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

[@waserogers]

I love these two young people, they will grow to become better bloggers than their parents. They just love what they do. Lovely 🥰

[@raytigno9154]

Hey Ocampo's. Your kids are both astute, well mannered and quite financially savvy. Well done, you power couple.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Victor is a nice guy and very knowledgeable...

[@MCVlogsHk]

It's really good to find a place which makes you feel like there's no better place than where your at.. 😊

[@kenhilliard5845]

Thanks

[@jasonderuloasd3919]

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.

[@bornonjuly7052]

Galing naman vlogging family! Congrats Momduty its just more than a year when i had subscribe and back then your subscribers is less than 10k but for jyst more than a year its burst to now more than 164k a big congrats to you lovely family !!!

[@MomDuty]

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

[@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.

[@TitoGrey]

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

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

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.

[@nestordecastro7621]

I think 2028 is the full operational since the contractor is Japanese and finance by JICA

[@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.

[@user-nw9ox6rw3c]

i pay $2k for a studio apt in Pasadena, CA and its nowhere near the elegance of that place. I can’t wait to come back home for good. 10 yrs and I’ll be there.

Ahh you live in Pasadena? That’s where I spent most of my high school days. Memories🥹Wow that’s how much a studio is going for now? Hope it’s at least near downtown. Ahhh come back🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@magenagrima-xd7pi]

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.

I have a property in BGC, and I am fully satisfied. We bought it at the tail end of Covid year 2022. My View Makati Skyscraper. 1 bedroom and parking 8.5 m

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.😄

[@jellymadrigal5879]

I hear ya.

[@Jaycee3]

I've been looking at this one -- online says sold out. But just FYI to others, it takes about 15-35 minutes to get to BGC depending on traffic... It's great, but that might be a deal breaker to some.

[@JepOy-th4so]

I prefer a nice farm lot... instead of condo.. well to each his own

[@MomDuty]

[@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.

[@MomDuty]

Thanks for the positive feedback. Appreciate it so much!☺️

[@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.

[@kirbyisjaye]

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?

[@angelazenarosa3374]

I like Capitol Commons area. Good schools, good neighborhoods, and an arena where VB and BB local and international tournaments where being held is near the area. :)

[@VictorRCruz]

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

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...

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.

P75,000 rental isn't cheap at all for some of us who live in the province.🤣 A 120 SQM rental house in the province ranges around P15, 000 to P20,000 a month.

Can’t compare the province to the city. Totally different. Apples to oranges.

[@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

[@firechariot_rider620]

Living in Pinas while young & healthy is fine but not for seniors. Healthcare in Pinas is poor. Medical knowledge & medical technology is behind even if you go to St.Luke & other high end hospitals.. Hardly any health insurance will cover you above 65 yrs old. Some do but for aged 70 yrs old, you'll pay $600 a month per person with limited coverage. As you age, the cost goes up. You can self insure if you have millions in the bank but you're not getting the best care cuz of medical knowledge, tools & lack of newly life saving medications to buy.

A single detach house in suburban Metro Manila provides more exclusivity, fresh air and respite from the noise and bustle of the city. For the exorbitant prices of the condos, I would rater put my investments in houses. Just my thoughts.. 😊

[@jellymadrigal5879]

Good point. Can you suggest a subdivision that offers that? What would the size of the house and lot be?

[@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.

[@oscieestanislao5840]

This condo is not for average Filipino. There's no way the majority of us won't afford it. I'm not an expert to see the future, but for now, I feel it's way overpriced. I'd rather buy land outside of Metro Manila and build a 😢beautiful house for $600,000 USD. Even if you rent it out for 100,000 php for a month, it's still over 25 years before you recover your investment. By then this condo are old and rubbish..

​@@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.
