PH property prices climbed 1.6% in Q4 2025

Residential property prices in the Philippines posted a 1.6% year-on-year growth in the fourth quarter of 2025, the slowest in nearly seven years, data released by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Friday showed.

Central bank data showed that Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) — a measure of the average change in the various types of housing units calculated using data on loans from banks — saw a slowdown from the 1.9% annual growth in the previous quarter, and the 9.8% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The fourth-quarter growth is the slowest in 27 quarters since the first quarter of 2019.

The slowdown was seen mostly in areas outside Metro Manila, where the RRPI grew by 1.0% in the quarter, slower than the 1.6% increase in the third quarter of 2025 and the 8.0% jump in the last quarter of 2024, marking the slowest growth on record.

The National Capital Region (NCR) posted a 2.3% growth in the RRPI, unchanged from the previous quarter, but slower than the 12.3% increase in the fourth quarter of 2024.

In terms of housing type, prices of single-attached or detached units, apartments, townhouses, and duplexes increased by 0.1% in the fourth quarter, slower than the 1.9% the previous quarter and the smallest increase since the first quarter of 2019.

Condominium units, meanwhile, saw a 3.5% increase in prices, up from 1.4% the previous quarter. —AOL, GMA Integrated News
