I had the chance to drive around Nuvali again after quite some time, and honestly, I was amazed by how much it has grown.
When the pandemic hit, property appreciation naturally slowed down. Before COVID-19, annual growth rates of around 8–15% were not unusual. Over the past few years, however, appreciation in many areas softened to roughly 1–5% annually.
At the same time, construction costs surged, bank interest rates climbed, and inflation affected almost every sector. It felt like multiple challenges hit the market all at once.
But after spending time around Nuvali, one thing became very clear: development never stopped. The expansion is massive and continuous. Companies are aggressively positioning themselves through the acquisition of commercial lots, road networks continue to expand, and new malls, retail spaces, and commercial developments keep rising across the area.
That’s what makes the market interesting today. Despite the scale of development happening around Nuvali, prices have remained relatively steady compared to the pace of growth and expansion in the area.
In a different environment—without the pandemic, inflation, and high interest rates—it’s difficult to imagine Nuvali still being priced at current levels considering how much progress has already been made.
Maybe this is the kind of window investors and end-users should pay attention to while the market is still catching up to the area’s long-term potential.
