Buying a House and Lot for Sale in Baguio City

Posted by CLAIRISSA LAURETA on January 5th, 2018

So many homebuyers show great interest in investing in a property up north, specifically in Baguio City. Dubbed the Summer Capital of the Philippines, this city is a viable investment location. Baguio’s cool weather, laidback lifestyle, and stunning nature, mixed with all the benefits of urban living makes it a real contender when it comes to a good place to relocate or make a real estate investment in. Like any other real estate location in the country, there are certain things you should consider before jumping in to buy a Baguio property. Below are some basic steps to take as you consider buying a house and lot in the mountains: 

• First things first: Find a certified and experienced real estate broker. In many ways, working with a real estate broker can be the best decision you’ll make in your home buying journey. Not only will they keep you from the usual pitfalls of trying to make a home purchase on your own, they can also give you insider tips on how to make the best out of your budget. Contrary to what many believe, brokers are not only in the business to earn huge commissions. They are actually there to help you make smart decisions about your investment and place you in the house of your dreams. It also pays finding a real estate professional whose practice specializes in property locations where you want to buy. 

• Consider why you want to invest in a particular location. It would help trying to live locally at least for a couple of weeks to an entire month to get a feel for the local lifestyle. Rent a service residence and actually try to live like a local. This is also a great way to explore your options, visit different neighborhoods, and compare locations and prices before finally deciding to commit to a purchase. 

• Don’t leave all the work to your broker. Do your own research by reading trade pages, consulting friends, speaking with locals, and checking out your prospect neighborhoods. This is a smarter way to make a home purchase. 

• Check water supply. In Baguio, water is gold. Lack of good water supply in an area can easily ruin your purchase or empty your pockets due to expensive water delivery prices. 

• Finally, hire a lawyer you can consult with for legal matters and property laws governing your purchase.
