Meanwhile, looking solely at the market data for Metro Manila condominiums, where developers have been most active in recent decades, tells us the other side of the story. In 2025, upper-middle and upscale projects account for more than two-thirds of unsold residential condominium inventory in Metro Manila, while demand in the middle-income segment has been declining since 2023. Absorption of the current Metro Manila condominium inventory is estimated at a little over four years. And yet, the country’s housing backlog consists primarily of socialized housing needs.

There is a clear mismatch: too much supply where demand is low, too little where demand is highest. But we know that the fix isn’t simply more units—it’s more of the right units, reasonably financed and delivered where households actually want to live.

Philippine banks’ exposure to real estate lending dropped to its lowest level in seven years in the fourth quarter of 2025, as domestic lenders gravitated toward other high-growth sectors while keeping real estate exposure in check.

According to the latest data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the ratio of real estate loans (REL) to the total loan portfolio of the banking system eased to 18.96 percent, the lowest share recorded since December 2018, when the ratio stood at 18.65 percent. This exposure level is lower than the 19.75 percent recorded in the same quarter of the previous year and the third quarter’s 19.54 percent.

CENTRAL LUZON is emerging as one of the fastest-growing regions in the Philippines, solidifying its role as a vital contributor to the country’s economic development. Based on latest government data, the region recorded a 6.5% gross domestic product (GDP) growth in 2024, an improvement from 6.1% in 2023. This expansion underscores the dynamism of Central Luzon’s economy, driven by construction, manufacturing, and services sectors. Notably, the region accounted for 11.1% of the national GDP, highlighting its strategic importance in the broader Philippine economy over the near to medium term.

Over the past few years, we have seen major developers aggressively landbanking and developing masterplanned communities in Central Luzon, especially in Bulacan, Tarlac, and Pampanga. We expect proactive landbanking in other parts of the region as developers are gradually positioning and firming up their positions in a constantly evolving property market like Central Luzon.

The BE Group of Companies has formally inaugurated its Luzon headquarters in Bonifacio Global City, establishing a permanent beachhead in the Philippines’ primary financial district to scale its hospitality and real estate portfolios. The move signals an aggressive push by the Cebu-based conglomerate to tighten its grip on the Metro Manila market, which remains the largest source of capital and tourism traffic for its Southern assets.

Located in the heart of BGC, the new office acts as a dual-purpose nerve center for the organization. For the hospitality arm, BE Hotels and Resorts, the facility will streamline coordination with Manila-based travel agencies and corporate wholesalers who funnel guests to the group’s properties in Cebu, Bohol, and Siargao. Simultaneously, the office provides BE Residences with a dedicated base to manage relationships with property brokers and institutional investment partners who are increasingly looking toward provincial hubs for diversified yields.

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) recently announced they are among the early adopters of the Direct Debit facility in the Philippines, an interoperable and multilateral auto-debit system that allows property buyers and tenants to settle recurring payments from any account from participating banks—seamlessly, securely, and on schedule.

Louie Cruz, head of BPI institutional banking tells the BusinessMirror in an email interview that the Direct Debit facility is a product of strategic collaboration between two leading Ayala companies, combining BPI’s digital banking infrastructure and Ayala Land’s extensive property ecosystem to modernize payment processes and elevate the overall customer experience. Through the integration, ALI property buyers and tenants can authorize automatic debits from any participating banks for recurring obligations such as property amortizations, rentals, association dues, and other scheduled payments, with full rollout targeted within the first quarter of the year following the pilot phase.
