+1 Accommodation here for the most part became like Gucci cologne level of price markup. Makassar City is a nearby island in Indonesia. The whole city is covered with 400-700 PHP a night hotels. Yogyakarta City, hundreds of festivals per year, again completely loaded with hotels from 300 to 700 PHP. Pattaya City and Jomtien City Thailand even keeps it fair with 900-1000 PHP all over. In Metro Manila, it is the most barebones experience. Had at the cost of pretty much 1300 PHP entry, unless you want 9 SQM. 3 star hotel usually begins at 2100. And for 9 months of the year, there is - Almost never a block party, - almost never a public festival, - almost never even a group of people in the streets having fun and chatting or hanging - it's just overrun by industry, spontaneity is reduced nill, and the whole experience is black/white routine The malls are silent. The bars are almost entirely table squatters, who never talk to anyone outside. Mall of Asia or North EDSA is as far out you have to go before you even see natural behavior and festivity in daily life. In Central Manila, forget it. I stayed in a Greenbelt condo for few months, and the air quality was often so bad it made me and my guests whole body itch. It was not just car exhaust, but toxic fumes from people burning garbage exists out here. The pest control inside condos is almost non-existent, they just condition people to accept it, despite paying premium or living "luxury". So if you stay anywhere near bushes trees and grass, the roaches are the size of mice and will invade every building's room in a several KM radius. I am currently in a condo away from any grass or nature, so the roaches are smaller and less horrifying. I set up 10+ roach traps inside this room and there are still dozens scuttling around. There would be 1000s without it. Most people have 5 cats to take care of their home and keep these away. Overall, November, December, January is the only time you get a sense of real party in this place. That's the only way to play a meta like this. Get in while getting is good and move on... 100

Thank you for this video. It shows that the rent to own is just a teaser for one year, After which you will be subject to in-house financing which the agent did not say the rate cos it's way up high. Then it's not affordable anymore. At around 155k/sqm it's priced for foreigners. Another problem is that parking is NOT included. Also the horror of association dues increases is not included.

Pretty high condo fee as that is BGC/Makati pricing. You would also need to minus their management fee for airbnb, likely 20% minimum.

There were a few positive aspects to this condo (high ceilings, pool) but there were also many more negative aspects. Some of those bedrooms were smaller than a walk-in closet. The balconies shown (with the exception of the studio condo) could not even fit a chair on the balcony. The kitchens were very, very basic and no room for any type of oven and very little cupboard space. You should have pointed out that laundry would have to be done off premises as there is none in the condos. The studio and one-bedroom unit shown here are smaller than the average hotel room. I can't believe they could actually fit 2 bedrooms into a 65 square meter unit. Some of the bedrooms in the units were only big enough to fit a single bed and maybe a small side table. One thing I will never understand is why properties in the Philippines is so overpriced compared to other surrounding southeast Asian countries. If these condos are selling for 8M - 20M pesos, I could buy a 3-bedroom penthouse condo unit with panoramic views of the ocean for the same price in Thailand and Malaysia. Personally, I would never spend that kind of money on a condo in the Philippines....especially when I could build a 180 square meter luxury house with a pool on a fairly large property outside the city limits for about 10M pesos. And let's not forget that it's not easy to resell a condo in the Philippines.

Yes it's definitely cheaper to build your own home, even back in Canada that was true. Condos value is the proximity to everything so you can walk or public transit and no worries about replacing your roof ect. Some people just love the simplicity of a condo

Affordable best locations

One thing that people have to keep in mind, it's not when all the units will be sold....It's if in the Philippines. A ton of failed developments or half completed. The master community plans are a best case scenario. You have little recourse if the developer abandons future development. They may leave half finished towers literally next to the one you bought into. Keep in mind even if the building is finished, a lot of condo buildings with vacant units that have never sold 10-15 years vacant. This puts pressure on unit owners as buildings still need the same amount of maintenance. Parking once free may no longer be in the future, pool use may cost (50-150PHP per use per person isn't unheard of) elevators may not get the upkeep they should...Tenants forced to use the stairs. It's something to keep in mind when buying a place.

@@artkane6546 lol focus on the topic, condos! Bianca says the next video will be much better for you

Not impressed by the kitchen and bathroom. It's to basic. It would be better if the buyer could choose their own style. And the price level is to high if you compare to BCG and Makati.

4.5 miliion for a studio.....😂😅😂😅😂 Not worth it. You can buy some land and build a 3 bedroom house for 2 million.

Honestly this is what I would rather do. Just build a house after finding my match here in the Philippines :) Somewhere in-between the city and the province, the best of both worlds.

Not easy to lease it out or sell once u bought the condo My sister-in-law has a Makati condo unit, The Residence, a high end condo tower. Nobody leasing for almost 2 years. She decided to sell it, but no takers up to now. Headache!!! Your money is stuck in the unit u bought !!! N this is in the Makati commercial area.

Supply and demand, Iloilo is short of rentals big time but Makati has a big supply of empty units. In several years there will be much more supply here and that challenge will be here potentially but for now it's a great time

Sorry you feel that way, some viewers want to see what condos cost and I think the video was pretty clear you were going to see a video about condos?

Cheap? If I did not know better I would think this was a parody. That 32 square meter 1 bedroom is a joke. Folks, far better off renting.

Overpriced 20m for a 2 bed? Plus ongoing fees. I can buy nice home in Australia for less than that or a huge home in the Phillipines. Nothing reasonable about that pricing sorry. Like other condo projects in the Phillipines they end up run down and tired looking after 10 years. Plastic shower curtain in the shower? Terrible given the pricepoint. You need to rename your thumbnail it's totally misleading.

Boring same show haw.much is gill time u tube change subject

You just wasting your money buying a condo in the Philippines they are so small and the prices are outrageous when you can buy a house for half the price and three times the size stupid to buy one

We prefer to live in houses and have a yard but to say they are a rip off ignores the fact people who bought just a few years ago have already doubled their money. Some people just like to be in the heart of the city and don't want the maintenance/cleaning a house comes with. To each to their own. It's clear from your three comments condos are definitely not your thing

Who pays that much for trash condo...lets be honest substandard

This is actually considered on the nicer side of developments in the Philippines. It wouldn't be in the West...Most developers build these need to realize Westerners have expectations, this has a lot to to be desired when compared to the West. I have to wonder if developers are bringing in Western design consultants to identify Western materials and methods. Especially nearing US costs. 100-200K USD is not a small amount in the Philippines. When a developer reaches out to Western vloggers, it seems as though we are the targeted audience.

In fact, if given a choice between house/lot vs condo the majority would choose HL Hl being substantial cheaper and better bang for your peso. Therefore the target buyer is definitely the foreigner.
