In one of our recent episodes, we took you on a full tour of a 167,000,000 PHP high-rise condo that’s being built in BGC, Metro Manila. Needless to say, a $3M equivalent is more than a little bit outside of our current budget, so today we’re meeting back up with Tim to see how much farther our money can go if we venture a bit outside of BGC. Will the savings be enough to pull us out of the bubble? Let’s find out.

Great realty vlog today. Yeah, the prices are much better than BGC, which seems overrated. For some reason, I still think PH prices (for the quality and design) are way over the top compared with similar properties in Hong Kong, Taipei, KL, etc. Sam is a nice guy, but seeing him in the background in almost every scene seems a bit creepy. Hahaha! Bravo to the Lockwood for a great vlog today. Keep 'em comin'!! 😊😊😊❤❤❤

Nice residences.. What would be interesting to me, if they also extend the ferries to up there.. Because ferries are an lesser known shortcut to some locations that normally would take forever because of traffic jams.. My favorite way to get to Binondo and Intramuros, even with no traffic jams, its more calm.. The City should really build upon that - its a gift to have two big rivers running trough Metro Manila! And way cheaper and easier to realize than to build a new rail-bound transport. As always, great content! You are slowly but surely get THE premier ressource for realty in Metro Manila! :)

Are you only interested in checking condos and apartments? I hope you can collaborate with Presello (they have a YT channel) when you finally do house tours.

@denniszenanywhere 4 ай бұрын

I think the presello homes are not designed for most families. They are ridiculously large for many Filipinos, especially those from abroad who cannot really afford php30m homes that would cost a fortune to centralize aircon as well. My older relatives, empty nesters and many like them from abroad, find them too big and too steep for them to climb up and down from. They end up having their own bungalow types. Condos are being snatched up because they are more secure and yes, better suited for older people. The Philippines should really build homes that are medium in size, reasonably priced, built friendly for older people like they do in Japan.

@minbie 4 ай бұрын

@@denniszenanywhere I understand your point. I mean, aside from being vocal about their family loving to stay in BGC, they also mentioned that they love checking out real estate. I just suggested Presello so that they can do more tours even without the intention of buying a house. 😊

Beautiful condos! The payment schedule on the condo is a little misleading, while it shows 30,276.80 a month for the next 70 months. It also shows a big final payment of 16,955,088 (approx $314k USD) and then approx 19k USD balance to move in as what she said. The 314k big payment is just a tad too much 😅 Of course that’s when bank financing comes in too

I wonder what is the thought process of pretty much of all these developers in regards with the closet/wardrobe doors. Why on earth are all these multi-tens-of-millions PHP new condos equipped still with old-school opening doors on the closets? Wouldn't they consider the space saving provided by sliding doors to be a good idea? They also come with a variety of finishing options i.e full door size mirrors giving more sense of space in these otherwise relatively size constrained bedrooms, foyers etc.

They are building small communities more close to BGC that's more near to coming MRT and also almost walking distance to BGC like Capitol Commons. Maybe not really walking...

Tip, Filipinos love to talk about things that will happen in the future when you're buying real estate. A road that isn't completed yet. Public transportation that is being built. Development of the area... Always be cautious of this. Things often do not go as planned. They have been calling other areas like Clark the "next BGC" for years now. Things develop at a snails pace but they'll charge you as if everything is opening that year. One of the reasons real estate in the Philippines is so high compared to salaries here and compared to other countries like Thailand or Malaysia.

@@angelocalima6338 I live in BGC and have pre-purchased a condo at Mandani Bay in Cebu. It’s not really an opinion… People trying to sell land or property constantly talk about plans for paved roads, coming public transportation, additional planned developments in the area… But you need to be careful because these can take a decade or more to come about. They’ll price the land/property as if the construction is right around the corner.

Right now they are both in online school. But Brooklyn is interested in in-person school. We’re looking into it.

how does one get in touch with the realtor that was showing you around? I am a retired military and commercial pilot planning my move to the Philippines

If you plan to stay outside BGC, I'd rather choose Ortigas Center where everything is just walking distance. Check out The Imperium at Capitol Commons in Ortigas. A premium property and the area is already well-developed. One of the future subway stations is also being built there.

Can you introduce on youtube the condo that is on the Mitsukoshi BGC ?

We are planning to vlog that one too! We are so curious about it 👍🏻

of course its cheaper bcoz. you're out from the box of BGc, the thing called hype dictates the price, but you can make it more cheaper if you stayed in apartment. that depends on your lifestyle..

The payment scheme does not add up ... 2.7 k + 36k + $515 per month for 6 years + 19 K final payment ... what about the difference between 400k and what was paid described earlier

Guys if the condo is not yet built better not to avail not to buy because the process is so long and sometimes scam property.If the unit or room is ready to live. that’s the best one
