Condos are Quickly Becoming Vacant in BGC Philippines 🇵🇭

[@JanBanJoovi-ol1qv]

Manila is on gigantic real estate bubble. It’s crazy, properties are ridiculously priced, some of them are even more expensive than properties in some cities in the US

[@saymyname6726]

I'm 5:54 minutes into the video and I can't help but make a comment on that first 1 BR condo that is so puny. That costs 45k?? omg. If you're someone who's watching this for the reason of moving into a condo, heed my advice. Look around and be patient. There are a lot of condos in the metro that offers a better deal. Bigger, better developer, same area or in Makati and to top that half the price of 45k! These guys are pushing it too hard, taking advantage. I was just in the same position at about a month ago and I saw a couple of units, when you do find that unit that fits your budget right, it doesn't have to be low end just to meet your financial capability. Trust me, when you find it, it almost feels like other units are a scam.

[@theexponent3834]

Correct. Condo developers in the Philippines have created a bubble with their super inflated prices. That's why I only buy "low-end" lower-priced condos located in strategic & booming areas under the VAT threshold. That way when the Philippine real estate market crashes in 8-12 years, I'm okay holding on to a decent & reasonably priced and fully paid retirement pad that I can actually use when I fly to the islands when I'm on vacation.

[@sosodave4192]

What is the VAT threshold amount? Also, what areas areas are buying in?

[@theexponent3834]

The VAT limit is at around P3.12 million. Anything above that amount will be subject to an additional 12% VAT by the Philippine government.

[@theexponent3834]

I already bought my first condo for less than the VATable amount/limit. I'm currently considering Cebu Land Master's ongoing condo development in Puerto Princess where the one bedroom units are priced below P3 million.

[@realpropertymangement7640]

Work-from-home arrangements hit these condos really hard. If you can work and live with your family at the same time, away from traffic and all, you'll definitely ditch the city life. And many companies are holding their ace cards for now while anticipating the economic boom in Bataan because of the Bataan-Cavite bridge project. House and lot sales in Cavite and Bataan will soon increase, affecting real property prices in nearby cities.

[@bigradwolf5001]

That means prices in the cities should go down then.

Expats live in the Philippines for economical living. Not many want to pay 800-1000 US dollars per month for rent. Most are wanting 500 max per month. In Bangkok, you can still get a nice condo for $150 (small) -$300 (roomier) per month, right near the BTS too. $500 will get you a larger, well located condo. Imagine what you can get outside of Bangkok in some of the suburbs or outlying smaller cities.

I have no knowledge of Bangkok, but in the Philippines, this is basically the most expensive area. You can find places all around the Philippines for a. Couple hundred dollars per month.

They keep building new condos as if they are selling them like jellybeans. For expats rental prices in PH are good but selling prices are insane. In Cebu most units are unoccupied. Speculative investors bought up chunks to keep prices inflated. You can buy a nice condo in a developed country like the US in a state like Florida for the same price of what they are asking for condos in the Philippines. Though BGC is like living in a bubble, it is a nice one.

I just want to weigh in on the smart TV issue. TVs can last anywhere between 10 and 15 years and rarely more than that. The issue is media streaming technology is changing very rapidly. If you have a smart TV with Android ## built-in, it is possible that it will be non-functional in as little as 4 years. In my honest opinion, I believe in getting a non-smart TV and then adding whatever streaming device dujour so that you can easily upgrade when it ceases functioning properly. 👍

You can upgrade your TV, if smart or not, anytime with the newest apple TV, Chromecast, Fire Stick or whatever comes in the future.

If you don't get at least 10 years out of a TV then you've had bad luck or you bought a very low quality product line. Sony products tend to break early even though they tend to be on the more top end of product lines because they use non-leaded solder which is brittle and cracks.

What floor? How accessible is it to restaurant, shops and night life?

[@Mega-zi7ys]

Entire BGC is a 15min neighborhood/CBD. You have everything you need 24/7 . Just across those condos is a mall and another street away is a large supermarket and across that are wholesome high end young people party clubs .. several of them. Check out videos of XYLO , etc Hope this helps. Cheers

Probably got smart and headed to Thailand

[@Mega-zi7ys]

Click bait title hmm..condos in that area are easily leased out!😅 Know of many who have units there fully leased out very short Listing periods too. It's a nice and more quiet area. Yet very accessible and right across hotels, supermarkets and malls. Also no Airbnb which is better! Bec less ppl moving in and out daily!

[@WShan1966]

Hahaha… you must own one trying to rent it out… I live here, way way way overpriced period… it’s why people are leaving…. 😂

Paranaque City IS ALSO VERRY MODERN IN THE PHILIPPINES

[@qamtis]

What cost for association dues?

[@John-vh3ig]

Main reason in my opinion is cost of living at BGC. No fishball like turo-turo/vendors is not allowed on its clean and modern streets.

[@krisb-travel]

I blame the fish balls too

[@stereoheartsrnb]

@@krisb-travel those pesky fish balls ruining everything

[@johng4093]

I didn't even know fish had balls 😂 This is sounding like "prairie oysters".

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

THE CONCRETE COUCH FROM HELL ! 😂 🤣 😂

Manila condos are overpriced vs. Bangkok and Vietnam. You can get a better apartment in Thailand for about 350, and the internet will be faster.
