I'm currently in USA, Florida and live in a 84sm (900sf) condo, 2 bed, 2 bath, and pay $1,300/month We have a shared pool and several exercise opportunities near by. I am scratching my head and trying to figure out why I would come to the Philippines and PAY MORE for a condo unit that is far more basic than what I have in the states? What are the amenities that ADD ONS to make these basic units so damn expensive? It makes no sense to me that a place like the Philippines, basically a 2nd-3rd world country would dare charge this much compared to the USA. Additionally we anticipate prices to start coming down as inflation comes under control under our new government. Again, what is the Philippines doing to lower costs? Most ex-pats on a fixed SS retirement WILL NOT look at BGC now, just way overpriced and you get nothing for the money there. Its a shame really, was thinking of BGC as a possible retirement location. Cross that off my bucket list. Back to the drawing board!

Salamat, po!

For the Classic SRRV, what is the best way to deposit the $10K? Would the Philippines bank accept a cashier's check?

That is to much 2,000 dollars per month😮

Wild that people will pay this kid for help moving to PH. So simple and easier doing it yourself. Grifter.

Boooooo

Manila is a crap hole and yes it’s wayyyyyyyyy overpriced.

Wow prices have gone way up over the last two years. Tiny units low floor but still 2k a month US.

It is definitely overpriced! Yuppie village.

Did they have tennis courts at the Golf Club? What tennis courts would you recommend in the Manila area?

I will be looking for a 6 month lease on a furnished unit in bgc when we spend more time there. Maybe we can use you as they seem hard to find. I liked the 3rd unit, so something like that hopefully.

For the cost, seems a bit disappointing. Both overpriced and under refined. BGC is looking a whole lot less appealing, tbh.

@TheSavvyExpat What do you charge for your services?

Boring … who care how long he’s been coming 24yrs or 35?!! And I couldn’t hear one word he was saying with the background noise and his mumbling.

Try Paranaque BF homes

Nice video Evan ❤❤❤❤

✈️ NEED HELP WITH YOUR MOVE? thesavvyexpat.framer.website/

why you look gay?

BGC was built for rich people both locals and foreigners. Its overpriced and too expensive for average filipino or Average retired foreigner. i also dont understand why it is so so expensive when Metro Manila has horrendous traffic, flooding and unsightly roads.

Next brother around July I Wii be there.

Go to Batangas or Cavite, but you need vehicle to go around, but you need Filipina friend or wife for communication

What crappy quality of interiors smh. BGC is so overrated. Social climbers’ bubble

YES, BGC IS OVERPRICED, IT IS A RIPPED OFF!

I'll definitely be doing this with you after I have my exploratory visit to BGC in a year or so.

BGC is so High That’s why so many people’s or Expats Moving to Thailand They Said better infrastructure and Cheaper Housing and Transportation… They need to Stop overpricing or Else is going to be a Ghost town like Eastwood City…. People’s leaving the Area that’s why is Cheaper to Rent There

$2000 for the one on High Street was nice and great location. Bob should have signed a contract for 24 months and hope the owner excepted it.

Evan, please post the monthly rent for the 2nd & 3rd units, thanks

It's would have been more professional if u took those glasses of and also if u gave more details about the prices. But I guess about those likes and subscribers

Overpriced. I would go to a different city of the Philippines and pay 35k or less a month.

Insane price for a small ass property...

As weird as it sounds the biggest seller for me would always be their pool and gym and whether they have a billiards room. Solinea in cebu won me over specifically for that. Bgc is a place I'll eventually get to just so I can try the food but i really wish better high end gyms opened up. Id love something like life time fitness or something under equinox if it was at the same level

This video is a pass. Where are the prices for the units??? Horrible.

Did he say 115,000 php?

Fix the audio please

Married to a Philippine Citizen even though you are already have a Spouse in your country,Many Chinese Men are doing this since long ago

And here we are filipinos aiming to work in Switzerland😅

LAMUDI app is great for researching recent real estate data. BUT use the filters to see most RECENT for SALE or RENT

Seems like Bob would be better to rent monthly on AIRBNB. that would avoid buying and regretting long term.. can rent different places every month until they are happy with area, building.. then BUY if they feel like it... Overall it makes more sense to Rent vs Buy at this point in BGC. Price/Rent ratio is very high.

In a conversation with the operations manager, she says 120,000 pesos for a unit ( 10:11) Depending on the exchange rate thats about $2000 USD. That ’s higher than I expected but certainly less than in large US cities.

Rent/Price Ratio is much to high in BGC. Means it's better to rent, the sale prices are inflated and vulnerable to drop as supply increases or foreign buyers slow

Philippines should make strict policy for foreigners especially those overstaying

Deport those foreigners so the prices will go down!!!! And local can enjoy the Philippines resources not just foreigners enjoying the Philippines

Yes Manila and the NCR is way overpriced

I sure hope that the nice couple from Hawaii find what they are looking for. My wife and I are also looking to make a move to SE Asia. Originally we were sure that we were going to settle in Makati or BGC as we had been there numerous times before, but we are now country hopping around SE Asia and found that Kuala Lumpur is far superior. The condos are luxurious, in furnishings as well, and cheaper then the mostly overpriced basic condos we saw in Makati/BGC. The building amenities are also far superior. Malaysia is an English speaking country, as is the PI and infrastructure is worlds better then the PI.

BGC is overpriced. 😅😅😅 would rather live in Alabang area.

I chose to stay in Makati after not being able to decide where I wanted to live. Makati is comfortable, walkable etc. So, I reluctantly signed a year lease (hard to find anything less) in a12 year old or so condo up near the 30th floor. I needed 2 bdrm's and balcony. One of the first surprises was cockroaches. Many, many different kinds. Make sure you have a good agreement with the manager/agent/owner on deposit and repairs. I had the fridge fail within 1 month and a cooktop literally blow up-faulty electrical/design. Owner refused to replace either. Security at the facility was over the top. ID's held, online forms and if they brought a airline carryon you need to acquire a gate pass before it would be allowed to be taken on or off the property. Last mention, Makati is $$. Everything costs more. I spent nearly 3 times more than I expected during my first year.

I have my Philippines passport and would like to invest in some real estate. Is there someone you trust or is there up and coming areas that make sense for purchase to rent out mid to long term rentals either in bgc or business districts close that would make sense?

Overpriced in title - Never mentions a price.

Nice. Love your vids. I will send email with few questions as thinking of moving possibly next year, but unsure of what there actually is to do in BGC as it looks nice and clean, but it seems kind of boring there. I have checked lots of videos on BGC and they just dont really have anything much to show about the place except for some shops and restaurants. Cheers mate
