Humanity’s commitment to innovation and will to survive has managed to rise above the adverse effects of a global pandemic. In the Philippines, in spite of the rising COVID-19 cases, there is still a promise of economic recovery and, in fact, prosperity for the real estate industry. According to a live streamed event by the Property Section of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, there are still a lot of opportunities for the property sector, in particular real estate investments in spite of a mindset that’s fixed on minimized risk.

Cebu, in particular, is starting to become a more attractive location for investors because of its business districts and developments including the Cebu Business Park and Cebu IT Park. Since more foreign businesses, in their bid to cut costs, are looking to outsource in the Philippines (primarily in Cebu) there’s a big opportunity for growth that can potentially outlive the pandemic. So if you’re looking to invest in property, Cebu might be for you.

That said, whether you’re an investor or just someone who’s looking for another home, it’s important to determine what makes a property a noteworthy asset. After all, if you’re spending money and taking a risk, you might as well make the most out of it. Here are a couple of things to look out for when looking for a house and lot for sale in Cebu.

Your Purpose

One important thing to consider when looking for a house and lot is what you’re going to use it for. If you’re looking for a place for your family to live well after you’ve passed, then you might want a more private and secure location for your children. If you’re looking for a location whose value increases exponentially over time, then you  might want to look for an area in the immediate business district. 

Alternatively, you can invest in a property that’s guaranteed to have higher appreciation values and, at the same time, offers the same kind of privacy and security you’re looking for when thinking about the future of your family. AboitizLand’s premier and master planned community in the Northern Valleys of Talamban, Priveya Hills does exactly that by being close to Cebu and Mandaue city and, at the same time, just providing the privacy you need to safely raise your family.

Proximity To City Centers

The more major developments or businesses a region has, the higher the appraisal value properties around it get. This means that, as an investor, you might want to look at a property that’s close to a location that either 1) already has a lot of businesses close by or 2) promises to be a business district of its own.

With Cebu being a major location for BPOs and other related businesses, investing in the area is becoming more and more attractive to local and foreign investors. As an example, AboitizLand’s Priveya Hills is located near the northern valleys of Talamban, Cebu. Only 20 minutes away from Cebu and Mandaue City, it is conveniently close to schools, commercial establishments and other major institutions.

The Developer

Of course, if you’re looking for a property to invest in, you have to keep in mind that whatever value it offers is a reflection of its developer. Knowing who or what the developer values most gives you an idea as to what you’re getting yourself into. These days, it’s not wise to work with just any developer given how economies fluctuate and how the pandemic can affect it.

So look for developers who don’t only promise property value escalation, but also those who think long-term sustainability. If there’s any developer you should be working with, it should probably be one that truly cares for its customers. This is, after all, a reflection of how they see you, the investor. AboitizLand, for example, strives to create better ways to live and uses the number of people’s lives uplifted as a key performance indicator.  AboitizLand also enables investors to digitally explore its developments through a safer, more convenient process at the comfort of their homes.

As a reflection of the developer’s mission statement, Priveya Hills was created to provide a long-term comfortable shelter for your family for generations to come. With excellent property management support and wonderful amenities, you can be sure that AboitizLand isn’t just smoke and mirrors.

Amenities And Facilities

When looking for a house and lot for sale in Cebu to invest in, it’s important to consider the amenities in the property. Will it require the owner to travel an hour and a half to get to a place of interest? Or will it take a 5-minute refreshing walk to get there?

A property’s amenities are a reflection of a developer’s commitment to enriching the life of its residents. The more amenities a property has, the more a developer cares – the more value it brings to the property too, making it a valuable asset to have in your portfolio.

Priveya Hills continues to embody AboitizLand’s Legacy of Living Well by providing world-class amenities and facilities that you can potentially take advantage of as a resident. For instance, the Priveya Hills Clubhouse is available to you and other residents. It has a pool and several function rooms that you can utilize to celebrate an important milestone. There are also the Priveya Hills North and South Parks where you can take advantage of the wide open space full of greenery and excellent landscaping to relax. All of these amenities are easily accessible through the Priveya Hills Spine Road.

Total Lot Area

Last, but most certainly not least, you have to consider the floor and total area size of a unit. This can, after all, determine the overall value of this real estate asset or the number of rooms you can create in your home. The bigger the lot size, the more creative you can get with it and the more people you can house and provide a sense of ownership and privacy for.

Priveya Hills’ has an average residential lot size of roughly around 401 square meters and 925 square meters. It is a low density development with only 11 lots per hectare, designed to have 3 beautifully landscaped major parks within its premises. Aside from creating a huge house, you are also free to create your own amenities that can add value to the property. For instance, you can add a pool or an extended garden to not only add value to your home, but also so you and your family can make the most out of the lot size you have.
