hence the renewed interest in REIT and real estate crowdfunding.These options have always been attractive to investors because both employ a form of money pooling to purchase and operate properties that in turn provide profit to investors. Pooled resources also help in lowering the risk to investors, compared to sole ownerships where the owner assumes all the risks.To make it simple, both are options to invest in commercial real estate without the hassle of operating and maintaining properties something that appeals to all kinds of investors. To maximize each real investor's priorities and capabilities, it is necessary to know more about both concepts.What is Real Estate Investment Trust, or REIT?REITs are companies or corporations that own real estate properties and allow people to invest in their properties through purchases of shares. The company or corporation will use these investments to purchase commercial properties such as apartment buildings, hotels, commercial hubs, and hospitals to name a few. The REIT then collects rent and distributes the income to the investors in the form of dividends.There are two types of REIT, one of which is the <a href="https://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/equity+REIT">equity REIT</a>, the more common one, where they invest in real estate and earn from rental incomes. The second type is the <a href="https://financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/mortgage+REIT">mortgage REIT</a>, making up only 10% of REITs, which invests in mortgage real estate and earns from interest on those properties.What is Real Estate Crowdfunding?Crowdfunding isn't a new concept and has evolved since the rise of social media. It refers to raising <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capital.asp">capital</a> from a large pool of investors to finance a project, idea, business, or innovation. When investors pour money into a project, they become partial owners of the property but elevates their risk as their investments are directly tied to the performance of that property. It does have a higher risk, but it also comes with a greater potential to earn.If a person wants to invest in real estate, but doesn't want to or have the capacity to maintain a building, they can become a lender to the developer and expert monthly fixed returns via a crowdfunding company. Any profit that comes from the real estate venture including rentals or property <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/flipping.asp">flipping</a> are passed on to the investor.Which is better?REIT can be considered as a short-term investment due to its liquidity but can also be used as a long-term investment that generates guaranteed income returns through dividends. These properties trade relatively easy like stocks, and help diversify an investor portfolio that can provide exposure to real estate without having to deal with owning properties and the hassle that comes with it.One of the biggest disadvantages of REITs is that they generally require high expenses, as real estate can come with maintenance costs that demand a deep pocket.Real Estate Crowdfunding investments are generally considered short-term and one of its biggest benefits is that investors can commit a lower amount of capital, and there are typically no investment fees needed such as<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/closingcosts.asp"> closing costs</a> or realtor commissions.A drawback for real estate crowdfunding is that for most projects, you have to be an accredited investor that meets specific criteria established by <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sec.asp">Securities and Exchange Commission</a> (SEC).If you're looking to invest in real estate, there may be merit in reading this <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/blog/investing-in-real-estate-this-year-read-this-article-first">article</a> first.

The pandemic paved a huge shift in how we work. With the forced quarantine rules, companies devised their ways to manage their workforce from home. With the use of virtual tools, worries that remote working lessens collaboration was proven wrong. According to a report from Global Workplace Analytics, 25-30% of the workforce will be working-from-home multiple days a week by the end of 2021. Are you one of the employees who now work several days at home? Or maybe, you have completely adopted a new system of managing your team from your own home? Either way, one thing is sure, you have thought of revamping your home office space right? Here are some tips to help you get started. &nbsp;Find your own space- The most important thing in working from home is having your own space or corner for work. Although it is tempting to just do your tasks in the bedroom or your living room, there can be distractions that will hamper your focus especially if you are living with family. It is still best to look for your own space where you can concentrate on work related tasks without being interrupted.&nbsp;Unclutter your space- Consider uncluttering by selling or giving away appliances, furniture and unnecessary stuff that take up space at home. This will give you more space for work equipment that can make your home office functional.&nbsp;Design your space- Improve your productivity by making your workspace pleasant to the eyes. Adding some plants, changing up the color of your wall, or choosing a comfy chair to sit on all-day are just simple ways to customize your work from home experience. Color communicates. Several studies state how the choice of color affects the overall performance of workers in certain spaces. You can get creative in decorating your work area and just follow what makes you feel happy. Find out which colors make you feel relaxed, passionate, or inspired and go for that. A well-designed space can improve your overall mood and can help you perform better.&nbsp;In the coming months or even years, the demand for bigger homes will continue to rise.

Revamp your home office space  

This Covid-19 crisis has brought at least 200,000 business permanently closed and over 2 million unemployed. The real estate industry is no exception. Without the traditional real estate selling and property viewing, how can a real estate license broker continued thriving and with his team depending on his leadership? Character and mindset that were molded on years of perseverance is what set Raffy Siapco who is the President and CEO of RS Property Manila apart from above the rest.&nbsp;SP: Tell us about how you started with your real estate career and who/what influenced you.&nbsp;RS: I never dreamed of being in the real estate industry. My background is really advertising. I had my own business in our province and when I went back to Manila to try another career, real estate seems to be the easier option. I started being an in-house real estate agent of a small real estate brokerage firm. When I learned the ins and out of the industry, I decided to become a freelance agent to cover more properties and more areas. I was a one-man show at that time. I want to elevate my expertise and services to the next level so I put up my own real estate brokerage firm RS Property Manila.&nbsp;My main objectives in putting up this brokerage firm are as follows:&nbsp;&nbsp;Be my own boss&nbsp;Help other people by giving them an employment opportunity to be a part of my team&nbsp;&nbsp;Serve more clients I cannot serve more if I am on my own.&nbsp;It has to be a team. After being a one-man show, I grabbed the golden opportunity of real estate to serve more clients. I hired my first staff who also served as my real estate agent, secretary, among other roles. My team then expanded to six (6) with each of them specializing in leasing, sales, property management, documentation, listing and consultancy. I call them my Power Team.SP: How difficult it was on your first few years and how did you navigate through it?RS: Let me classify it to personal and brokerage firm challenges.Personal Challenges&nbsp;My first few years were really difficult. As a freelance agent, I have to survive through a meagre allowance. I don't have a car at that time. I have to sell in order to keep my job and in order to survive the high living costs in Metro Manila. This has pushed me to take every sales inquiry seriously. I did not let go of every sales call. I had my share of distributing flyers under the heat of the sun, commuting from one place to another for property viewing, and representing myself well in client meetings no matter what the circumstances are.&nbsp;Brokerage Firm Challenges&nbsp;Our firm started in a small office efficient enough for us but not comfortable for us to move. Whenever there are clients meeting, we have to rearrange the office to accommodate them. We treated this as both a challenge and opportunity. I told my team that in order for us to move to a bigger and more comfortable office, we have to close more sales and serve more clients. Each one did their best and contributed to the sales of RS Property Manila. We are now located in Ortigas Central Business District &nbsp;a humble yet efficient and comfortable office for us and for our clients. I have instilled in my team the value of mindset and resiliency. I always told them that we have to have a hunter mentality to always look for opportunities to serve our clients. Bawal ang umaasa lang sa iba, Dapat laging naghahanap ng pwedeng mapagsilbihan. As long as there are client problems that we need to solve, then we will continue to exist and add value to them. It is in adding value to the clients that we earn kaya dapat customer oriented lagi. If there are any problems, I told them to be resilient. Meron at merong solusyon ang bawat problema at malalagpasan naming ito.&nbsp;SP: Tell me about your team and how are you guys adapting with this Covid-19 crisis.&nbsp;RS: The real estate industry is badly affected by this pandemic. Our office was closed since March 15 and we are operating from the comforts of our home. We are business as usual but observing the required health protocol of wearing a mask, observing personal hygiene, and observing social distancing during property viewing and sales closing. We embraced digitalization. In terms of sales, most of our leads come from online inquiries. By subscribing to an online platform, I felt I have another staff working with me. While the rest of us are attending to client needs, the online platform continues to provide sales leads. Nandyan na ang mga inquiries para sa amin. Tatawagan na lang namin to qualify and ask for more details so we can personalize our approach. This has made our lives easier and has resulted to increased sales. We leverage on our low hanging fruits and that is renewal of lease agreements. We reach out to our previous clients who have inquired with us but have not made any decision yet. We act fast on every online inquiry and we provide professional customer service.&nbsp;SP: Can you share us you best practices to stay in the competition and succeed.&nbsp;RS: Serve the clients first, sales will follow. I believe that real estate is a service industry. You serve the client first, you solve their problems, and once you solve their problems, sales will follow. Referrals will also follow. Word of mouth will follow. Before you know it, you already have widen your real estate network and sales leads will come to you instead of you chasing them. Embraced digitalization. Whether we are techy or not is irrelevant. Sales is becoming digital so might as well learn the ropes of it, embrace it, and choose an online platform to cater to more clients.&nbsp;SP: Message for brokerage owners like you and to brokers who plan to start their own realty.&nbsp;RS: Believe in yourself. As the click goes, What you think, you become. I told myself that one day I will have my own real estate brokerage firm, my own cars, my own condo units, and my other humble investments. All of these were realized because I believe in myself that I can. It was not a walk in the park. I had my share of lowest moments - countless rejections, back out sales, undeserving attitude of some people, among others. But my drive to succeed is bigger than all these challenges combined so I always look at the brighter side of things and proceed to achieve my goals. So believe.&nbsp;When all else fails, still believe and take actions to achieve your goals.Check out Raffy's available properties for sale <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/registration">here</a>.

When buying a condo, it important you know that every condominium community is different - and there are a lot of reasons to be considered in buying a unit.LocationOne of the biggest factors of a condo is its location. There are a lot of people who prefer to live near their workplace or school. The reasons lie not only because of the proximity of the condo to their work or school but also the establishments that are surrounding the condo. This makes all necessities accessible to the residents.The location of the condo also makes it an ideal space to buy to avoid the congested traffic the Philippines is known for. Not only does this reduce the time being stuck in traffic but also stress. Not to mention how commuting into the late-night can be difficult with less transportation available and also can be quite dangerous.&nbsp;AmenitiesCondo have various facilities available that range from a pool, playground, fitness gym, and sometimes basketball or tennis courts. The amenities usually come with your purchase of a unit in the condominium. Having these kinds of facilities ready and available within proximity makes it convenient for its residents to turn to when they want to do something like getting fit. This also creates an opportunity for them to build connections like meeting their neighbors or others who live in the same condominium.&nbsp;SecurityAnother factor is the security that condo provide. Condo commonly have gates with guardhouses at the entrances, locks, security personnel roaming around the premises, and sometimes, are even followed by trained canines. There are condominiums that even provide 24hour surveillance as well as on-call maintenance.Affordable&nbsp;If you're talking about affordability, compared to house and lots that are located in central business districts or widely populated areas, a condo is definitely more affordable especially if you are a young professional or a starting family.&nbsp;Form of Investment&nbsp;A condo is more practical than a house and lot since you can easily rent or re-sell it. All that is mentioned above, such as the location and amenities specifically, help increase the chances of selling or renting out the condo. Not to mention the demand for the condominiums increases as the economy expands, selling your condo would be easy.&nbsp;With these reasons, are you ready to start searching for your home near your workplace or school?

As a business that thrives on personal connections, it can be very difficult to do the usual activities towards a property sale. With tripping's and open houses out of the question right now, how do you make things work?If you are a real estate agent or broker:1. Schedule a live house tour.If you are living near or a walkable distance to the property you are showing, you can schedule a live house tour. This way, you can still drum up interest for people who are not only looking for properties in the location you are servicing, but also provide a real-time account of the property and the neighborhood during this health crisis. The live video will also provide an account of how well the neighborhood is doing in difficult or restricting situations. Agents can also entertain questions live while showing the house.You should also record your live tour so you can repurpose the video content for new leads.2. Use virtual tours.If your neighborhood will be on complete lockdown for a while, you can utilize virtual tours instead. Virtual tours are pretty handy when it comes to providing a visualization of the property you are selling or putting up for lease without compromising public safety and health.3. Schedule as promised, but practice precaution for you and your potential buyers.If curfew in your location has been eased out, and you have urgent buyers who are seeking properties to buy or rent, you can schedule one but make sure you implement the necessary public health measures.&nbsp;Implement social distancing by putting a one-meter spacing between you and your client. Make sure you wear not just a mask, but also a hairnet, body apron, protective hand, and shoe gloves before entering the property. Provide also the same gear to your clients.&nbsp;Make sure you are the only one who will open and close the doors and windows, and pull any knobs or openings to reduce the health risk. After showing, disinfect the entire property by yourself or hire a trusted cleaning service to do the job for you.4. Always follow through with the tripping or open house.It is very important that there is follow-through one or two days after tripping or house showing. Have a copy of a potential total contract price on hand to send over while on the phone with your potential client. Make sure your property listings have all the information needed to back it up.If the client requires more information about the residential or commercial project your property is located in, utilize project pages. Project pages at Signet Properties also come with relevant information like a commute map, updated Street View, and mortgage calculator.It is a challenging time indeed for the real estate market.

Here are tips that can help property agents, buyers and owners during the coronavirus market downturn in the Philippines.


Trippings, open houses during coronavirus? Here's how to make it work

If you are a real estate agent who is currently limited with delivering real estate services to your potential and current customers right now because of the latest community quarantine guidelines in effect due to the coronavirus, you are not alone.But you should know that the current downtime can be a great opportunity for you to expand your professional skills. Especially if the skills you will be learning during your downtime could lead to landing more clients, closing sales more quickly, or building genuine relationships with your customers.Here are the following skills real estate professionals should learn or brush up right now:1. VloggingVlogging, or video logging, is a preferred form of communication, more so for millennial's. Even if it contains some form of advertising, <a href="https://go.yumyumvideos.com/blog/why-millennials-love-online-video-content-and-why-you-should-focus-on-them-and-make-an-explainer-video">videos are preferable content your clients will most likely digest</a> as compared to, say reading a very long property newsletter.Showing your properties for sale or rent via vlogging will also help you capture your sales pitch in a form of content that you can re-share in tandem with your <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/accounts/property-listing">property listings at Signet Properties</a>, but also allows you to present your properties to clients who cannot make it to your trippings or showrooms for the time being.TIP: When showing houses using vlogging, talk using real estate know-how and logic using simple words that your clients can understand.2. Social media engagementSocial media is the fastest and the most accessible way for prospective homebuyers to consult with professionals about real estate matters. While social distancing might be in effect, social media can be your greatest tool not only in getting your properties marketed online, but also engage people who are interested in knowing more about your property towards the next investment step.And even if people are not inclined to buy yet, it makes sense to utilize social media to cultivate your professional connections and establish your reputation as a real estate expert. Your connections may not like the properties you initially offered, but you will definitely be their go-to person for buying or selling properties.It is common knowledge that every urban Filipino has a smartphone or has access to one. And as Filipinos spend a large chunk of their time on social media, it makes sense to utilize the social network to build your reputation as a real estate expert and eventually, a go-to person for buying or selling properties. More often than not, social media is the fastest and the most accessible way for prospective homebuyers to consult with professionals about real estate matters.TIP: Learn to recognize and block trolls. If you do encounter them, be polite and immediately block them. You can also hide their responses to clean up your social media feed.Because the Internet is a free for all, your social channels will most likely include the occasional social addicts looking for any avenue to increase their follow and those who seek discord or war simply for attention (see <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20011026130853/http://members.aol.com/intwg/trolls.htm">trolls</a>). If you encounter them in your social feeds, exercise patience by being polite when replying to them or choosing to ignore them. You can also moderate comments on your social feed by hiding their responses.3. Automated Customer ServiceIt never a waste of time to learn how to automate customer service. In this cutthroat industry, how well you respond to property inquiries does matter.If you are interacting with customers also outside of your property listings and project page subscriptions in Signet Properties, start looking at your other forms of client communication and find ways to automate it. Gmail, for example, has a feature where you can set up automatic replies. You can also set up Auto Reply in Messenger as well to handle follow-ups. A FAQ post consisting of answers to top property buying questions can also provide more insights without needing to make a call to you.You can also utilize automated forms to gather client information or electronic documents (i.e. letter of intent) in the hopes of fast-tracking the sale. Develop a confidence-scoring system using Google Sheets to help you determine which clients you have provided satisfactory service are worth investing your time and effort towards property buying.

Update your real estate skills while keeping it personal at this time of social distancing. You can even use these new skills now.


3 Digital Skills Real Estate Agents To Learn During Downtime

By now, you are currently on top of the latest development about the coronavirus spreading first in Metro Manila, and now to other major provinces as well. The current novel <a href="https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus">coronavirus</a> or COVID-19, according to the World Health Organization, is determined as the cause of the respiratory illness outbreak, which was first detected in Wuhan, China. As of this writing, there are <a href="https://www.rappler.com/nation/253645-philippines-first-local-death-coronavirus">49 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Philippines</a>, and both national and local health measures have been rolled out in efforts to reduce the spread of the virus.But depending on which news or update you are following, there is certain fear not only on getting the virus but on the performance of your real estate investments. Whether you are eyeing to make your first real estate investment, or already have one, read on.On the rental economyIn early February, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia said that the prolonged health crisis will <a href="https://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2020/02/08/philippines-braced-for-major-blow-to-economy-amid-coronavirus-scare">definitely have economic implications</a> not just in the Philippines, but worldwide. With tourism making up 5 percent of the country gross domestic product or GDP (450 billion pesos), the pandemic has already started prompt rebooking's or cancellations on rentals, and in effect reducing rental income.And if the pandemic persists, the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) expressed that initial estimates show the Philippine economy could stand to lose up to 0.7 percent of GDP or a whopping 133 billion pesos. The travel ban, which is currently in effect in affected countries like China, for example, among other health policies in effect are forecasted to reduce 10 percent in visitors and will then reduce economic production by 11 billion pesos -- all in one month. The agency said it is expected that the numbers will be higher should there be an increase in new COVID-19 cases.It is unclear if an increase in domestic tourism could help stave off the numbers, but one could help, this could at least keep the rental income going. And if the pandemic has yet to hit its peak while the economic reductions have already taken into effect, what will happen then especially to real estate properties that are yet to be paid in full? Whether if it means potential home loan defaults, an increase in interest expenses to shoulder or additional loans on top of an existing mortgage, the decision should be made evident.On the real estate professionIn the hopes of curbing the coronavirus infection in the Philippines, social distancing as a safety measure is encouraged to many Filipinos. This can be bad for real estate professionals who need to physically meet their clients to help them towards their property purchases.&nbsp;The risk of spreading the virus has already made people wary about anything related to contact - accepting fliers, going to trippings and even meeting with real estate brokers. While the Internet and social media have helped real estate agents and brokers still carry on their work towards real estate sales, it presents a new challenge for real estate professionals on how to present and represent their clients while retaining a personal touch.Agents who continue to engage with prospective clients in person will definitely take every safety measure just like a local business will do: install hand sanitizers or alcohol, wear gloves, distribute disinfectant wipes or mini versions of hand sanitizer or alcohol with their name or calling card on it, to wiping down every surface of their booths or show houses every after tripping visit to protect the next batch of prospective clients.And then there technology. Real estate ad platforms like Signet Properties have introduced <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/blog/buy-sell-condo-house-lot-signet-properties-ph">listing and property page technologies</a> to not only provide customers the information they need to make informed decisions but also present real estate agents and brokers as experienced, transparent real estate professionals. Aside from the smart and tech advancements introduced in the website, real estate professionals who signed up and list under Signet Properties can also reap the benefits of promotional efforts for the latter to keep up with the buying demand in its platform, such as featured property promotions, lead qualification, and verification services, and online customer service.While physical interaction and engagement are always preferred in the real estate business, it is still up to everyone in the industry, from the real estate agents, brokers, to property owners, to make accommodations and keep the industry going. COVID-19 seems to be a scary threat to not just the real estate industry, but to our way of life, but it is up to us on what changes we can do to cope and strive in this pandemic.

How does the Coronavirus impact the Philippine Real Estate Industry?


The Impact of the Coronavirus Scare in the Philippine Real Estate Industry

Real estate properties are a great financial investment. But it can be a source of headache if in the future for your surviving heirs. It can get more troublesome too if the properties come with a mortgage balance or if there is no will to indicate your wishes in managing your real estate investments.Then what should you consider now to make sure that such problems would not happen when it comes to your properties as a future inheritance? Here are X tips on how to manage your real estate should the inevitable happens:1. Start early.If in case it happens, to whom will you entrust your hard-earned investments? Deciding on who will take accountability and responsibility is important, especially if you have just started mortgage on your real estate properties.&nbsp;This is because there are holding costs incurred every day a property is held onto. In some cases, real estate properties might lose their market value if the heirs haven been settled.2. Provide your intended heir proper ownership documentation.If you intend to pass on your real estate to a chosen heir, you can do so under Art. 725, 618a, which states that you can donate your property to your heir on paper via Donation Inter Vivos or legal donation. Have the necessary documents prepared, signed and notarized with a lawyer or legal representation on board. In some cases, you can also put in extra terms and conditions that your heir will also agree.Moreover, work with your broker on getting copies of the following ownership documents on hand. You can work with your lawyer in providing authenticated copies of the following documents should the time comes:Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT) for condo units, or&nbsp;Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) for single houses and raw land donated, orOriginal Certificate of Title (OCT)The Deed of Donation your heir should have a copy of should also contain the following terms:Both your and the heirs complete names;A detailed description of the donated property;Your intention and purpose why you are donating the property;Both your and the heirs signatures; andThe notarial acknowledgment.3. Get your propertys market value assessed periodically.When we say periodically, we say at a time when you think your property has increased its market value. For example, get your propertys valuation assessed whenever a fixed home improvement like an additional bedroom or if a city infrastructure is underway to be developed. Contact your local city assessor to get this done.4. Pay the real estate taxes on time.One of the most common blockers to settling real estate inheritance among families is the unsettled real estate property taxes. Settling them on time and without incurring any penalties will help reduce the burden should you pass on unexpectedly. Some people even set up an emergency fund to cover those expenses well after.Get your propertys latest Tax Declaration from the City Assessors office. To process your request, present proper documentation such as your valid ID and an old Tax Declaration or any proof of verification.If you intend to donate your property to your heir instead, make sure you also pay the donors taxes. According to <a href="http://www.bir.gov.ph/index.php/tax-information/donor-s-tax.html">Republic Act 8424</a>, donors need to pay a minimum of 2% of the excess over P100,000.Once you paid them, you will be issued a Certificate Authorizing Registration (CAR) and Tax Clearance (TCL). These two documents are required in order for the Registry of Deeds to process the property transfer.5. Consider selling ahead.If you are not planning to keep some of the properties, selling it at a premium higher than the propertys current market value is a much more favorable option. You may not be able to take advantage of the next economic trend favorable to real estate in the future, but you can certainly take advantage of the time you decide on selling your property and making your investment more liquid and easy to manage.

Here are several considerations you should take when planning to pass on your real estate properties as an inheritance.


5 Tips to Manage Your Real Estate For Inheritance

If you are planning to buy a condo in the Philippines, it is important that you secure the right documentation towards property ownership. As a future owner, having proper documentation not only protects your invested time, money and effort, but will also act as proof or reference should there be any hiccups in the condo buying process.We list down the six documents you will need at every stage of the condo buying process:1. Like the property already? Prepare a Letter of IntentA Letter of Intent contains information about the conditions of the potential sale between you as a buyer and the seller, whom the real estate agent represents. Also known as the Offer to Purchase, the documentation should include details like the date of your offer, property description, the price you are willing to pay to purchase the property, and spot cash payment you intend to pay to express your intention to buy the property.The Letter of Intent is given to the real estate agent or broker to formalize the purchase of the property.2. Want to put the property you like on hold? Ask for a Reservation AgreementA Reservation Agreement is a document issued by the real estate agent or broker that signals the next stage in the condo buying process -- you are now asking the real estate agent or broker to exclusively put the property on hold for you to buy it. The Reservation Agreement will include details you initially expressed in your Letter of Intent plus additional information, including:<ul><li>the property's complete address</li><li>property type</li><li>property floor area,</li><li>your preferred payment option (spot cash, in-house, bank financing) and payment terms</li></ul>Moreover, the Reservation Agreement also signals your agreement to pay the spot cash payment or reservation fee within a contracted period to show your sincerity in your offer. The spot cash down payment is usually a non-refundable, fixed amount that will be deducted to the property's total contract price.If either of you decide to back out from the Reservation Agreement, both of you are legally required to give back what has been given and received.The Reservation Agreement also signals the fact that you have agreed and will pay the fee or the earnest money asked by the seller. The fee, which is typically a fixed, nonrefundable amount, should be paid within a contracted period to show that you are sincere with your offer on the property. The fee would then be deducted against the total contract price.3. Secure a home loan by providing proof of financial capacityFacilitate you moving into the next stage of the condo buying process, it is important that you work with the real estate or broker to determine which financial documents would increase your chances of getting property financing.The following document types will help you get started with securing these documents before applying for a home loan:<ul><li>A completed financing application form</li><li>The application form will ask you to fill in the information necessary to assess your capability to shoulder responsibility as a long-term borrower.</li><li>Identification</li><li>Proof of income These documents should be able to confirm your capability to pay your mortgage: &nbsp;</li><li>Documents usually requested as proof of income are your latest Income Tax Return (ITR), company-issued payslips, and Certificate of Employment (COE). In some instances, the lender will ask your employment contract with salary breakdown and even bank statements.</li><li>Lenders may ask additional proof of income from self-employed individuals, freelancers, or foreigners with a Filipino spouse. This is to ensure that they will follow through with the condo buying process.</li><li>Identification. Most lenders accept IDs prescribed as valid to enter into a financial transaction under <a href="http://www.bsp.gov.ph/regulations/regulations.asp?type=1&amp;id=2059">Circular 608 of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas</a>.</li><li>Supplemental documents</li><li>Real estate buyers who will co-purchase with another individual will need to provide additional documentation to establish relationships and financial capability.</li><li>Real estate buyers who will be purchasing a condo through a representative will also need to provide a Special Power of Attorney document.</li></ul>4. Get a Letter of Guarantee from the lender once financing is approvedIn most cases, the lender will directly coordinate and provide the Letter of Guarantee to the real estate agent or broker to let them know financing is approved. This document is important as it lets the real estate agent or broker know that they finance a percentage of the total contract price, even if in the case that you default on your payments. The document will include what is the agreed loanable amount, which can be up to 90% of the total contract price, when and how the loanable amount is issued.5. Review the Contract to Sell before signing.A Contract to Sell, which will be issued by seller represented by the real estate agent or broker, is a detailed-oriented contract about your property purchase. The document contains the sales provisions both you and the seller needed to comply with before the purchase is fully paid. It will also include terms and conditions that might render the contract null and void, and what are the resolutions prescribed should any of you decide to terminate the condo buying journey.When all of the conditions are met, the next document (Deed of Absolute Sale) will be issued based on the signed Contract to Sell.6. Secure and file the Deed of Absolute Sale with the Registry of DeedsThis document essentially indicates that the seller is transferring physical ownership of the property to you through the sale. This is issued after you have complied with the terms and conditions of the Contract to Sell. Filing this document with the Registry of Deeds helps you formalize the sale and secure the next, albeit very important document as legal proof of ownership.7. Secure your Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT)Finally, the property is now legally yours! The Registry of Deeds will issue one copy for you and another one to be kept at the agency for future references.8. File a Tax DeclarationHead to the City Assessor's office and request a Tax Declaration form. This document essentially signals the Bureau of Internal Revenue that they will leverage all tax obligations to you. In order to process the Tax Declaration, you need to secure a photo of your condo unit and your CCT. Still need help with buying a condo in the Philippines?

Make the condo buying process smoother by anticipating and preparing these legal and documentary requirements.



Buying a Condo? Make sure You have these Documentary Requirements Ready

Especially in a competitive market, selling any type of product or service can be really challenging, frustrating and time-consuming. You have to open up to a prospective client first, present your offer so that it looks more beneficial to the client, follow up with the progress until you get that sweet yes.And then you have to do this with probably 5 or 6 other clients, each with different wants and needs and personalities.Signet Properties recently conducted its first Real Estate Sales Training with mentor Glennis Nitafan of Re/Max Premier Manila. Nitafan, who brought over 20 years of experience in real estate experience from low, mid and high subdivisions and condominiums, shared some insights on how he and his team continue to close real estate sales.Tip #1: Dont spend so much time on marketing.Talking to our first batch of early-adopter trainees, he said, I can say 70% you spend it on marketing. By doing all the online and traditional marketing palang ubos na oras mo. That's what I realized na madalas nagmamadali ang isang agent kase transactional siya, because he doesn't have enough time anymore, because karamihan ng time nya na yung kinonsume nya sa marketing.The real part why you're here in real estate is to sell. Pero nakakalimutan nyo most of the time, build relationships, take time, hindi yung pagupo benta kaagad. Kamustahin mo, para maintindihan mo kung fit sya dun sa property na binibigay mo, that's why you're a property specialist, he said.Tip #2: Engage with clients who are genuinely seeking you out.While it can be tiring to entertain all prospective clients, Nitafan said it is actually better to entertain clients who are seeking you out. There is not much effort put in to engage with interested clients as compared to leads who only associate you with your listing ads or posts.Now how do you make prospective clients seek you out? Establishing your brand at the onset is key. If you are a Signet Properties user, it is important that you use a professional photo as your broker image and provide your name and valid contact number. This demonstrates your transparency and openness as a professional.Tip #3 Seek your team.Nitafan, who is also part of the executive management of Re/Max Premier Manila, said, Real estate is hard to do. Pag wala ang team what will happen to you? Disabled, wag yung ikaw lang, like yung Golden State Warriors, isang team yan, lahat yan gumagawa, may matututunan ka sa bawat isa So seek your team. There are many people willing to help but you have to ask for it.Being with the right people can help you tremendously. If you feel that you are not in one, try to seek consultation with other teams or other colleagues. You will be surprised with the amount of information and input they will provide to help you close your sale.Tip #4: Close more and close better.The trick to closing more and better is to create a sense of urgency while guiding them towards the end of the line.Nitafan shared, So why are we closing more? Because we always ask for the sale. Pagdating sa condo, you like the condo? Okay if you want to make an offer on this I'll send you the letter of intent, so you send it to the client now, like what's your full name, I just sent it to your email for signing. If wala, here's my iPad, sign mo lang, sign mo yung letter of intent, ganon.Nitafan also said another trick is to make your clients feel that they are taking the lead, but do step up your subject matter expertise when needed. He added, Our job is to close sales. Pagdating (sa condo), oh okay ba sayo? Bigay ko na, that's it. I'm not there to present it to you, ilang sqm to ganyan ganyan, ito po yung kitchen, halata naman tong kitchen, yung iba napakadaldal. When you show a house, just stay there. Sa likod ka lang. Kapag may tanong, what kind of wood is this? That when you, ay this ganyan ganyan. Kailangan alam mo yung mga detalye na yun. Pati gripo alam mo. Tignan mo yung heater, dapat kabisado mo yan.&nbsp;Tip #5: Strategize on how to overcome objections.This is our business - 99% rejection, Nitafan said. This being said, it is important to come up with a strategy for any type of objection to reduce resistance. Opening and sharing this strategy with your sales team is good too as they can probably think of other scenarios without testing an ongoing client relationship.Missed our first Real Estate Sales Training?

How To Close A Real Estate Sale Faster

When thinking of investing real estate in the Philippines, popular locations to look up in are central business districts or CBDs. CBDs are quite popular as they are considered focal points of a city, and therefore have a high return on investment potential.However, there are still some who show hesitation in investing in these locations, especially if it means investing big. We debunk the following concerns about investing real estate in a CBD.1. Are the properties there expensive?CBD properties are often perceived as expensive and hard to attain. Aside from it being marketed as a postcard location, the number of tall prospective properties, abundant transportation accessibility and high density, one will think that you need to invest big in order to buy or rent a condo in such a prime location.But the CBD is about perception, and a CBD is often defined by what people visually think of where Bonifacio Global City or Ayala Business District starts and ends, which is usually a cluster of tall buildings, urban activity, and lack of parking.From a real estate investment perspective, CBD properties are expected to fetch a higher price because they are located on Peak Land Value Intersection. Peak Land Value Intersection is the intersection in the city with the most valuable real estate. Developers who build and develop real estate located in a Peak Land Value Intersection rarely leave room for parking areas and instead focus on vertical projects like skyscrapers to optimize land use.2. Does a CBD property come in with expensive real estate tax and other fees?The notion of CBD properties being sold or rented at high prices also comes with the assumption that investors will also need to shell out high for real estate taxes and other fees. However, local government units are making efforts to make real estate investments in CBDs achievable. For example, some cities offer tax discounts of up to 20% to those who pay before the prescribed deadlines. Association fees might be higher than normal because future tenants and property owners will then be subscribed to property management systems such as building maintenance, security, mailing, and even garbage disposal and recycling3. Is the cost of living in CBD quite expensive?While CBDs are renowned for their cultural and entertainment hotspots, there is the perception that you need a lot of money to actually live in BGC or Makati, for example.It may seem it but the number of working-class professionals in CBDs opened opportunities for entrepreneurs to establish affordable entertainment, dining, and shopping options. Affordable hole-in-the-walls and convenience stores are saving graces for professionals who are on a daily budget. Fast food restaurants like McDonald's, Jollibee and KFC are also transforming as places where professionals can conduct meetings. In residential condominium buildings, specialty grocery stores and small restaurants are just a few floors down.Moreover, commuting around the CBD is surprisingly affordable. Most CBDs have pedestrian systems that would allow people to walk to and from their homes or offices simply by walking. CBDs also have great public transport systems that are situated in strategic locations.4. Are CBDs family-friendly?Recently, a steady rise in CBDs located in edge cities has been observed. Edge cities are defined as sizable urban locations that are largely retail or shopping-focused and have more jobs than homes. But development in edge cities now have more emphasis on lifestyle development to encourage not only residents but visitors to spend time, and of course, spend their tourist dollars in. Bonifacio Global City, for example, is attracting outsiders daily not just for their shopping malls but also for family-friendly hotspots like art exhibits, food festivals, dance and music competitions, free movie screenings and lifestyle parties.5. Can live in a CBD for that long?If you are planning to invest in a condo, a serviced residence, or an estate in a CBD for your future home, perhaps a better question is this: what aspects of your lifestyle are the most important for you?If job opportunities, convenience, and recreational diversity are for you, then living in a CBD location should be your choice. This appeared to be the consensus of around 5,000 new homeowners back in 2017 according to this report about <a href="https://www.scribd.com/doc/96408948/Taguig-Population-Data">Barangay Ususanâ€™s population</a>.Looking for property recommendations in a central business district?

5 Concerns of Investing Property in a Central Business District (CBD)

They say that in real estate, location matters when looking for a property to invest in. But how would one know if the location is the right one? Plenty would say that the location is right if the properties in the area are priced higher than the average market value in the city.&nbsp;If you are still in your property shopping phase, here how to evaluate a location potential to increase your future property market value:<h4>1. There is a steady increase in property development.</h4>New infrastructure and buildings in a neighborhood indicate that you are not the only one who has seen potential in the area. Moreover, the developers behind the new infrastructure and buildings also have the resources to research and plan their projects to return-of-investment realization.But you don't have to think about doing similar research. Just now that these new developments will help usher in new goods and services that are accessible.TIP: It can be quite easy to spot new development if you are in the area. But if you cannot be physically in the area, you can always check out real estate news in the area.&nbsp;<h4>2. The location is turning into a major transportation hub.</h4>One criterion of a centrally-located neighborhood is the number of public transportation options. If the location is accessible to jeepney and bus routes, that would be great. Plus points if the location is accessible to major commuter transport systems like the MRT and LRT.On the other hand, you must also consider a location walkability as another mode of transport. Locations with great pedestrian infrastructure such as pedestrian crossings, wider pedestrian and/or bike paths are attractive to people who would like a home that they can make a short trip to and from their office or school.<h4>3. The neighborhood is a local tourist hotspot.</h4>What is a location that is not fun to go around in? This rings true to any other person who is looking to settle in the neighborhood. Fitness enthusiasts will welcome a nearby park or a gym that is five minutes away from where they live. Millennials would rather live near a central business district or a neighborhood that is accessible to urban conveniences such as a shopping mall or a foodie hotspot.<h4>4. The neighborhood is on developable land.</h4>It can be tricky to determine if the location you are eyeing is a developable land. The keyword here in finding one, however, is proximity. Locations are highly sought out, even those that have condos for sale or rent higher than the market average, because of their close proximity to major cities. This is because the properties in such locations will remain in demand even in a bad economy.TIP: Choose a cul-de-sac location. Once seen as land with no prospective future value, they are now most favored by starter families. This is because they are areas in-between neighboring cities that will still provide exclusivity and privacy. &nbsp;<h4>5. The neighbors are younger.</h4>A neighborhood composed of a younger demographic helps keep the location in-demand in the real estate market. Newlyweds, starter to growing families, and yuppies crave physical engagement with the community and will influence the demand for goods and services in the area.<h4>6. The location offers excellent public infrastructure and services.</h4>This can be difficult to find online, but it does pay to check the location access to public infrastructure and services. They are, after all, an indicator of an efficiently-run local government.<h4>7. If your home is a short walk to quality schools.&nbsp;</h4>Any homebuyer who has a growing family definitely wants a property that is close to quality schools. While there might be no available data to back up this claim, common sense will tell you that a property owned near at least a couple of educational institutions have more resale and lease demand.Looking for a property that is accessible to schools or transport hubs?

7 Things To Look For In A Neighborhood that Increases Property Value

Everyone wants to have their own house someday. Whether it be a house and lot or a condominium unit, it does not matter as long as it is the place that we can call our own and go home to.&nbsp;But the process of saving for it can be quite taxing since a home isn't exactly cheap, especially if you're buying your first home. It can seem impossible to achieve, but if you wisely save and lessen your expenses, anyone can attain their dream home in the near future.&nbsp;Here are some tips you can use to save for your future dream home.1. Set a realistic budget&nbsp;Avoid buying a property that you cannot afford to keep. Owning a house doesn't end with just buying the house. You need to also shoulder maintenance fees on top of other expenses like periodic association dues, real estate property taxes and improvements.So ask yourself: how much can you really set aside as your home budget? What things can you live with or without? How much do you need to live daily? This includes not only the down payment for the house but the taxes, insurance, and maintenance for it. In a way, it can be a practice that you allocate your budget for these expenses which makes it easier for you when you buy the house itself.&nbsp;Once you have a set figure in mind budget, in a way you will find yourself micromanaging your finances and spending only what you need to reach your homebuying budget.2. Make a habit of allocating monthly mortgage estimateThe first few months of paying off your monthly mortgage might be smooth-sailing, but it might not be if there are some emergency expenses. On the other hand, auto-allocating them allows you to put that mortgage money out of sight. Make a savings plan that is more manageable. Start by saving an approximated amount required to pay off your monthly mortgage.&nbsp;3. Augment your incomeThe only way to get more than enough for your budget is to create multiple income streams or increase the income stream.&nbsp;Besides your income from your work, you can take on part-time jobs online or sell stuff you don't need. Online jobs like teaching online and writing papers are quite common even for college students. Selling stuff you don't need by posting on websites or groups in social media can be convenient too.&nbsp;But before you do that, you need to ask yourself questions before deciding on taking more work:How much extra income do I want to earn?Do I have the time to do this?Am I capable of doing this job?Otherwise, you can entertain a promotion or a salary increase. Either way, these steps will both mean more work and responsibilities for you.4. Increase your government contributionsIncreasing your monthly contributions means better credit standing with Pag-IBIG. And if you intend to finance your real estate investment through them, now is the time to assess and increase your contributions to the maximum allowable amount.5. Involve members of the family in the budgetA dream house usually involves not only one person but the family as a whole. Having a budget that is backed by the whole family is a factor that can aid in saving for the house. This house benefits not only you but the future members of the family who plan to live in the future home for the longest time.&nbsp;

Having trouble saving money for your dream home? Here are some tips on how you can save for that condo, townhouse or house and lot you are looking forward to living in. 


Tips on Saving Up for your Future Dream Home

A huge portion of the property buying (and even selling) process involves working with a real estate agent. From the first time you contact one with an interest about a condo for sale in BGC or a house and lot in Cavite, you will be talking to the real estate agent back and forth, and sometimes repeatedly, about many things regarding the property you are interested in.But for those who have started their homebuying journey, it can be difficult to find the one who will work with you the way you want it to be. Like any other profession, some agents are good, some are bad with communication, and some are in between.

Know what your real estate agent can and cannot do for you.Real estate agents can provide information that is pertinent to the condo, house and lot, townhouse, or commercial property you are interested in. Your real estate agent can also do the following, including:Consultation to find the property you need, including location, neighborhood, etc.;Financing options, including pre-approval&nbsp;Tripping or property tourPurchase price negotiationBut just like any other person, there are some things that your real estate agent cant do or unable to do unless you get the agent permission. For example, is your real estate agent comfortable with your 9PM calls or 6AM emails? Will you still continue to work with your real estate agents and consider other professionals? Up to what point in your negotiations with your real estate agent can you cancel? If you have questions like any of them, make sure you voice them out to your real estate agent.2. It pays to be professional, even if the real estate agent does not afford the same courtesy at times.From the moment you inquire about the property online, you are already in negotiation mode with the real estate agent, and there are certain professional expectations you will need to respect. Since you have initiated the contact, you are already engaging the real estate agent expertise and time.&nbsp;3. Document your agreements.When engaging with your real estate agent, make sure that any agreements that involve major commitments should be in writing and notarized. You all thank us later come the time when even the most minute or smallest of details could be the contesting point in your sales contract (i.e. pet policy, parking privileges, unpaid association fees), and could very well be the leverage you need to resolve your complaint in your favor.4. If a misunderstanding arises, don't play the blame yet.If you and the real estate agent have a misunderstanding, determine first if it is or if it is a difference in your interpretation of a clause or agreement. Read everything that was sent to you first, including your text messages or emails in case something might jump out. If it is still unacceptable, schedule a meeting to sort out or compromise on something you can both agree on.&nbsp;5. If no resolution arises, move on or seek help elsewhere.Your real estate agent will always understand if you decide to not continue working with him and her. But if you treat your real estate agent with professional courtesy throughout your engagement, your real estate agent might help you in other aspects, like referring you to another one who can or suggest a property that might be worth your while instead.6. Be honest.If there are things that are not in order on your end, let the real estate agent know. Remember, you are not the only client here. Be upfront and tell it as it is so the real estate agent can resolve things faster.7. Don't take it personally.Real estate agents are more receptive and helpful if you keep your cool. At the end of the day, you are both trying to reach a similar goal, which is finding a property to its new home.

Real estate agents can make or break your deal. You owe it yourself and to your financial future to understand how they work, and this is no small challenge.

How To Get What You Really Want With Your Real Estate Agent

Have you ever wondered why some people have the golden hands when it comes to real estate? If they have superstitions or rituals that they follow to turn their real estate investments into profit or equity? If there is a specific property type or amount that they need to invest, or waiting period in order to turn profit quickly?Here are investment tips to turn your luck in real estate this year:Consider the current real estate market.Lucky real estate investors actually take time to understand the real estate market before making any buying or selling decisions. They read up a lot of news sources and/or watch relevant shows about the current state of the property market. The knowledge they gathered allowed them to come in prepared well before they first communicate with a real estate agent or broker.Explore different investment opportunities.Buying a condo for sale in BGC for rental income is not the only investment opportunity. Consider investing in other real estate types such as a house and lot to lease out as a vacation home. Commercial or office real estate, which is pretty in demand nowadays.If you have an initial aversion to investing big in a property, you may consider <a href="https://flint.com.ph/">crowdfunding a real estate project</a>. You can start with a minimum of P1,000 a share of a project that is managed to an optimum return of investment by a professional broker.Spot the good buys.Lucky real estate investors usually rely on math to determine if the property is a good buy. Two popular methods are:One-percent rule: According to this rule, calculate the property total upfront cost and then multiply it to 0.01 or 1%. To calculate the total upfront cost of the property, you should include purchase price, plus closing costs. For ready-for-occupancy projects, you should also consider repair or improvement costs needed to make it rentable. If the amount is at or over one percent, then you may consider it as a good buy.Capitalization rate: There are four figures you need to determine before you compute for the capitalization rate. These are:Gross income. You may come up with an estimate based on the current rent prices for similar properties. Multiply the estimated gross income by 11.5 months, allowing a two-week vacancy per year. Deduct this amount from the purchase price.Monthly operating expenses. You may also estimate or consult a broker to get an estimated total of operating expenses, which also includes utilities, taxes, and maintenance. Do not include the mortgage payment. Deduct this amount from the gross income to get the net income.Purchase price. Divide the net income by the purchase price.&nbsp;Multiply the amount you determined prior by 100 to get the cap rate.Understand what it really takes to make the investment.The internet may be a gold mine when seeking opportunities. But it is always best to speak with a real estate professional if you need a better understanding of what you are getting into. Also, understand the risks involved in your investment decision so you would know if you can accept them before making one.Listen to your gut feeling.Sometimes, your first intuition is always right. Trusting your biology can be your friend when information overwhelms you. If you are unsure, you can always step back or reconsider. It is not a missed opportunity if your gut urges you to not take it.In conclusion, the possibility of striking gold in real estate is dependent on how much hard work and learning you invest as well. Knowing what you are doing in any real estate climate will definitely give you an advantage as you will by then know when to create the opportunity. Want to explore your luck?

Real estate is a high-risk, high-reward investment. Here is the secret formula to get real lucky with property investing.


This Is How To Get Really Lucky In Property Investing Starting 2020

In a competitive real estate market, you need to list your condo, townhouse, house and lot, or commercial property online. That is why its the norm to list your property in any online classifieds, real estate portals, or even in social media, especially those that offer them for free. It is even better than marketing your listings via the traditional means like flyering.But the next question you should be asking is this: Are you really getting the visibility you need to get the leads you need? Sure, getting your property listed for free is a business saving you're willing to take, but wouldn't it make sense to really invest in your listings if this means spending more money on leads who are most likely will buy the property?Paying more attention to what you post on your real estate listing may sound absurd to you, but hear us out. In a saturated online listings space, listings that look more curated and presented in an informative, exciting manner stand out better than generic listingsWe share best practices in developing and publishing your real estate listings online:1. Use images/videos that have more visual appeal.It is easy to borrow images and videos from the developer and use that for your condo, townhouse, house and lot or commercial space listing. But have you ever thought how many other agents and brokers are also using the same images and video?If you are okay with that, how about providing other images that will address some of the most common homebuying questions: Does it have a parking lot? What are its common areas? Which establishments are near this property? Investing in good camera work also allows you to produce and exclusively use your images.If you are worried about other people appropriating your images/videos, you can or ask your graphics editor to add a watermark bearing your brand.2. Make sure that you have provided all the property details, and them some.A well-listed property is considered high-level content and not spam. Moreover, potential homebuyers will skip listings that are lacking in information.&nbsp;If you want to be truly unique, you can provide information that will be helpful to homebuyers who are very specific about their property needs. Is the unit near the staircase or the fire exit? Is it on the second tower? Which bank financing options are available for this property? Does the RFO property allows improvements?You can even add links to, for example, its Google Map address and articles about the neighborhood it is in or information about other real estate developments in the community.3. Set a title that properly describes your property to the relevant homebuyersDo not compete with other listings that has long attached themselves to common search keywords like condo for sale or apartment for rent. Instead, think about how you can describe your property within 70 characters.For example, instead of settling with RFO McKinley BGC condo for sale Stamford Executive Residences Mega world, how about 2BR furnished w/ parking Stamford Executive Residences BGC for Sale or 2BR condo w/ parking Stamford Executive Residences McKinley for Sale? While the first one is not that bad, Mega world is already an established search word, and you would want potential homebuyers who are actually looking for a condo unit in the actual property.4. Show them who you arePromote your professional brand by uploading a LinkedIn-appropriate profile image and your name. If you represent a broker franchise, check with the online platform on how to promote your professional brand in other aspects of your listing while complying with the listing process guidelines.5. Take the initial sales call rules by heart, then automate some of the tasksAbiding to some basic fundamentals, no matter how busy you are, will really make a difference no matter what your offering is.While not all leads specifically chose your property listing, it is possible that your leads are looking for a specific property type in mind. Real estate professionals who are often taken aback with questions about a property that is not part of their inventory fail to understand the target market their property listings are catering to. Learn to turn these instances into opportunities to qualify their needs and present your inventory as formidable solutions.And if you find yourself doing some of the tasks repeatedly, think of ways to automate your responses. For example, you can compile a list of spiels on your phone that you can copy, edit, and post. If you are pretty swamp, set some reasonable expectations in your responses.6. Have a pre-selling property for sale? You can forgo all of these and invest in proactively grabbing or receiving incoming inquiries instead.No need to upload your content! <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/accounts/sales-inquiry">Simply list your property as pre-selling</a> and find out how you can optimize your listings visibility online with our Developer pages.List your property now with Signet Properties! <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/accounts/property-listing">Click here to upload your properties now</a>.

Reasons Why You Need To Pay More Attention To Your Real Estate Listing

Whether marriage is or not in the cards yet, the thought of investing in a real estate property with your significant other is much scarier than buying a condo, townhouse or house and lot on your own. Property buying means sharing the responsibilities of keeping the home well after you have paid your mortgage in full.It also gets more complicated if your relationship falls apart, even if you plan to walk in the aisle in the near future. How do you actually fulfill your real estate commitment, especially if you hate each others guts?Here are some best practices you should apply when taking the homebuying plunge with your boyfriend or girlfriend. These can also apply to family members or friends as well:1. Draft a co-investment agreement first.A co-investment agreement is a simple contract between you and your partner/family member/friend that outlines terms and conditions you will both agree to in buying the property. This way, everything is outlined in paper and any disagreements that may arise will be resolved accordingly as per agreement.&nbsp;Moreover, this will also dismiss the emotional quotient when dealing with disagreements. You will actually thank us for this later.Before signing, you may want to have legal representation present and explain the terms and conditions as agreed and record the event before signing and notarizing the co-investment agreement.2. Determine how to purchase and finance your property, including upkeep and documentation costs.It is normal for couples to split the down payment and amortizations to a certain percentage. In some cases, others will agree to one taking care of coming up with the entire down payment and the other shouldering amortization payments.&nbsp;Whatever the financing setup is, make sure it is well defined to clarify your roles in the homebuying process.3. Plan the inevitableAt this point, some couples will disagree on the idea of considering terms in case of a breakup, or extenuating circumstances like loss of job or death. Because love, right? However, this is extremely important for two reasons.&nbsp;One reason is that an agreement written in paper enforces the couple to fulfill their responsibilities in handling situations that will most likely be too emotional or overwhelming to handle.&nbsp;Also it will help mediate things regarding property ownership as either tenants in common (each partner owns a proportionate share of the property) or joint tenants with right of survivorship (each partner owns an equal share of the property and has the right of survivorship if one passes away).4. Do every significant step as a pairYou each may have well-defined roles in the agreement, but being there together at every homebuying milestone is important. This way, you do not miss certain aspects of your investment as you move towards the next stage of your homebuying journey.Moreover, payments should be done in a joint account. You can both set up automatic monthly payments to fund the joint account for all costs and expenses related to your homebuying journey. This also reduces the hassle of sorting out the costs because using one account simplifies your budget tracking.5. And finally, learn to respect each otherWhatever happens, there should be a certain level of respect you afford to your partner. Respect means following through with your commitment and responsibilities as a co-investor. Never use emotional baggage to settle your disputes nor use arguments as leverage to gain the upper hand.&nbsp;If you both decide to settle this in court, the court will always refer to your sales contract and investment agreement (if you decide to heed our #1 advice).Ready to invest in a condo, townhouse or house and lot with your partner? <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/">Search for your potential investment here</a>.

This is particularly useful if you intend to have an area for a small kitchen, living room or bedroom. It also creates a sort of boundary if you want privacy for yourself or for your guests if the bedroom has no wall or anything that separates it from the common areas.2. Get furniture fitted for small spacesMulti-purpose furniture are perfect in furnishing small spaces. And because they are multi-purpose, you only buy what you actually need. An example of a multi-purpose furniture is a bed that can be converted into a sofa.Make sure also that the dimensions of your furniture are up to scale to your actual condo size and your needs.3.

Do you plan to paint your walls?Painting your walls can give you the freedom to do it yourself at the same time it's fun to do but can be quite taxing. If property management is too restrictive, you can utilize removable wall decor or art for some splash of color or dimension.3. What do you plan for the rooms?If you are someone who works out periodically, you can consider setting up a mini-gym in one of the rooms. You can also utilize the extra space as a walk-in closet for your shoes and clothes. Whatever you decide, your plans for the extra space should be furnished to support its purpose and avoid it from turning into unused space later.4. Do you have a lot of things?With a unit as big as this, adding personalized items are what most people do. It gives the unit a vibe that screams YOU.

Having trouble designing your condo? Here are real estate tips you should consider whether you are furnishing a bare unit or looking for interior design inspiration.


How To Design Your Condo Unit

Buying a house and lot in prime locations like BGC, Makati, and busier parts of Quezon City may require more than your usual budget. That is why Filipinos opt to live in condominiums that do not offer enough space for their buck. For some who have no choice but to get a bigger place because of a growing family, they are motivated to look outside prime locations that would hopefully be a little farther than their place of work or school.But have you considered buying a townhouse for sale instead? We list the ways on why this is a great real estate choice:1. A townhouse is literally a house on a plot of land.In Asia, Australia, and South Africa, townhouses are regarded as a residential property with a Strata Title, or a type of title where the common property is owned by the home association and the townhouse units are owned by the unit owners. Townhouses are generally found in complexes.2. You get more square footage than a condo.The modern townhouse is designed as a vertical project that occupies only a small real estate footprint. Most townhouses offer living spaces spread across two or multiple floors. And because of the way they are designed, almost all townhouse units offer full-size common areas such as living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and bedroom. In some cases, a townhouse project offers extra rooms future homebuyers can easily turn into whatever they need, like a home office, man cave, or a study room.&nbsp;As such, a townhouse is quite a popular option for growing families who need a little bit of wiggle room.&nbsp;3. They are usually in close proximity to or are in prime locations.You can find most of these townhouses for sale in urban or densely-populated areas in Metro Manila.&nbsp;4. Most townhouses come with their own parking space.The majority of townhouse developments are catered to homeowners with growing families. This demographic almost always demands enough parking space to accommodate their vehicles.5. Property appeal and security is being taken cared of by a home association.Although the townhouse units inside the complex are each owned and are of the responsibility by the individual homeowners, the home association takes care of the maintenance and upkeep of commonplaces and amenities within a townhouse complex. This also includes residential security and garbage maintenance, among other things.6. Townhouses offer private accessibility.In a condo development, homeowners often share pathways to and from their condo units. Townhouses, however, offer the privacy of having your own pathway without bothering the neighbors. As such, homeowners are allowed to conduct their own business at home without needing to give away obvious clues to the neighbors.7. You can move in quickly to a townhouse.A townhouse complex can be made up of as small as a few units in a row. As such, the real estate turnover is quicker because the developer will only build and finish a few units plus other common areas. Condominium developments or subdivisions, on the other hand, take longer because of the sheer number of units to build and finish. Looking for your next real estate investment?

This is a sponsored content provided by Mega world. This article has been edited at a minimum for blog purposes.2017 is the year millennials are starting to dominate offices, businesses and starting to put their hard-earned money to something worth its. Millennials are more particular to details of what they want and where they want to put their money.There are different types of investments millennials are doing. We have listed the pros and cons of each. Let us remember that investing is not like putting your money in a pot of soil and covering it only to retrieve it during rainy days. Investing is a need we all have to learn to do at an early age. In reality, many are actually scared to invest their money. Let us also help you overcome these obstacles.&nbsp;But the challenge for this generation is not an easy one. They need to make the right decision and make their choice of what they do with their convertible funds.&nbsp;Investment #1: CarThis is a good investment. It will help you go around and bring you to places near and far. BUT, one also needs to think about the expenses that come with it. Will you be able to pay for the monthly payment? Will you be able to sustain car maintenance as needed; if not, you will end up with a broken car every once in a while and it will cost you more in the long run.Also, remember that vehicle registration is done yearly and there are fees to pay as well as the hassle of renewing your drivers license. One should also be careful as accidents happen. You need to be protected with insurance to be able to pay for any damages. Will you be up for the challenge a car brings?&nbsp;Investment #2: GadgetsOoooh! The latest gadgets are out in the market!! All kinds of commercials are showing all these gadgets tablet, iPad, iPhone, android, camera … all these are enticing everyone to buy the newest gadgets with better features than the last one released. Will it have the same value after 6 months? Will it still be up-to-date a year after you bought it? Is it really a wise investment?&nbsp;Investment #3: FoodWe cant get away with these -- Sweets, Steaks, Pastries, Coffee Shops, Pasta, Restaurants, and Hole-In-The-Walls that we MUST TRY. These will fill us up and will surely make us happy. BUT it will come with a price... some are pricey and some are so-so … remember, we are not getting young, you need to eat healthy to get away with sickness and eating too much or bingeing is not good for our body in the long run. It is good to set aside money during rainy days and definitely maintain good health.&nbsp;Investment #4: TravelThis is a very good way to see other places, meet new people, taste new cuisines and experience life in a different country. This will surely open our eyes to the wonders this world is waiting for us to discover. This may be a wise investment but the returns are not in cash. You may have good memories, experiences to take home and pictures and selfies to save and share. Again, this will not triple your moneys worth and not even give you a good amount in return.Investment #5: Designer shoes and bags&nbsp;These are a good investment if you will not use them often. This is a good investment if you will be able to preserve it in its mint condition. If you will use it on a daily basis and let daily use take its toll, not wise. This will just make its value drop. Maybe if you have excess cash and you don't have other things to think of, maybe it's ok. But still, Think about it.&nbsp;Investment #6: BusinessIt may be food, tea, small restaurant, food cart a variety store or other business such as RTW, hardware, water station, laundry, online business or other business ventures; it all comes with a price tag and a risk. There may be very good returns but you still need to think of overhead charges on a daily business, taxes, and fees to register your business. Profit will depend on the location, the community you will stay in and the products you will carry.&nbsp;Investment #7: Savings&nbsp;On the other hand, if you decide to keep your money in the bank. It may earn a small amount of interest if you will put in thousands but if you want it to earn more, you need to put in millions to earn bigger.&nbsp;Investment #8: Stocks, shares, bonds, and gilt&nbsp;This may be good but you need to pay close attention to it. You may earn if the company does good in the stock market, but you may lose when the shares are on its bad days. You may get dividends and capital growth when you decide to sell your share. Bonds and gilt, on the other hand, may give you interest on the money you allow to be loaned. But the question is, how much are you willing to give? If it is not much, then this is not for you.Investment #9: Real estate&nbsp;Now that the Philippine economy is doing well, Investors are coming in to fund infrastructure and rehabilitation of old and unused lands, this is actually the right time to own one.&nbsp;As a young professional of this generation or an oldie with all the money in the bank, owning a property is a very good investment you can make. It increases its value on a yearly basis and increases in value every time you do renovations and repairs.&nbsp;There is actually limited land to buy and lots to own and that comes at a very high price. What you can do as an investor is to purchase condominium units. It may not be easy cash for you to liquidate it but the value and the return on investment for you are very good. If you opt to buy a ready-for-occupancy unit, you can pay for the down payment and move-in fee and have it rented out.&nbsp;Money, you get as rent can be paid for the monthly amortization and while it is being rented out, it is still under your name. After paying for the full amount, and all the repairs and upgrades you make, you can definitely sell it in a few years with a higher value.If you opt to buy a pre-selling condominium unit, you are still a winner. Just make sure you buy from trusted BIG developers like Mega world. The value of your property will surely be bigger once the project is completed. Being able to live where you live-work-play-learn-shop is already a feature no other developer can offer.&nbsp;If you have the money and you have all the resources, make a wise decision and put your trust in purchasing your own condominium unit.

Millennials are realizing the need to spend money on whatâ€™s worth it. Read why real estate is the go-to option for them.

Real Estate: A Wise Investment Option For Millennials

When it comes to real estate, it can be difficult for first-time investors or millennial homebuyers to decide on buying a brand-new condo or a pre-owned property. If they are faced with a condo for sale in a prime location priced at high market value versus a property for resale with a good juju and history, buyers are much more inclined on the affordable option.Wave come up with a helpful guide for investors who are considering investing in pre-owned properties.Invest in Brand-New or Pre-Owned?<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Factors</td><td>Brand-New</td><td>Pre-Owned</td></tr><tr><td>Design and Style</td><td>Wide range of options; can easily find the best that would suit lifestyle and preference&nbsp;</td><td>Limited options; dependent on availability on the market</td></tr><tr><td>Condition</td><td>Never been used</td><td>Some properties may show small signs of wear or tear</td></tr><tr><td>Price</td><td>Dependent on market selling price with minimum seller discount, non-negotiable</td><td>Lower than market selling price may come with huge sellers discount if needed to be disposed of right away</td></tr><tr><td>Amenities</td><td>Inclusive</td><td>Some properties don't offer one but if they do, not included with the selling price</td></tr><tr><td>Location</td><td>Brand-new properties are often built in strategic or accessible locations</td><td>Buyer is limited to the number of available pre-owned properties</td></tr><tr><td>Need to Renovate</td><td>No need; pre-inspection may also lead to free improvements before turnover</td><td>While costly, any improvements are added property equity</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>1. Design and StyleBrand-new condos for sale are built in the latest design or architectural specifications. The specifications try to appeal to buyers who want to enrich their lives with purpose and meaning. Every space has its own function and can be maximized to the fullest potential. Some are even outfitted with features that can transform into new spaces like an extra bedroom space or a work area.&nbsp;Similar properties may be a dime a dozen with pre-owned properties. And if a millennial buyer has simple tastes, finding a modern-style home can still be quite challenge in a limited market.2. ConditionNaturally, brand-new or pre-selling properties have never been used. There is always that buyer's satisfaction of being the first to live in a brand-new or pre-selling home. Moreover, should the buyer decide on purchasing a pre-selling property, he or she will have the opportunity to inspect the actual unit before turnover to make sure nothing is amiss and that the property is ready for move-in.While most pre-owned properties show signs of being lived in, some previous owners will do cosmetic to maintenance fixtures to make them more presentable. Unless they are buying a property as-in or in its present condition, buyers may negotiate with previous owners to fix certain features of the property in order to agree with the initial selling price.3. PriceWhen it comes to pricing, pre-owned properties are definitely more affordable. More so when the seller needs to divest the property off for urgent reasons. In some cases, the seller can be flexible with the payment scheme or offer a huge discount if they assess that the buyer is serious.Prices for brand-new or pre-selling properties are leveraged on the land they are built upon. The higher in market value the land is, the most likely the brand-new or pre-selling property is expensive. On the other hand, some investors believe that the price may not be a factor if it means putting their money in a high-value asset they can capitalize later on.4. AmenitiesNowadays, more homebuyers tend to give importance to experiences, and a property that supports a well-lived lifestyle is better than just any other property on the market today. Brand-new and pre-selling condos, for example, are nowadays designed and built to provide its future homebuyers more than just a home. A condo in a mixed-use project means having access to both leisure and business amenities and walkable to the workplace. Most pre-owned properties are standalone or do not come with privileges to amenities. If they are located within a community that does have amenities, the buyer may need to work out a separate agreement with a property association for a fee.5. LocationBrand-new and pre-selling properties are built in locations that are carefully considered by developers to ensure that they are strategically located. Today condos for sale, for example, are built near or within mixed-use townships developed to make every urban point of interest accessible and walkable.&nbsp;Should a buyer decide on a pre-owned property, certain lenience's should be made with regard to its location. While one might get lucky to find a house for sale that is a 10-minute drive to the office, the buyer might need to venture out for 30 minutes to go to a supermarket or grocery.6. Need to RenovateBuyers need not worry about additional renovation when buying a brand-new or pre-selling property. If they do find something out of specification during the pre-turnover period, they can request to have the developer fix them at no extra charge.However, there is also an upside to renovating a pre-owned property. While the buyer may need to shell extra from their homebuying budget to make the improvements they want, all costs will definitely increase the propertys equity, and essentially its market value. &nbsp;<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/QDaCufFugdlAKONqD__ZZcVov7OPN6NY3_Sw50NhkR6e6pCLgnRMvIpr5uwhizTqjLRi4YgZtHgPfFrm6gbJ-dxvJQVMtvaaWSLSs54gU4PlcVFJ-xjZIsfwJlkV9POg-aaXGiux">&nbsp;How to choose?Buyers definitely have a lot to think about when choosing to buy a brand-new property or a pre-owned one. But the key to making the right decision is by taking into these all-important considerations to find out which factors are the most important to you and which factors are the ones they can make a compromise with.

We have outlined each pros and cons on purchasing a pre-selling or brand-new condo versus a pre-owned property.


Top Reasons Why A Brand New Condo Is Always Good for Investment Instead of Pre-Owned

Most homebuyers often factor their superstitious beliefs when it comes to buying a condo, townhouse or house and lot. This and the other legal and financing questions, it can be overwhelming to real estate agents and brokers if what appears to be a simple issue can diffuse any chance of landing a sale.Here are some of the common superstitions buyers have:1. NumerologyFilipinos have adopted several Chinese beliefs regarding numerology. For example, home addresses and unit numbers with the number 4 are considered unlucky because it sounds like the word death. Numbers 3 and 9 are considered lucky. Buying properties located in number 17 is frowned upon. The number 8 is preferred as it is considered the luckiest number of them all.2. Feng ShuiFeng shui, also known as Chinese geomancy, is also considered when it comes to purchasing properties. Properties with good feng shui are preferred because it is believed that the energy forces harmonize individuals with their preferred properties and their surrounding environments.Buyers will often take a look into a property's feng shui in terms of its location placement, the architecture, and even exterior and interior design before considering buying the property. The most detail-oriented ones will even observe the flow and density of traffic to check if the property has good energy.&nbsp;3. FaceThe face of a property is an important consideration for most property buyers. Properties that exude prestige or are situated in well-known or popular addresses convey success and wealth. For example, properties that are near high-end landmarks like lifestyle parks like Bonifacio High Street, Ayala Triangle Gardens, Burgos Circle, and UP-Ayala Land Technohub are more favorable to buyers.4. LocationIf there is one location customers wouldn't want to live near in, its a cemetery. Similar to a lot of people who don't like living in a house that belonged to a previous owner who had died, a property that is located near a cemetery is not that appealing. There are buyers who believe or don't get past the fact that their future home or investment is near a cemetery.5. OwnershipEven buyers brought up with western culture sensibilities would think twice about buying ready for occupancy properties that are previously owned by estates or people who have died. While some will be offered at bargain prices, the thought of owning it will probably daunt them.How to manage superstitious buyersUltimately, it is important to note that nothing can beat transparency. To reduce the number of inquiries and follow-ups about properties, real estate agents and buyers can follow the listed tips. &nbsp;1. Listing should be completeA real estate listing should have the following details:Property typeProperty complete addressProperty condition (e.g. pre-selling, RFO bare, RFO furnished)Turnover (for pre-selling) or building date (for RFO)Property developerRooms availableParking availabilityProximity to points of interestNumber and list of common areasTotal contract priceAvailable financing options2. Use high-quality picturesPictures can tell a thousand words or more. And this is more so when clients need to know what the exterior and the interior of the property looks like. Pictures should also include the property's surroundings so clients will have a visual idea of where the property is located.3. Provide other interactive means of informationSignet Properties utilizes technology such as 360-degree aerial views for clients to be able to view the surrounding neighborhood of a property they want to invest in. The company also utilizes 3D model unit views for pre-selling properties to provide a way for clients to visualize the property even if the unit has not been built and/or turned over yet.&nbsp;4. Answer honestlyIf there's anything a client does not like, it is being sold at. Clients can detect if a real estate agent or broker is selling instead of answering truthfully. A good real estate agent or broker should be able to address if the property is not to the clients preferences but is able to share his or her opinion and rationale as to why it is worth consideration.Are you a real estate agent or broker?

The Current Investment Analysis of The Residential Market in the Philippines

Buying a condo, townhouse, or house and lot for sale in the Philippines can be quite a daunting task. If you are a first-timer or have gone through it at least once, it can be very confusing as well.&nbsp;While it is ideal to get a real estate agent or ask professional help with a brokerage firm, it pays well to be prepared. By knowing the property buying process and best practices, you will find yourself with an investment plan with less risk and stress.The 7-point real estate buying checklist1. Determine your budgetMost first-time homebuyers find themselves regretting their investment on a property long after they have said yes to the real estate agent or broker. This is because there are other costs to consider aside from the reservation fee.And for those who have gotten over with the hidden costs of buying a property in the Philippines, some might no longer be able to continue with the amortization payments even if they already know what they have committed in paper. This is because they have yet to consider the hidden costs of owning property -- homeowners association fees, utilities, upkeep, maintenance, and real estate property taxes, among other things.If such costs are over their budgets, this essentially leads to defaulting on their home loan, and eventually the time and money already invested in the property.So how do you determine how much can you really afford to determine your budget? Your budget should be taken into account the following things:The down payment - Most properties require a standard down payment of 20% of the total property price. While some banks offer home loans that cover up to 90% of the total property price, it pays to be conservative with your estimated costs.Financing costs - Homebuyers and investors are expected to shoulder the costs required to get financing pre-approved. This might mean settling any outstanding small-amount debts or loans to improve your credit score or spending money to secure the required documentation for your home loan.Monthly income and debt - This is perhaps the most crucial amount you need to determine in order to make sure your budget is realistic enough to make that home loan financing commitment. If the amortization payments will be coming out from your salary, you need to make sure you have enough emergency funds for contingencies like loss of job or hospitalization.2. Determine what you are really looking for in my future home/investmentDetermining your needs means being able to settle on your minimum requirements (or non-negotiables) in a property. Everything else will be a want, but will ultimately help you which of the property choices you have later brings the best deal.Here are four considerations to determine your needs:Location - Would you like a place in a township like <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/bgc">BGC</a> or somewhere in <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/">Quezon City near top schools</a>? Sure you settled on a specific city or province, but settling on a general area will help you narrow down your options.&nbsp;Property type - Are you looking for a resort-type condo with a pool? A house and lot in a subdivision with family-friendly amenities? A loft-type townhouse? Deciding exactly what you're looking for in a <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy/condo">condo</a>, <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy/townhouse">townhouse</a>, or <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/buy/house">house and lot</a> before you proceed with your home search will save everyone a lot of time.&nbsp;Price range - At this point, you can already filter out your top searches based on your price points determined in #1.3. Find out where and why are they the best neighborhoods to look for in a propertyWhether you are buying your first home or investing in real estate for the first time, knowing the neighborhood will help you determine which are the best locations that will add market value premium to the property.While you can be reliant with market reports, knowing these three things will already help you determine which are the best ones according to a point of view of a local:Number of schoolsTraffic densityNeighborhood amenities (ex. parks, ATMs, shopping malls)4. Settle with an agent or broker with a great track recordThis might require some prolonged engagement and due diligence on your part, but the best agents and brokers are subject matter experts to specific property developments, types, and/or locations. The best agents and brokers are also those who are well-connected enough to help you with your property search and buying.Here are seven other signs to look out for when talking to a prospective agent or broker to work with:Agent or broker is likeableAgent or broker is responsive with the right informationAgent or broker will insist that you get pre-approved firstAgent or broker is proactive, anticipates your needsAgent or broker is honestAgent or broker will not give up easilyAgent or broker builds a relationship with you5. Find your options fastIn the information age, it can be quite frustrating to know that not all sites online provide you the data you need to make well-informed decisions. Thankfully, <a href="https://signetproperties.ph/blog">technological advancements</a> provide unique data beyond the occasional information real estate listings provide without needing to schedule a physical property tour.<a href="https://signetproperties.ph">Signet Properties</a>, for example, have Project Pages that showcase data using 3D models, integrated commute map, and 360-degree aerial views. The real estate platform also took the initiative of building a small but growing database of Neighborhood Pages, microsites with information to help prospective investors to understand the locations they have the interest to buy property in.6. Don't wait&nbsp;And if you settled on the one, never wait. Properties in the most desirable neighborhoods tend to get snapped up. Give earnest money -- the minimum amount required to express your serious intention to enter into a property buying agreement.7. Do the work to close the dealAt this point, your real estate agent or broker will help you with the rest of the buying process. You need to get your down payment and other costs to close the property buying deal, complete the paperwork needed to process your home loan and property title.And right before finally settling on the actual unit, set up an inspection schedule to make sure the property turned over to you is in the condition as promised.&nbsp;Excited to start your homebuying journey?

Ultimate Home Buyer Checklist

Times are changing faster than many industries, including real estate, can keep up with, and the arrival of the future is creating upheaval among those still stuck in the past. This is true in real estate as it is in any other, and more so in the Philippines, a country currently in the middle of an economic transformation.The DisruptorsFor example, the current generation of workers is adapting to a new, more holistic lifestyle. A record number of individuals are buying condominium units in the Philippines, and the numbers are expected to grow.&nbsp;According to a residential property market report by Colliers International Philippines, about 52,600 condominium units sold in Metro Manila in the fourth quarter of 2017. This is significantly higher than 2016 figure at 42,000 units sold.&nbsp;Real estate consultancy firm Pronove Tai suggested that the record high in condominium take ups in 2017 was attributed to factors such as the country's robust economy, record-high OFW remittances, and dollar exchange, and the low-interest environment.Pronove Tai CEO Monique Cornelio-Pronove said in an interview with Business World that the demand was also attributed to the rise in property interest from the young urban professionals and foreign nationals demographics.The young professionals, she said, dominate the working force in office districts and spend more than any other demographic age due to lifestyle orientation, particularly employees under the IT-BPM (Information Technology and Business Process Management) industry.Citing a report by the Japan International Cooperation Agency, Cornelio-Pronove added that the flexibility offered by vertical living spaces has also become more appealing due to the country's worsening traffic congestion. Workers are choosing to live closer to their workplaces rather than spend three to four hours on their daily commute.In addition, these young professionals want to avoid the inconvenience of Metro Manila traffic which reduces productivity and practicality as commuters spend an average of 3-4 hours per day in traffic. For efficiency and convenience, these young professionals prefer to invest in condominium buildings for comfort and lifestyle, she said.Conversely, flexible workspaces are becoming common in the office property market. In its The Flexible Workspace Outlook 2018 report, it read that flexible workspaces are no longer seen as a disruptor nor a complementary sub-sector in the office market, but rather a fundamental part of commercial real estate and a sector in its own right. Continued growth in flexible workspace demand is expected across key submarkets in Asia-Pacific including the Philippines.Maricris Sarino-Joson, Colliers International Philippines Associate Director for Office Services, said that flexible workspaces in the Philippines is forecasted to grow along with the attention that the country is garnering from foreign investors.She said, Over 200,000 square meters (2.15 million square feet) is occupied by flexible office space operators in Metro Manila alone, with many still looking to expand this year. The profile of tenants using these spaces varies from start-ups to law firms, MNCs and freelancers.We expect international flexible workspace operators to penetrate the Philippine market in 2018, though given the nuances of the domestic market, this will likely be in partnership with local developers or investors, and in some cases via acquisitions, Sarino-Joson added.In the same Colliers report, it stated that as small and medium businesses in the Philippines expand, the demand for flexible workspaces would follow all across the country. Aside from Metro Manila, Colliers also sees potential in Cebu, Bacolod, Iloilo, and Davao in terms of flexible workspace demand.Given the range of end-users in a flexible workspace, we expect a wide geographical spread, and operators will likely set up several smaller sites rather than fewer large scale sites due to challenges in transport infrastructure. For this reason, we may see space within retail malls repositioned as a flexible workspace, Sarino-Joson quipped.Although it is expected that the condominium unit sales numbers will be significantly lower in 2019, the report said it is due to the lack of available land in prime urban areas and the premium prices of land in major central business districts. However, with a benign inflation environment this year, Colliers said it will likely prevent further interest rate increases by the local central bank. As such, demand from the affordable and mid-income residential segment would be sustained this year. &nbsp;

These six disruptors are upping the Philippine real estate market, and everyone's game.
