In the second half of 2025, the Philippine real estate market is showing renewed momentum, spurred by infrastructure developments, hybrid work preferences, and the growing influence of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) as property investors. Metro Manila remains pivotal, but provincial cities like Cebu, Davao, and Iloilo are becoming vibrant growth centers, driven by the government’s “Build Better More” infrastructure initiative. Meanwhile, vertical living is evolving with post-pandemic preferences—buyers now prioritize condos offering home-office flexibility, open-air access, and smart amenities. OFWs are increasingly investing in income-generating properties, and the digitalization of property transactions is transforming the market experience, led by tech-forward firms like IQI Philippines. 

Looking ahead, demand remains robust for mid-market and affordable housing, especially in emerging BPO and industrial zones. Townhouses, house-and-lot offerings, and sustainable developments are attracting millennials and returning Filipinos. Meanwhile, the commercial sector benefits from e-commerce-driven growth in logistics and warehousing. Despite a generally optimistic outlook, challenges linger: high interest rates, elevated construction costs, and political or economic uncertainties are prompting some buyers to remain cautious. Nonetheless, the broader trend suggests a resilient and adaptive market, poised for sustained growth.
