2020 Philippine Real Estate Market Outlook

Schneidereit Realty’s 2020 Philippine Real Estate Market Outlook analyzes the Philippine property market from a 2020 forecasting perspective. This market insight covers the COVID-19 shock, vacancy risk, short-term rental disruption, OFW remittance resilience, office and BPO demand, POGO-related concentration risk, and the importance of cash flow over speculative appreciation.

Our 2020 view is defensive but not hopeless. The Philippine real estate market remains a long-term wealth-building asset, but the pandemic has made property selection, liquidity, tenant quality, and conservative rental assumptions more important than ever.
