Frequently Asked Questions About Cebu, Philippines

Get answers to common questions about buying property in Cebu.

What is the current real estate market trend in Cebu City?
As of 2023, Cebu City continues to be a robust real estate market driven by strong economic growth, a burgeoning BPO industry, and increased infrastructure projects. Property prices have shown a steady increase of around 5-8% annually, with high demand in both residential and commercial sectors. The city's strategic location in the Visayas, combined with government incentives for investors, makes it an attractive destination for both local and international buyers.
Are there any legal restrictions for foreigners purchasing property in Cebu?
Foreigners can own condominium units in Cebu, provided that foreign ownership does not exceed 40% of the entire condominium project, as per Philippine law. However, they are generally restricted from owning land. Instead, foreigners can opt for long-term lease agreements or purchase property through a Philippine corporation, where the foreign stake does not exceed 40%.
