The Digital Property Seeker Series 2019: Residential Supply and Demand Outlook for Q4 2018 In Partnership with Colliers Philippines

No Comments

Executive Summary

This Digital Property Seeker Series focuses on the supply and demand in the residential market during the fourth quarter of 2018, covering the following residential categories in the Philippines:

  • Lot
  • House
  • Apartment
  • Condo

This study will dive deep into these categories, identifying the top locations that experienced the most supply or demand increase, along with the reasons behind them based on data gathered independently by Lamudi and ColIiers Philippines covering the given period.

The Demand section was based on three indicators: Leads, Sessions, and Pageviews.

Page views are the total number of page visits. However, they are not unique views but an aggregate of all visits. Sessions are the number of times spent by a user in searching for a property. There can be multiple page views within each session. A Lead, on the other hand, refers to a property seeker that has made a query, which, may later on be converted into a sale.

October registered as the best performing month across all categories measured by the three indicators. Overall numbers in all categories, however, declined in December.

The Apartment category had the highest percentage of pageviews, sessions and leads for the fourth quarter. In last place was the House category. It is a shift worth noting as the house category generated the most interest in all three indicators in the prior quarter.

The study’s Supply section, on the other hand, will give a brief overview of the residential real estate trends for the fourth quarter of 2018. It will also discuss the general outlook of the residential sector for the entire year and a few points on the condominiums market in particular.

Data on the estimated number of condominium units currently available in the country will also be provided. This could give an insight on how difficult it is to meet the housing shortage despite the earnest efforts of private developers and the government, as well as show the current concentration of condominium projects in Metro Manila.

Supply Overview

According to Lamudi’s exclusive data, from October to December 2018, the country saw the overall supply of its residential real estate properties take a slight dip to 7.45 percent. It was on a steady rise all throughout the year, beginning from a low of 1.72 percent in the first quarter. This jumped to 9.80 percent from April to June before peaking at 10.92 percent from July to September.

Jared’s Mailbox: Vintage Batman + Robin Postcard

No Comments

I recently received this postcard from the mail. It was my Tita Jinky who swapped this for me because she knows that I love Batman, yes, including the old version. This one is from the Batman TV series that featured Adam West as our favorite caped crusader.

This is what Wiki has to say about Batman TV series:

Batman is a 1960s American live action television series, based on the DC comic book character of the same name. It stars Adam West as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Burt Ward as Dick Grayson / Robin ~ two crime-fighting heroes who defend Gotham City from a variety of arch villains. It is known for its camp style, upbeat theme music, and its intentionally humorous, simplistic morality {aimed at its largely teenage audience}. This included championing the importance of using seat belts, doing homework, eating vegetables, and drinking milk. It was described by executive producer William Dozier as the only situation comedy on the air without a laugh track. The 120 episodes aired on the ABC network for three seasons from January 12, 1966 to March 14, 1968, twice weekly for the first two and weekly for the third. In 2016, television critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ranked Batman as the 82nd greatest American television show of all time.

I have yet to see this series but mum said she used to watch it when she was younger when it was aired in a local channel. Although I prefer the modern Bat-suit and the modern actors who portrayed this superhero, I do believe that Adam West did a great job and he was a cool Batman. I also enjoy seeing his Lego version in the Lego Batman Movie game.

This is an awesome superhero postcard + I love having this in my collection. My mum has build up my collection over the years + she plans to add some more this year as she re-activates our postcrossing.com profiles so we can send and received more cards. She hopes to have me write my own cards for sending. I guess we will see if I am up to the task. 🙂

So, do you love Batman + are you also into postcrossing?
