The property market in the Philippines is believed to remain vibrant in 2025, fueled by strong demand and numerous upcoming projects in prime urban and tourism centers, according to industry expert Anthony Leuterio, founder of the real estate network Filipino Homes.
Leuterio expressed an overall positive outlook for the sector despite worries of condominium-unit oversupply in Metro Manila, despite the exit of the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators.
A key factor in support of this bullish forecast is the stream of remittances coming from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) that continue to drive real estate investments, particularly in urban centers and tourist destinations.
Leuterio pointed out that a large number of infrastructure projects, such as the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Cebu and improvements to the road network across the nation, would also contribute to higher demand for residential development.
He said, “Despite challenges such as high interest rates and inflationary pressures, the real estate sector is expected to remain resilient, supported by strong end-user demand and infrastructure-driven growth.”
He noted that mixed-use developments—those that combine features for residential, commercial, and lifestyle—are becoming all the more embraced as homebuyers seek integrated communities that provide convenience to their living.
Looking ahead, his firm, Filipino Homes, will host the Asian Real Estate Summit (ARES) 2025 on July 1-2 in Bangkok, Thailand. Over 1,000 real estate professionals and more than 30 top developers of the region are expected to attend.
“The summit will be an avenue to foster connections among real estate stakeholders, allowing CEOs and top executives to share their best practices and insights,” said Leuterio.
