There is no doubt that buying a house and lot for sale, especially a luxury house and lot in Metro Manila, is the way to go when it comes to investment. However, experts advise that it is most advantageous for an investor to have a diversified investment portfolio to generate much more revenue or return from a long-term investment.
Similar to stocks, bonds, or other investments which are usually acquired through banks and other financial institutions or corporate businesses, the increase of fair market value in the art market is dependent upon the tastes of the consumers or, basically, their demand. The more that they are interested in a piece of art, whether as an investment or as a collection, the more its value increases.
Over the years, the interest of the younger market to art investment has been increasing. This is also related to the rise of NFTs and bitcoins in the online marketplace, which makes it easier for any up and coming artist to sell art.
In relation to this, CNBC has documented that contemporary art, yes even art made by living artists, has given an average return of 7.5% since 1985 to 2018. As a whole, the art market has provided an average return of 5.3%. Now, being compared to data regarding return from bonds, in the same time frame, 6.5% for developed countries, and 8.1% for global high yield bonds, the profit seems competitive.
While the risk in investing in artwork may still be unavoidable, so is the risk when you buy shares, the profit for art investors sure is promising. As a matter of fact, Forbes has agreed to this and even stated that art is a good investment because it can combat inflation.
Nonetheless, if you are considering investing in luxury lot for sale, or house and lot for sale, there are several luxury properties in Daang Hari Subdivisions that you need to know about.
When the term art world is mentioned, are you not automatically transported to museums or galleries? Do you imagine fairs and auctions? Now that you may be transitioning from appreciating art to buying art from an auction house, and finally seeing paintings as good investment instead of pieces of history, it is time to explore where to go since you have decided to start investing in art.
Artworks in museums are not for sale. Therefore, the best place to start looking for art as an investment is in art galleries. In art galleries, you have the abundance of time to appreciate original work by artists and then decide which artwork would you like to bring home. Of course, it is still important that you bring home artwork that you like or approve of. This is because you can still have art on display while you wait for its fair market value to increase.
If you are not only deciding which artwork to buy, but you are also deciding on a house and lot for sale to have as your own, there will always be the option of buying a luxury house and lot in Metro Manila.

In case you are on the lookout for a specific artwork, fine art to be more concise, auction houses are the way to go. At auction houses, a painting, for sure, is kept in pristine condition because this is essential in pleasing potential investors, because this ensures that the auction prices go up. The only downside when it comes to buying art from an auction house is that you need to be able to offer the highest price to secure purchase of an artwork.
Not running out of ideas, another great way to appreciate art and purchase it is through art fairs. Think of artists gathering in one particular place and having their original work of art displayed in booths, this is how art is shown at an art fair, or what is sometimes called an art festival. This basically allows more artists to show their works to an audience, making art more accessible to potential investors too.
An art fair also makes it more simple for artists to sell art, and for investors to buy art, because they can have direct communication with one another, and agree to make their own transaction in their own terms. As compared to an auction however, prices may not be as high. Forbes beg to disagree though.
Almost similar to an art fair, in a street art event, an art piece called “Love is in the Bin” sold for £18.5 million at Sotheby’s earlier this year. So, unless you are buying art from a well-celebrated artist who participated in the fair, the profit for art investment made may not be as much.
Although an art fair is already unconventional, the pandemic has made it even more extraordinary as art fairs are now being held online. An example is Art in the Park, an art fair that went online this 2022. To discover more of this art fair, you may read this blog: Art in the Park Goes Online in 2022
