Metro Cebu Leads Residential Property Price Growth in Q4 2025
Cebu, Philippines — Metro Cebu emerged as the top-performing residential market outside Metro Manila in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), despite signs of a broader cooling trend across the housing sector.
Latest BSP data showed that residential property prices in Metro Cebu increased by 7% year-on-year, outperforming other regions outside the National Capital Region (NCR). This growth positions Cebu as a key bright spot amid mixed performance nationwide.
The rest of the Greater Manila Area (GMA)—including nearby growth corridors such as Cavite and Laguna—recorded a 3.5% increase in residential property prices during the same period.
Meanwhile, other regional markets showed signs of weakening. Metro Mindanao posted a 1.4% decline, while other provincial areas across the Philippines experienced a sharper 7% contraction, marking the steepest drop since 2019.
The data highlights Metro Cebu’s continued strength and resilience as a prime real estate investment hub outside Metro Manila.
