A ready-for-occupancy home in the Philippines is quite popular with both property seekers and real estate investors. Aside from the fact that it is practically ready for anyone to move into, owning a ready-for-occupancy home also allows investors to recoup the hard-earned money they have put into the property by putting it up for lease.

And if the luxury house and lot is the dream house they have been dreaming about for the longest time, the advantages will certainly be worth the while, especially with regards to your financial security, mental health, and overall well-being.

The recognition drives interest especially to a more diverse and unique crowd of people who are shopping around your price range. Not only can the recognition help you recoup your investment and earn a lot of money in the process, but you may even come across some buyers who do not hesitate to pay in cash.

As for ready-for-occupancy luxury homes that are located in inner-city locations (densely populated areas like a city center), what they lack in “luxury” from a new development point of view, they make up for by also providing quick access to downtown. This means the residents have the option to walk to or make a quick stop before going home at a shopping mall, bank, supermarket, or restaurant for whatever they need.
The Promenade in Brittany Sta. Rosa is just minutes away from the Sta. Rosa Tagaytay Road, where the top shopping mall chains in the country, including Vista Mall, are located.
Almost always, luxury houses and lots and communities are defined by the exceptional location. An exceptional location has one or a combination of the following qualities:
