Is the Philippine property market in danger of being in a property bubble? Click on the infographic below to find out
 

MANILA, Philippines – It doesn’t take much to notice that the speed of real estate development is rapidly changing the Manila skyline.  

Office buildings and high-rises seem to be sprouting up like beanstalks around the metro. And the numerous construction sites around the city show that this trend is not slowing down. 

While an increase in development seems like a good indication of a growing economy, this has also been a cause of alarm, with naysayers worried that the property market is about to hit a saturation point.

The increase in development and steep incline in property prices is happening due to the high demand. However when the market gets too inflated and reaches a saturation point, this can cause a rapid decline in prices and create a domino effect for the rest of the economy. 

Remember the 1997 Asian Financial crisis? Jobs were lost, companies went belly up, and banks turned insolvent. Therefore it is understandable why many are viewing the recent boom in the property market with trepidation. 

As we continue to be bombarded everyday with property ads in the newspapers and pamphlets are being copiously distributed in malls, you do begin to wonder, “Does the bubble exist?” 

Below is an infographic that assesses the different conditions that contribute to a hypothetical real estate bubble, the current situation in the Philippines, and how we are not in danger of bursting.
