The Philippine property market in 2026 is no longer riding broad-based momentum, operating instead in a slower-growth environment where selectivity is key, according to a report by Colliers cited by BusinessWorld. The report identifies luxury developments and regional projects as emerging bright spots.
The macro backdrop has softened significantly, with the Philippine Statistics Authority reporting economic growth of just 2.8% in the latest quarter. This deceleration has forced developers and investors to pivot towards niche segments that continue to show resilience.
Colliers noted that luxury residential projects in Metro Manila and mixed-use developments in regional centers like Cebu and Davao are attracting demand from high-net-worth individuals and overseas Filipinos. The firm advised stakeholders to recalibrate strategies toward these pockets of growth.
