In 2025, affordability in the Philippine real estate market has become a growing concern. Data from Colliers Philippines shows residential property prices in Metro Manila increased by over 12% compared to last year, while commercial leasing rates surged up to 8%. Many families and small businesses now face difficulties in purchasing or renting spaces suitable for their needs. This trend has created financial strain and limited access to quality living and working environments.

The high cost of property not only affects homeowners but also impacts small and medium enterprises trying to establish a presence in competitive markets. Businesses often compromise on location or size, which can hinder growth and productivity. Families, meanwhile, are forced to spend larger portions of their income on housing, leaving less for essential expenses like education, healthcare, and investments.

Through its Real Estate Management program, students learn strategic market analysis, property valuation, and investment planning to make informed decisions in a high-demand market.
