​Pointers for Choosing Your Dream Second Home in Baguio City ​

home in Baguio (panagbenga)

The Philippines is a culture-rich country that pays much respect to festivals, customs, and traditions of its provinces, cities, and towns. After all, these festivals are the very reason why both local and international tourists go to key places in the country. One such festival that attracts many tourists every year is the Panagbenga Festival or Flower Festival that’s held annually in Baguio. It’s a month-long festival held in February (last day of celebration usually falls on the first Sunday of March) and meant to pay tribute to the flowers of Baguio. It was also started as a way to rise up and overcome the devastation brought about by the killer earthquake that rocked the city in the 90s.
 
Trade fairs, bazaars, street dances, parades, cultural dances, and float parades are some of the things to look forward to during the Panagbenga. However, more than that, everyone troops to Baguio to witness the lovely blooms of the city. It’s also a way for the younger generations to become acquainted with the cultures and traditions of Baguio City.
 
One good thing about the Panagbenga is even those who live in Manila make room in their busy schedules to go up to Baguio, if only to experience the festival even for just a few days. Nevertheless, wouldn’t it be more practical if you just bought a house and lot in Baguio City for sale specifically for that reason? Having your own home in Baguio will make the Panagbenga experience even more special. Besides, you’re already assured of your home away from home whenever you’re in Baguio.
 
Of course, you need to consider some things when planning to buy a second house or a condominium in Baguio City for sale. Here are some of those considerations:
 
1. Make sure everyone is on board
 
When you choose a house and lot in Baguio City for sale, make sure that everyone agrees with your choice. Of course, if you hold the purse strings and are bent on buying a certain property, no one can stop you from doing so. But unless you want to spend time alone in this retreat or unless you want to have to drag people to go with you, a consensus would be best for everyone concerned, including you.
 
It might be necessary to make a compromise when you discuss this dream home. For every would-be mountain climber in the family, there is often one mall habitué or one movie fan. Try to find something that everyone can live with and some people will actually be happy about.
 
2. Special features
 
When you look for a second home or condominium in Baguio City for sale, even one that you will only be using for a few days or weeks during the year, try to find a place that has some special features that may help vacations become more interesting. Make sure the property is near places of interest like parks, golf courses, shopping malls, and even the area where the bulk of the Panagbenga activities occur.
 
3. From Second Home to Primary Residence
 
If you think that your second home may one day be your primary residence, get a place that will not be too difficult to live in. Take into account how far it is from the grocery, the pharmacy, and other places that you need services from for daily living. Pick a house and lot in Baguio City for sale in a place where you will have peace and quiet if that is what you want but be careful you are not too isolated for the occasional company or for safety’s sake.
 
Choosing your dream second home is a very exciting endeavor that you will no doubt enjoy. With careful thought and planning, the home you choose will be one that you will take pleasure in for as long as you want to call it yours.
