Financing your first home
Bank loans, in-house financing and Pag-IBIG side by side: what each one costs over 15 or 20 years, which documents you need, and how much you should have ready before you reserve a unit.
Online property expo · Philippines
Walk through developer booths, sit in on live talks about financing and ownership, and talk to a property consultant — entirely online, from any device.
Everything a weekend property fair offers — the floor plans, the price lists, the agent you can actually ask questions — rebuilt as a website you can visit at midnight in your pyjamas.
One free registration gives you access to every booth and every talk. No queue, no entrance fee, no travelling across the metro on a Saturday.
Each developer booth holds project brochures, unit layouts, indicative price ranges, turnover schedules and payment terms you can read at your own pace.
Scheduled sessions cover the parts buyers get stuck on: bank versus in-house financing, Pag-IBIG requirements, and what pre-selling really commits you to.
Send your shortlist to a property consultant and get a written comparison — monthly amortisation, total cost, and what each project actually includes.
Short, practical sessions run through the expo. Each one answers a question first-time buyers keep asking, with the numbers written out rather than glossed over.
Bank loans, in-house financing and Pag-IBIG side by side: what each one costs over 15 or 20 years, which documents you need, and how much you should have ready before you reserve a unit.
Why pre-selling units are cheaper, what turnover delays actually mean for a buyer, and the contract clauses worth reading twice before you sign anything.
Association dues, land ownership, resale value and commute time — the trade-offs that decide which of the three fits your budget and the way you live.
How overseas Filipino workers handle reservations, remittances, special power of attorney and turnover inspection without flying home for every step.
Transfer tax, documentary stamp tax, registration, association dues and move-in fees — the amounts that surprise buyers who budgeted only for the unit itself.
Realistic occupancy rates, what tenants near business districts look for, and how to read a yield figure without being sold on the best-case version of it.
Booths are grouped by the kind of property they offer, so you can skip straight to what fits your budget instead of scrolling past everything else.
Studio to three-bedroom units in and around the central business districts, including pre-selling towers with staggered downpayment terms.
Subdivision projects in the provinces around Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao, from starter row houses to single-detached homes on titled lots.
Titled residential lots for buyers who plan to build later, with the zoning and title details you need before committing.
Finished units available for immediate move-in, for buyers who need a home now rather than a turnover date two years out.
Most listings sit in three corridors, each with a different price level and a very different commute.
Makati, Bonifacio Global City, Ortigas and Quezon City — the highest prices per square metre, the shortest commutes, and the deepest rental market.
Pasay, Parañaque and the Cavite–Laguna corridor: newer masterplanned developments, more space for the money, longer travel into the city.
Cebu City, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu — a growing business district with condo and house-and-lot supply well below Metro Manila pricing.
The questions the help desk answers most often.
No. Registration and access to every booth and talk are free. You only ever pay a developer directly, under the terms in their own contract — the expo never collects a reservation fee on their behalf.
No. The expo runs in a normal browser on a phone, tablet or laptop. A stable connection is enough for the talks; the booth material is readable even on a slow one.
You can shortlist projects, get full price and payment details, and be introduced to the developer's accredited sales team. The reservation, the contract to sell and every payment happen with the developer under their standard process.
Yes, and a good share of visitors do. Talk recordings and booth material stay available regardless of time zone, and consultants are used to handling reservations for buyers who are overseas.
They are indicative. Developers update price lists regularly and promotional terms change, so always confirm the current figure and what it includes in writing before you reserve.
A realistic monthly budget, proof of income for the last three months, and a shortlist of two or three locations. That is enough for a consultant to tell you which projects you actually qualify for.
Registration is free and takes a minute. Bring your questions — the point of the expo is that someone answers them before you sign anything.
