The Cost of Owning a Condo Near Metro Manila’s BGC, Philippines | Fully Furnished Condo Tours

Aww thank you so much!!!!😭Wow you’ve been with us for so long. Appreciate the support my friend!!👊💥

From Edmonton here too😂 yeah good decision of going back home and do what you really love victor

[@MomDuty]

Hello Canada👋🇨🇦 Oh wow! You are Victor’s neighbor☺️How cool is that!!!

[@starbeach2001]

Great decision. If you can get a decent income in the Philippines, stay home. The whole of Canada is a boring place to live.

[@elterrifico9522]

Edmonton is a cool city. Cold but cool

[@stecar9122003]

For the price of a condo in BGC I would prefer to have a single family home in the province because I'm not a city person. To me a condo is just a large apartment in a large building. I enjoy having fresh air and no noise from traffic. I'm not too far from nice things but far enough to enjoy life without the crowds of a city. My wife is from Bulacan.. At least you all aren't in Dumaguete or Iloilo like so many other vliggers are and they act like that's all there is to the Philippines. It's nice seeing BGC and surrounding areas.

[@MomDuty]

Yeah I totally understand what you mean. Maybe one day we’ll feel the same way. But right now in this chapter of our lives with 12 year old kids, we want to live right in the center of all the excitement which is BGC. But you’re also right, there is so much to see in the Philippines! That’s why we are dedicating this year to visiting local spots in the Philippines🇵🇭It’s so diverse and beautiful. We want to showcase that.

[@OTpedscialist]

Nuvali is the place to be in the next 3yrs ! It would be best place to settle down for a family.

[@Mary-zd8xo]

And you also feel as if Bulacan province represents the whole Philippines? Those vloggers in Dumagetue and Iloilo just love the place they are in. Isn’t that what you are trying to say about Bulacan?

[@rowelllumboy7818]

Don't forget the monthly condo fees + more additional fees 😂

[@jhnyjoejoe69]

If you stay in a condo above 15 floors like i did it will be super quiet. Plus unlike the province i didn't have to deal with bugs or mosquitos.

[@AlwaysBeChanging]

😂 What a great episode but you should never stress yourselves out by shopping for me! I love HUGS 🤗🤗🤗 I do love the gifts, tho. Using them every day! 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Pasig is in the middle. For others who really want to live there, its also another business district. Its near the top schools in Quezon City. The location is at the top of the hill. Manila is near sea level. Cainta is beside Laguna Lake.

Better to buy house and lot in subdivision somewhere in Dasmarinas Cavite near Silang, Cavite. It is nice and cooler breeze there at night this months around 20C or below at night! Like Washington subdivion along Aguinaldo highway.

BGC vs. Estancia Pasig ... Heaven & Earth! it's incomparable!! btw, I'm a filam from Manhattan New York..

Hello NY!👋 Gotta come back and visit my friend!🇵🇭

[@tinkerfairies09]

Thank you Ocampo Fam for showing us Capitol Commons, I've been there thrice already and I have the similar impression that they are trying to have the BGC vibe. I love seeing condo tours, now I have idea how much is to buy a condo in capitol commons. Maybe you can also check the Greenfield District that is near that area and there are condos and offices around like they also have their own world there.

[@samquinn6427]

The average monthly salary in the Philippines is Php 18,423.00 or US $330.08. Hence, average Filipino will never be able to afford a 22 to 40 million Php condo. Heck, many folks in The West or Europe can no longer afford these prices. One has to wonder when the correction will come.

[@cd221]

Boom! You are correct.

[@gadgetimpulse3833]

True. The price of condos is much higher than what rent demands.

[@Gregory-Masovutch]

Hell the average American won't be able to afford it either. Maybe the buyers are Chinese and Korean syndicate or some well to do retired Filipinos from America.

[@jemai15]

I agree its the central of Metro Manila and the smaller BGC. BGC is the higher end place to live now in the Metro.

[@tapunan]

The good - nice video and love that you let your kids talk. The bad - 36M - 40M for a 2-bedroom condo (don't forget you still pay building management fees on top of mortgage) - this is Sydney-level price. Actually - more expensive than some areas in Sydney.

Hello mom duty, I live in the area, it’s called Kapitolyo. Just across the bridge from BGC. It is a vibrant and hip region and used to be famous for some unique restaurants. Food capital of Manila back in the days :) I used to live in BGC for over a decade and moved out, I felt the place has been heavily gentrified hahaha but I still run and go to Gym in BGC. 5mins ride really

[@kirbyisjaye]

Hope you guys can explore Kapitolyo too :)

[@MomDuty]

We just learned about the name Kapitolyo. We weren’t sure what area that referred to so thank you for chiming in and explaining. I can’t believe how close it is to BGC. The bridge connects both! So crazy.

[@MomDuty]

Would love to! Now Capital Commons in considered to be inside Kapitolyo right?

[@janetceniza8091]

husband speaking - An American perspective - the condo's are too tall, takes forever to take the elevator down once the condo is full. I don't really trust the construction, it may be equal to the U.S. but I'm not convinced. Plus I think I could only afford a unit in the first 3 or 4 floors. Another also, too many people, I do not function well in such crowded areas. I have grown up with lots of room, our home in Lapu Lapu so far has no immediate neighbors and we have been here 12 years. Our home in the U.S. is on a 12,000 sq ft. lot, green belt in back and our neighbors are 16' apart, homes are that is. We are too old for crowds, that is for the younger life style. ( side comment, did you see Colt's latest story a few days ago? It was so excellent but they did not allow comments so I could not tell him how well he did. So much information and his set up in his room is really something to see. So nice.😄

You will not net 75K per month and dont forget what you are buying is bare concrete box that you will first have to finish out prior to renting. Lastly talk to someone who has owned a condo in Manila and tried to sell it. You will never sell it unless you are willing to accept 30% - 40% less that what you paid. Not an investment, more of a nightmare.

Well one thing that BGC stands out amongst other places in Manila is that their water sewage system that's built in underground, it's actualy known now in the Philippines that it's the only place that's never been flooded.

Pasig used to be the capital of Rizal province. Then Pasig was annexed to from Metro Manila. So the old capitol is there. They moved the capitol to Antipolo, the new capital of Rizal. So they re-developed that and called it Capitol Commons...

[@kahawaiihele]

Ouch. The 2 bed is almost 2x the price of my Makati condo in 2016 and the 1 bed is $120k USD more than my Uptown condo purchased the end of 2021. The Uptown Arts July 2022 was 34M PHP 40th Fl. But yes, the Uptown condo's are without parking.

[@jellymadrigal5879]

It’s not about you. 😅

[@kahawaiihele]

@@jellymadrigal5879 The point is, the price seems exceptionally high. You can buy in Uptown BGC for those prices.

[@robocop581]

The current price for that area is about right, around 310K pesos per sq meter assuming the parking spaces are 1.5 million pesos each. I bought a luxury condo in Ortigas in 2017 at 171K psm and a new luxury tower that's under construction down the street is priced at 385K psm. My first luxury condo in Ortigas in 2012 was only 96K psm.

I get it if you like the city life spending 40m for a two bedroom condo. Add another 12k a month for association dues plus monthly living expenses. Some would probably spend that money building a 400sqm good quality home outside the city.

It's looks really nice to live in a luxury condo. The problem is that after a few years, it looks delapidated already. Is it because of the weather or lack of maintenance?

[@Margotvlogs424]

I don’t think so.. a lot of high rises its still looks new and same they normally have Good maintenance of the Building.

[@jellymadrigal5879]

Just don’t buy from SMDC or DMCI.or Megaworld.

[@ChatGPTeeh]

This world gone crazy with those apartment prizes. Seriously if I got given 75% discount I probably still would not pay for a condo nor apartment. It's a deadset investment equivalent to a depreciating brand new car. It'll be worrhless in 20 years..Grab a land people

[@MomDuty]

You got me thinking🧐

[@samquinn6427]

I believe the developer would still make money even giving a 75% discount due to large markup on these units. I worked new home construction for a number of year in FL and my builders markup was about 18%. This would be after he paid the agents a total of 6% commission so real mark up was 24%. I agree with these condos being like buying a new car with deprecation after a number if years if building maintenance is poor. Some buildings are built and maintained better than others.

[@ChatGPTeeh]

@@samquinn6427 100% right. I have few investments here in Australia. The money is in the land size and location period. All the rest is materials. I have property worth $850,000 AUD but insurance is only for $250k meaning in the event it burns down and knock on wood, it will be fully restored to new condition. Meaning, condos,apartments worth is just the building materials and no way what was displayed anywhere near its asking price. It is marked up heavily by middle man, advertising and everyone making huge margin. I'm sold on the location and convenience I get that but the price should be at most 2mil plus 20% markup not 40mil..loll

O mention of HOA fees

[@1988remixx]

I was thinking the same thing. I don’t see any MAJOR savings to be honest between the prices for that 2bd Condo & living in the States?? We have a 2/2 w/2car garaged detached condo in Orange County, CA & barely pay $2500 mtg + $125 HOA. I don’t know why but I thought pricing in PI even for a brand new condo would be closer to $200K max!??🤔🤔

[@MomDuty]

Oh yes! Great question. Let me ask about that☝️

[@MomDuty]

Such a good point!

[@VictorRCruz]

​@@1988remixx Hello, this is Victor from the Vlog. In regards to the HOA fees, they range from 90 to 120 pesos per square meter. Additionally, it's worth noting that Ortigas Land imposes certain condo dues once the building reaches 50% occupancy. Given the nature of residential buildings, it's important to anticipate that occupancy might take some time.

[@gideon1996]

BGC stands on historical grounds. We used to run (roadruns, IYKYK) from Fort Bonifacio's Gate 3 to Gate 1 and back. Along the way, we passed by the old station hospital, PA GSC campus, rear liaison unit facilities, Signal Corps Hqs, TRADOC and some of the old officers' and enlisted personnel quarters, among others. All these facilities existed pre- WWII and shortly thereafter. There was even a WWII era tunnel that was part of the old PA museum in the area. Sadly, the Pilipino people lost all these historical places and areas through greed and corruption. When I go around BGC and the Fort, all I see are concrete jungle all around: the price of convenience, evolution and progress at the expense of the ordinary Pinoy who can't afford to shop, roam around or live there. Could imagine areas near and around BGC to be as unaffordable as well.

[@jasonpantig3189]

[@cd221]

NCR Condos are the one of the biggest rackets on the planet. Terrible investments and the developers are preying on the naive and sadly a fair number of OFW's. Did they show you an "as delivered unit". $400,000 - $600,000 for a bare concrete box that you will never be able to resell and good luck finding a local resident who can afford renting a unit. Most medical doctors in Manila gross less than P100,000 per month.
