What you Need to Know Before you Invest in Real Estate Cebu

In some aspects of life, the real estate business can be a real jungle to manage. People who lack experience in the field can quickly lose focus, make mistakes and get sidetracked along the way without even knowing it.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), real estate in the Philippines particularly in Cebu has increased in 2015. While apartment and condo living have gained interest from investors, surveys recently revealed that majority of Filipinos and foreigners mostly prefer to purchase house and lot packages.

Lamudi Philippines, for example, revealed that most of its respondents are looking for house and lot properties.  And others were looking for condominiums, apartments, and townhouses.

Cebu nowadays is considered as the second most cited area for investors who are looking for a property (next to Manila). It is on the list of highly populated and popular cities for home buyers together with Lapu-Lapu, Bacoor, Imus, and Dasmarinas, Cavite.

If you could get a chance to give at least recommendations to a new real estate investor who is planning to purchase a property in Cebu, what would it be?
