Mandaluyong Real Estate: Condos and Homes to Buy

Mandaluyong sits in the middle of Metro Manila and shares the Ortigas Center skyline with Pasig and Quezon City. Shaw Boulevard is the main spine for towers, malls and offices, and the MRT-3 line runs along EDSA with stops in the city, which is what keeps rental demand steady among office workers.

Traffic is the trade-off. Buyers tend to choose a tower within walking distance of a rail station or their workplace, then accept a smaller floor area. Neighbouring Pasig and Makati offer similar product at different price points, and Taguig is the newer alternative.

The Philippine Constitution bars foreigners from owning land. You can own a condominium unit, provided foreign ownership of the whole project stays under 40%, so confirm the developer still has foreign quota before reserving. Houses are usually sold with land, so non-Filipinos normally need a long lease or a Filipino spouse or partner structure, and this needs legal advice.

Budget for documentary stamp duty, transfer tax and registration fees, and check whether the unit has a Condominium Certificate of Title rather than a contract-to-sell only.
