MANILA – The Philippine real estate market is projected to sustain its growth trajectory this year, according to Anthony Leuterio, founder of Filipino Homes, the nation’s largest real estate marketing network.
Leuterio highlighted the “significant growth” of property developments across various provinces, particularly in Cebu, Palawan, and Bacolod, where demand remains strong.
A key driver behind this growth, he noted, is the consistent flow of remittances from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), which continue to stimulate real estate investments in major urban centers and popular tourist destinations.
In addition to remittances, Leuterio pointed to the ongoing development of infrastructure projects, such as Cebu’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system and road network upgrades across the country. These projects are expanding opportunities and boosting property demand.
Leuterio also noted the rise of mixed-use developments, which combine residential, commercial, and lifestyle amenities to meet the growing consumer demand for integrated communities.
“The primary market in key cities, especially Cebu, Metro Manila, and Davao, remains competitive, with new developments selling out quickly, further driving upward pressure on property prices,” Leuterio said.
Despite facing challenges such as high interest rates and inflation, he emphasized that the real estate sector is expected to remain resilient, backed by robust end-user demand and infrastructure-driven growth.
In related news, Filipino Homes will host the annual Asian Real Estate Summit (ARES) 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand, on July 1 and 2. The event is set to gather 30 top developers and approximately 1,000 real estate professionals.
Leuterio emphasized that the summit will provide a platform for real estate stakeholders to exchange knowledge and foster valuable connections. “It’s an opportunity for CEOs and top executives to share best practices and insights,” he said, adding that the summit will allow real estate sellers to engage directly with industry leaders and discuss emerging trends.
ARES aims to equip real estate professionals with the tools needed to navigate market shifts and innovations while offering a venue for networking and collaboration.
