In the middle of a year marked by steady growth and strategic recalibration, the Philippine property sector is learning how to listen.

At recent market briefings by Leechiu Property Consultants and Lobien Realty Group attended by Property Report, it was clear that Q2 2025 reflects a real estate landscape finding its rhythm. Developers are becoming more responsive. Buyers are becoming more discerning. And the dialogue between the two is starting to evolve in meaningful ways.

The result? A residential market that's quietly but firmly laying the groundwork for sustainable momentum.

POSITIVE INDICATORS UNDERPIN RESILIENCE

The fundamentals remain strong. According to Lobien Realty Group, the Philippine economy expanded by 5.4% year-on-year in Q1 2025, continuing the 5.6% growth recorded in 2024. All major sectors posted gains, led by services at 6.3%. With inflation easing to 2.2%, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas cut policy rates to 5.25% by midyear, offering welcome support to the property sector.

According to Lobien Realty Group's 2025 Mid-Year Report, the current dynamics point to a buyer's market, with developers offering longer payment terms, discounts, and flexible financing—an encouraging sign for homebuyers and investors.
