    The Philippines’ housing market is now two-tiered

    LALAINE C. DELMENDO | March 26, 2020

    The Philippines’ residential property market is now two-tiered, with the Metro Manila CBDs losing steam, while the rest of the country continues to boom.

    The average price of a luxury 3-bedroom condominium unit in Makati central business district (CBD) rose by a minuscule 0.87% during 2019 to PHP 232,000 (US$ 4,488) per square metre (sq. m.), a sharp slowdown from a y-o-y rise of 15.55% in 2018 and the weakest performance since 2009, according to Colliers International. In fact, when adjusted for inflation, prices declined 1.03% y-o-y last year.

    On a quarterly basis, condominium prices in Makati CBD increased 9.43% (8.27% inflation-adjusted) in Q4 2019.

    The Philippines experienced a house price boom from 2010 to 2018, with Makati CBD prices rising by almost 132%. But with a slowing domestic economy, coupled with the US-China trade war, the housing market slowed sharply last year.

    However, strong house price growth continues nationwide. During the year to Q3 2019, the nationwide residential real estate price index surged 10.4% (10% inflation-adjusted), according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the country’s central bank. Quarter-on-quarter, the index rose strongly by 9.5% (8.9% inflation-adjusted) in Q3 2019. The residential real estate price index, published every quarter, is based on bank reports on residential real estate loans.

    By property type:

    • Condominium units saw the strongest y-o-y price increase of 29.1% (28.6% inflation-adjusted) in Q3 2019 from a year earlier

    • For single detached/attached houses, prices rose by a modest 2.4% (2.1% inflation-adjusted) during the year to Q3 2019

    • Duplex house prices surged 24.8% (24.4% inflation-adjusted) y-o-y in Q3 2019

    • Townhouse prices rose by 6% (5.7% inflation-adjusted) over the same period

    But with continued global uncertainties andan additional blow coming from deepening COVID-19 crisis, the housing market is projected to slow sharply this year, as potential homebuyers are expected to take a “wait-and-see” approach in the short term.
