Thanks Rod, I bought a unit in Tower 4 from 4 years ago. Your video gave me a glimpse of what I'm going to do with my place. I'm so excited. But sadly, because of the pandemic I won't have my unit until the middle of next year. Please keep on making informative videos of Cebu City. Bravo Zulu!
The biggest problem renting here is most people want two months security deposit (good luck getting it back) in addition to one month advance. I got lucky and only had to give one month deposit which is used for my utilities that the manager pays.
Thank you for these videos sir. Pretty thorough including most importantly the prices and the contact person. I am retired US Air Force and in 2 more years will be getting my SSS and will be in Philippines shortly thereafter. I hope you will not get tired of making these very informative videos.
GOOD INFO like the area Rod with the services and sidwalks look in good shape. im old and falling is kinda of a scary thing ..i really like they are close to AYALLA ..STAY SAFE BUD
Good video, but,.hmm, even though my currency have weakened against US dollars and others it still amazes me that the rent for a modern decent place in the Philippines are dearer or very close to a similar place costs in my country,, labour costs are 10-25% of what it is here and taxes and other costs are most likely much cheaper in the Philippines,,, i thought Philippines was a poor country but i realize that its more of an unequal/unjust country ! In other Asian countrys (Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam) a similar apartment costs about 40% less i believe.
I was told by a PH real estate agent who worked in Thailand that they over built years ago. The same might happen here. IT Park is a higher demand area also.
Rod, wow, very interesting to me. Those one bedrooms are more than enough room for me. Even the studio would be desirable. I really love the area and distance to everything needed. Especially for me seeking future plans on where to retire in Cebu. Now age 59 and getting closer to age 62. To me a perfect retirement area. From US American Air Force Security Police Military Veteran stationed at Clark Air Base, Philippines back in the day. Thank you for this great information Rod.
There is a ton of rental inventory in Cebu City. You can negotiate on rents. My buddy just rented in Calyx where they were asking 20k pesos and he got for 15k with a long term lease. Nice video Rod.
I agree, there is a huge inventory with more condos coming online soon. It will be another year for much of the recovery to happen I think as we will soon be past the "high tourist season".
Hello. I will go to Cebu for 1 month holidays next month can you give me information about Calyx, if i can booking online? 20k is very good price for me
Hi Christos. For a short term one month rental that’s a good price I think. Everyone’s unit I’m sure is a bit different and the units there are small but I think it’s a good base for being in Cebu for a month. I’m sure you are going to explore unless you are there for work.
Thanks for a great look around condo tour Rod. IT park looks a really nice and modern place to live. As a commercial district, the prices there will reflect that.
Nice video of the riala condos. You looked right across so I could see my unit at 38 Park Avenue ;-) Hope you can do a video in there once it's finally finished (construction is a year late already though).
they look decent kind of a place, but to me being from the countryside a prison all that concrete surrounding me, still i suppose not meant to be for everyone, did spend time in seaside town in the uk but left twenty years ago to return to my roots in the country, i miss it not one tiny bit. even when i come back to family in cebu they live in the country side, not like here but least not tower blocks lol. as usual video is as good and informative as always.
About 10 years ago developers here started downsizing units to "fit more people in" during the growth and demand period Tom and I think small is the new normal here.
Hello , Thank you for the great videos. One of your viewers mentioned pocket WiFi ( Home WIFI unit) Can you or one of your readers explain how it works, Best companies to use, pricing etc. I've watched some you tube videos on it, but I can't quite get a handle on it. Thanks :)
Thanks Al! This is a link to an older video covering some of this. I will try to update the information with a new video in the coming 2 weeks. I also found it a bit confusing at first. ruclips.net/video/ZKPJwcfHVbM/видео.html
The windows seem to be very good at blocking out the street noise, but are the effective against roosters? I will be looking in this area later this year or early next year for an extended holiday.
Mate its a Business district i highly doubt you will see any roosters maybe only the handsome looking guys masquerading as roosters.... But in all seriousness its not condensed with a high volume traffic....so you are fine mate 🎉😊
I am not sure if she is still doing property management Jay. Send me an email and I will give you another contact. Email is: AmazingPhilippinesdoitnow@gmail.com
Prices are often negotiable Sunwoo. You might fine an owner with a studio who will accept $300, about 15,000 pesos with a longer term lease. If they bought preselling units, their cost is less.
Often negotiable and depending on the lease length Kevin but I think they asked 25K/month. I know of others not as good of a location or as well furnished going for 20K. A studio out of a preferred area might go for 15k.
Good question Mike but sorry, it depends. My electric has always been on when I moved in and I would pay the landlord or the electric company direct when I get the bill. Internet can take 3-4 weeks in my experience. One way around that is to buy a pocket wifi or what they call a "Home WIFI unit" for about 1000 pesos, $20 USD and "load" it with credits. Each company has promos you can take advantage of. I buy a 2 week promo for 250 pesos, $5 USD that gives me calls, texts, 15 GB of data and an extra 15 GB of data for several sites including youtube, sports, etc.
what are the rental terms like in the Philippines? are tenants protected to a degree or not. (uk a landlord can virtually kick you out as and when. France it may take up to 2 years or more for a landlord to get rid of you without him collecting rent?)
I have had good luck here with landlords Julian but I have heard the bad stories also. Get a written contract if possible so you have something to refer to.
Property taxes in the Philippines are extremely low John so they shouldn't be much of a concern. I think condo dues at this property is between 80-90 pesos/sq meter. My observation is average in condos is 70-90 pesos/sq meter. I have seen a low of 40 pesos where the property is very poorly maintained to 150 at high end condos.
@@johloz easiest way to come up with numbers is 50 pesos per dollar . So if you have a 35 square meter condo at 90 pesos per square meter you are looking at 3150 pesos per month. So about 64 US dollars per month for condo dues .
Can anyone recommend a rental agency/person near Ayale mall cebu. I'm looking for inexpensive rental of 3 to 4 months $300/$350 range WiFi/safe/ Hot shower lol. I can't do these cold showers,
Contact the agent for this or other properties: Michelle email: mpadillosnell@yahoo.com Cell: 0916 536 8636 I think she has units available in several different condos Douglas.

You really do a good job showing these properties, i do love the smell of wood in my home too. Cheers Rod

That one situated better away from the night band and foods.

Wow 35.000 peso for little over 30 sqm!!! much more expensive than other Asian countries…. Even Europe.
I don't see a lot of savings on housing in these major cities in the Philippines. Looks like rents may be a bit less, but so is the square footage.
Wow, that 2nd one (1 bedroom) is really nice.
I think so too Timothy.
I like the one bedroom the wood sets if off
I agree Wally.

These look like death traps in the case of a fire
Dam 57 sqm should be the size of a 1 bedroom way to small for a 2 bedroom for me

I use white noise such as a fan or sounds you can get from the internet such as rainfall, stream, etc, if noise bothers me

Seems the prices there are still high. I guess it's Dumaguete for me.
Quoted prices are often negotiable Gary so make an offer if interested in anything here or in Dumaguete.

How long does it take to get electricity and internet turned on?

I get renters rights. But I wouldn't want to be an apartment owner in France if tenants can stay for up to 2 years without paying. That's just crazy.
I have had good luck here with landlords Julian but I have heard the bad stories also. Get a written contract if possible so you have something to refer to.

Do they have a gym?
No, but there is a 24 hr gym in IT Park you can pay to join.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 oh a gym would be nice. Can the pool be used already? Or is it still closed?

IMHO Unless one does business in IT park or nearby, it doesn’t make sense to move to PH and then live in midst of a sea of concrete.
There are many types of people and many reasons why we chose to live where we do of course.

@@AmazingPhilippines1 anything in IT park is pretty good though better than many condos elsewhere
Nice , but no balcony , so not for me 😁
Yea, you really need a balcony just to have a place to get some cool Breeze. Other than that the one bedroom was nice.
