Start Investing in a Condo For Sale in Makati

So what brings you here to the country’s top business district? You visit Makati City because you’ve heard of all the top hotels, restaurants, and malls all over the city. One of your friends must have told you about Salcedo Market or how the city attracts some of the most affluent names in politics, culture, and business. There might be something about working from office spaces atop shiny new skyscrapers and charming classical buildings that make you feel like a true go-getter. 

Chances are, you’ve visited one too many times, or work there, and that you just can’t get enough of the city. 

Visiting Makati is one thing, but living here is a totally different animal. To buy real estate and reside in Makati, you probably assume that it’s going to cost an arm and a leg. There is some truth to that, considering that the estimated monthly cost for a single person in Makati roughly costs more than P35,000, according to Numbeo.com. A family of four, on the other hand, can spend as much as P124,917 without rent.

If you factor in rental costs, which, on average, is 176.72% higher than in Quezon City, you might find it thrice as hard to save. It doesn’t have to be that way though, especially if you really want to buy a home here. Secure a property investment for long-term rewards. Trust us when we say that this will pay off in the long run.
