Real Estate Industry in the Philippines Still Strong

why ?

1. Robinsons Land Corporation --- 16% jump in net profit first nine months to 2.12B from 1.82B a year ago (The Philippine Daily Inquirer, Nov. 14, 2008)
2. Condo prices rose to an average of 14.2% in 2007, following a rise of 9.3% in 2005 and 2006 (Colliers International, Oct. 2008)
3. Trump eyes investment in Subic free port (Agence France-Presse, Nov. 5, 2008)

These are just some of the recent good news regarding the real estate industry in our country.

Seems odd because most of the countries are now into recession.

So if you are in sales right now, but in a different field, why not try selling our real estate properties.

Sonata Private Residences

You should check out the new model units of Sonata Private Residences. It is definitely the best (in terms of interior design) among all the model units of Robinsons Land. The structure that holds the two beautiful model units is like a big house in itself, with a luxurious grand piano near the main entrance and an indoor pocket garden in the middle. Parking is not a problem - there are parking spaces provided for guests/visitors.

By the way, if you plan to visit, just text or email me so I could guide you.

Why sell Real Estate Properties

Well, why not sell real estate? :)

• No joining fees! (uh oh! networkers will get mad)
• You earn big bucks if you sell one. With the same amount of time and effort selling other products such as cars, life insurance, pre-need plans, etc., you definitely earn a lot more in one shot.
• As of this moment, real estate is still one of the best investment options you have in our country.
• There is a great demand for homes. There is a huge housing backlog - the country still needs millions of housing units to fill up and satisfy the demand for shelter.
• Lots of inventory. We have more than enough projects at Robinsons Land Corporation. You may just focus on our company or on one area and still make big bucks.
• A huge number of Filipinos like to try selling real estate - they know how lucrative it is. They just don't have the confidence and the guidance.

To make it short, just keep on reading this blog and one day, big bucks will come your way...

Real estate - one of the best investments

Just to show you why buying real estate is one of the best investments that one could have in the Philippines nowadays, I have here an example.
Mr. Happy Investor is a client of Emmy - one of our Account Managers. Mr. Happy bought his 2 bedroom (77.90 sq.m.) loft-type unit at East of Galleria last July 31, 2006. That time, the TCP (total contract price) is appoximately P/4.6 M
Today, around two years and two months after he bought it, the TCP of that same unit is approximately P/6.2 M ! An increase of around P/1.6 or 36% from his old purchase price. That would mean a 16.7% increase per year - which is much higher than your time deposit interest rate. This is even higher than the average ROI from investing in the stock market (if ever you're lucky enough to have a profit). Stock market is so terrible these past months and might still plummet.
To top it all, Mr. Happy Investor didn't even pay in cash. He chose a very affordable monthly installment scheme. To date, he has paid a little over 2 million pesos. Now with an increase of 1.64 million compared to his cash out of 2 million, it's now time to do your math :)

Why buy a condo?

There are a number of reasons why it's good (or better) to buy a condo nowadays.
1) Location.

Condos are usually strategically located. Robinsons Land condos are almost always built and located near a mall - Robinsons Place Residences (right smack in Robinsons Adriatico Mall), Gateway Garden Heights/Gateway Garden Ridge/One Gateway Place/Gateway Regency (all located around Robinsons Forum Mall in Edsa corner Pioneer Street, Mandaluyong), Otis 888 Residences (beside Robinsons Otis Mall), Woodsville Viverde Mansions (beside Robinsons Mall along South Superhiway, Merville Paranaque), East of Galleria (a block away from Robinsons Galleria), McKinley Park Residences/The Fort Residences/Fifth Avenue Place/The Trion Towers (all located in Bonifacio Global City), Sonata Private Residences (near Shangri La Mall and SM Megamall).

If you live near a mall, it follows that you are also close to the best schools, entertainment areas, offices, hospitals and churches. This will save you a lot of time, money and energy when you travel to your destination.

2) Security.

It's more secure to live in a condo - you could easily screen your visitors from the gate or from the lobby, 24 hours roving security, CCTV cameras on common areas, intercom (in case of emergencies - i hear stories of elders living alone comfortably and securely inside their condo units).

You could even leave your condo units for weeks or months if you want to go on vacation without having to worry much about burglars.

3) Amenities.

This part I love the most. Imagine having a swimming pool, gym, basketball court, jogging paths, children's playground, function rooms, etc. all within easy reach? Isn't that fantastic?

4) Ease of maintainance.

It's more easier to clean and maintain a condo unit compared to a house and lot.

5) Better investment.

Condos usually appreciate faster and easier to rent out too because of its location. People would surely love to live beside a mall, right? :)

Reality Sale #102

Sometime in July, my Account Manager Julie had just finished her giving out of flyers along Boni Avenue in Mandaluyong when she decided to take a snack at KFC inside Robinsons Forum Mall. She noticed a simply dressed woman who was waiting for her take out order. Julie then approached and presented our various projects. After her series of probing questions, Julie found out that the woman wanted a 3 bedroom unit preferably in Mandaluyong. Since she was in a hurry, they just exchanged their contact numbers. Weeks passed and Julie was diligently calling and sending sample computations.
Last September 12, Friday, Julie got a call from the woman prospect, asking if they could meet in the morning of the following day. However, something came up and they decided to meet on Sunday instead. They met at our newly opened Gateway Regency model unit inside Cybergate 3 building. The prospect, a 52 year old woman, suddenly became interested in The Trion Towers. They went to the model unit and site in Fort Bonifacio, was deeply impressed with the whole concept and with the affordable payment terms, in short, the deal was closed. She then told Julie to pick up the reservation check on Monday, September 15. J
