Quick Tips In Buying A Condominium Unit

Buying a condominium property entails a big investment, so its important that you arm yourself with as much

knowledge about the property that you want to buy. Here are some quick tips that may help you make your investment decision a less painful one:

1. Consider Location - Determine the proximity of the condo-building to the places that you frequently go to. Is it near schools, a hospital, or work? These considerations are especially important if you plan to use it as a place of residence or to rent it out. Renters will usually come from the employee population that work within close proximity from your building. If your condo unit is within walking distance, it will command a better price than one a ride away.

2. Research The Company - There have been some developers that have failed to deliver on their customers by delaying or suspending the construction of their condominium project. This is usually due to bad cash-flow on part of the company. They no longer have the money to continue construction of the project. So, as part of your due-diligence, you should research on what companies have had a track record of not being able to deliver to their clients. But my recommendation is for you to buy your condo unit from a company that clearly has a solid financial condition and is a well known 'brand". The bigger, the better.

A Look Into The Growing Movement for Small Home Living

SO, YOU THINK CONDOS ARE SMALL?

This video talks about the growing movement for smaller, simpler, more practical living in small homes. It gave me a new perspective on the mindset of why an increasing number of people now want to live in small homes.

TV producer and Internet-video personality Kirsten Dirksen invites us on her journey into the tiny homes of people searching for simplicity, self-sufficiency, minimalism and happiness by creating shelter in caves, converted garages, trailers, tool sheds, river boats and former pigeon coops.

SMDC topped condo market in 2nd half of 2011

By staying true to our slogan: "Five Star Homes in Prime Locations, Made Affordable"; SMDC has managed to stay on top in terms of condominium sales in the Philippines. This Philippine Daily Inquirer article also mentions the strength of the condominium buyers' market, with a number of developers getting into the scene.

This is fueled by the growth of the Philippine economy under the current administration, and the confidence of people in a better future for the country.

Without further ado, here's the article from PDI, with link at the bottom:
