What is the real property value of the properties that is highly pitched as GOOD BUY / GOOD INVESTMENT Properties?
Due to this devastating Flood/Typhoon Ondoy.... TRUE VALUE of the properties is showed up.... Let's face it most Property sellers are selling their properties WAY ABOVE the TRUE Market VALUE of their properties... Name it Real Estate Investor, flippers, Brokers, Agents and Sellers.. =) The day of the Reckoning of the real estate market in the Philippines is coming?
By 2003, every fool was getting into real estate. The checkout girl at my local supermarket handed me her newly printed real estate agent business card. The housing market became the hot topic for discussion at parties. "Flipping" became the buzzword at PTA meetings. Homes became ATM machines as credit-card debtors took long-term loans to pay off short-term debt.
Mortgage companies advertised repeatedly, wooing people to borrow more money. Financial planners, tired of explaining to their clients why their retirement plans had lost money, jumped ship to become mortgage brokers. During this euphoric period, amateurs believed they were real estate geniuses. They would tell anyone who would listen about how much money they had made and how smart they were.
