Affordable housing units in Cebu under PHP 2 million comprise 18% of the current market inventory


In 2025, Cebu's affordable housing market is shaped by key factors from recent years.

Back in 2023 and 2024, there was a strong push to meet the housing needs of low- and middle-income families. This effort was largely due to the growing affordability gap and the rise of informal settlements, as noted by the Triple Line Consulting report. The focus was on creating more accessible housing options to bridge this gap.

Platforms like OnePropertee showcased a variety of affordable housing options during this time. Prices ranged from as low as PHP 580,000 to PHP 2.20 million, indicating a wide array of choices for potential buyers. However, the data didn't specify the exact percentage of homes priced under PHP 2 million, though it was clear that such options were available.

The Cebu rental market also saw an increase in active listings, which suggested a growing supply of properties, including affordable units. Despite this, there was a decrease in closed rentals, hinting at either an oversupply or shifting preferences among renters.

Affordable housing units in Cebu priced under PHP 2 million make up 18% of the current market inventory. This statistic highlights the availability of budget-friendly options for those looking to invest in property.
