Aside from investors, you might be one of the buyers who are patiently waiting for how the trends will move in the housing market in order to contemplate whether or not you should get your dream house in 2023. Considering the continuous economic turmoil, many homebuyers are clueless as to where this turmoil will lead the real estate market and how it will affect home prices,
Here in the Philippines, COVID-19 restrictions have loosened up and the economy is fully open and operational again.

According to the National Association of Realtors, the sales of the houses in the housing market continuous to drop, and this is brought by the increasing inflation and higher mortgage rates for a 30-year house mortgage. As a matter of fact, real estate industry experts have predicted that mortgage rates will continue to climb up as high as 8.75%. This is more likely the real estate market scene in the America. On the other hand, here in the Philippines, real estate investments will continue. According to Goldman Sachs Group Inc., an American multinational investment bank and financial services company, Philippines will experience the fastest increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth among Southeast Asian countries with up to 6.1% potential growth. One of the great contributions to this is the reopening of the commercial and travel boundaries between nations. With this, many people are pressed to open their housing businesses with foreigners and local tourists booking beachfront properties and residential resorts for accommodations.
Furthermore, there is a growing interest among buyers to invest in real estate properties as it has been proven over time the ability of housing prices to keep up amidst inflation and short-term demands. During the pandemic, there is also a growing demand to invest in upscale homes in urban communities. This is due to the fact that many families have seen that a home situated in urban towns is essential considering that it is closer to establishments such as schools, hospitals, pharmacies, offices, and supermarkets.
As surprising as it may sound but many buyers and investors are stil into luxury property investments despite economical and political turmoil. Whether it is a luxury home, a townhouse, a native home, or a luury lot, there is a growing demand to invest in them. And the best contributor to this is the value that the pandemic attached to luxury properties. This is especially true for first-time investors and buyers who have taken into account consideration such as financial, mental, and social circumstances. Nowadays, investors are into real estate properties situated in wide spaces and rural locations, and these features are commonly associated with luxury properties located in prime locations in the country.
Moreover, it is critical more than ever now for people to invest their hard-earned money in investments that will continue to flourish in the long run. This is where land and property investments come in the picture. Realizing that property investment is not just for oneself but also an excellent business venture also contributed to this demand.
Now that we are living in a post-pandemic setting, many homebuyers have realized the necessity of sustainable and healthy living when taking into account the property to invest in. This includes the prime location where the real estate property is situated. Buyers are more likely to invest in luxury property near a nature-like view or greenery. They also prefer a property geographically located in a wide space with fresh air and amenities that value their convenience, comfort, and safety. Sustainability is essential and so, buyers consider the environmental-friendliness of the community where the property is built as well as the establishments near to it.
This consideration also rose out of the buyers desire to increase their comfort and safety, and to ensure that their productivity and growth as individuals won’t injure the environment in any way possible, considering what the pandemic has brought upon us all.
Contrary to the popular belief that millennials and Gen Z alike are only spenders, this age group of property buyers and investors are maximizing their spending powers by investing in quality investments such as luxury properties in the housing market. As a matter of fact, their idea of taking care of oneself is to invest in things that will be beneficial to them and their loved ones in the next five to ten years, and this includes a beautiful house or a land improvement.
