What can you say about AVIDA Reala in IT Park.

[Code Talker]

A condo can only last for so long as the entire bldg is well maintained. With you own house, you can remodel, rebuild, repair, improve it from the inside out at your option.

if you can afford to buy one (CASH), why not?! make sure lang nga dako nang imo condo nga kuhaon TS. Total para inyo man na, go for it. Be ready sa monthly dues sa condo. Pero para jud nako ts, mas maayo ang H&L. Unless naa namoy other properties (yuta), i suggest H&L nalng palita.

Asa mas Dali mahalin Kung e resell ang condo? Avida by Ayala in it park or the aveo by Ayala in Cebu business park? Dali ba kaha ni mahalin ang condo by Ayala Kung e resell na say 5 yrs from now. They say basta Ayala, Dali ra gyud am resell, agree mo ani?

^^ Kinsay niingon nimo ana bai? agente sad? yaw tuo ana bai, marketing pitch na. Parehas rana sauna nga Palit og Nokia phone kay pwede maprenda, or palit og alahas kay para magkina-unsa dali ra iprenda..

Hinoon, naay posibilidad nga dili lisod ibaligya nang mga condo sa ayala (after x years)tungod maayo man sad momaintain ang ayala sa ilang lugar (icompara nimo sa ubang developer diha). so di jud hinoon moubos kaayo ang value sa imo condo. but then again bai, depende jud na sa market. unsaon man ang supply kung walay demand? para nako bai ha, yaw tuo dayon anang dali ra ma resell.

dili tingali lisod ibaligya.. but can you sell it at a premium price or cheap bargain? there are lots of condos being developed, and a lot of people are buying.. but are there people occupying the units? or are most people just buying and thinking of renting / selling it in the future? if so, daghan mog kompetensya.

On my experience, I bought a condo before my wedding day for these reasons:
1. I don't want to stay in my parent's house or my in-laws once I got married. I want to be independent and be responsible in raising my family.

2. Because I need to be close to the city and the cheapest I can afford is a condo. It was near IT Park. 18sqm at 1.2M. If we do the math, its not cheap really but it's the most affordable there is. I have no other choice.

After 10 months of staying in my new condo, I decided to get out of it. For the ff reasons:
1. It's too expensive to maintain. Maintenance dues, fumigation, garbage collection, water & electricity cost far higher than MCWD & VECO. You need to have an aircon for 24hrs because ventilation is not good. Also you need to pay for the laundry because you can't hang your clothes. When cooking, you'll use electricity because you can't use LPG. Also you need a range hood so that the fire alarm system won't ring because you are cooking inside. Range hood will consume another electricity.

2. As my baby grows, the enclosed environment is not good on his personality development. The only view the child gets everyday is on 1 side of the room. The other 3 sides are all walls. Condos are just good as a sleeping quarter not as a place where you bond your family. Healthwise, using aircon to help ventilate the unit for 24hrs is not good for babies.

3. I feel that our condo developer is just too arrogant that they claim superiority and makes policies without the approval of the unit owners. We feel like we are tenants and not unit owners. Ug maskig moingon pa ang ubang developers nga dili sila inana, i seriously doubt it. I know Filinvest, i know Camella, i know Primary, i know Sta Lucia, i know Aboitiz...they will control their projects even when they should be out of it already.

daghan jud gidili basta condo. Maayo jud gihapon balay. To think nga this is for lifetime, mas maayo pa ng lugar nga dili kaayo ka maproblema
