Mid-income condo market booms with 70% net demand, luxury segment to rise

Title Mid-Income Condo Market Booms Luxury Segment on Rise; What's Next for REAL Estate?

The mid-income condominium market has emerged as the driving force behind the pre-selling market, accounting for 70 percent of net demand and experiencing an 8 percent year-on-year (YoY) increase in net take-up in 2025. According to Colliers Philippines' Research Director Joey Bondoc, this surge can be attributed to increased developer competition, new launches, stronger net take-up, and aggressive Ready-for-Occupancy (RFO) promotions.

The luxury segment, priced at P20 million and above, is also experiencing significant growth. With premium residential projects slated for turnover in 2026 and 2027, this segment is expected to account for 22 percent of total demand in 2026 and rise sharply to 62 percent in 2027. Notable luxury projects include Eluria by Arthaland, Aurelia Residences by RLC Residences and Shang Properties, Parkford Suites by Alveo Land, The Estate by SMDC and Federal Land, and Seasons Residences-Fuyu by Federal Land and Nomura.

The overall supply of condominium units is set to increase, with 13,000 units scheduled for completion in 2026 – a significant jump from last year's volume. The C5 corridor is gaining ground as a new business district, with many developers having their respective townships along this corridor.
