Why Now Is the Best Time to Invest in Real Estate

INQUIRER Property spoke with four industry experts about the resiliency of real estate and why deciding to buy property now will yield high returns.

David Leechiu, CEO and co-founder of Leechiu Property Consultants, Inc., reminds us that real estate is traditionally the best hedge against inflation. He notes that despite facing market challenges and financial crises, we’ve seen a consistent increase in the prices of properties in prime locations.

Speaking of prime locations, SMDC President Jose Mari Banzon highlights how SMDC prioritizes accessibility and synergies with other SM companies to offer convenience to end-users and investors. The company anticipates a resurgence in residential property sales and residential leasing due to the return of in-person work and classes as well as the growing buying power of many overseas Filipino workers.

Sheila Lobien, CEO of Lobien Realty Group, Inc., warns that prices will skyrocket once we move past the economic recovery. So take advantage of good payment terms and attractive discounts being offered right now.

But, as personal finance coach Randell Tiongson advises, make sure that you are financially prepared and that your property is worth it by doing research and visits.
