Trump Admin Expected to Bolster Philippine Real Estate 2025

President Trump Could Benefit Real Estate in the Philippines

Real Estate Consultancy Firm Santos Knight Frank believes that US President Donald Trump can help boost the real estate industry in the Philippines. As a businessman with a keen interest in real estate, Trump understands the ins and outs of this sector and, hence could have a positive impact on the industry. Read on to see why SKF is holding on to such belief and is very optimistic that the Trump administration will open more opportunities for the Philippine real estate market this 2025.

Implementation of the CREATE MORE Act

Not only Donald Trump, but the Marcos administration is also pushing proactive measures to create investment opportunities in Philippine real estate. For instance, the CREATE MORE Act is designed with investment-friendly policies in order to promote business development while creating demand for housing units in the Philippines. Such efforts help in building sustained growth and progress, hence making the economy more dynamic and beneficial for businesses this coming year.

Since Metro Manila stays on top of the Prime Global Cities Index, the real estate market also remains resilient, especially the residential developments. Due to the limited supply, price growth is continuously driven by demand. Going back to the positive effects of Trump's presidency, the Philippine-United States relations are seen to have a huge benefit in terms of business strategies. With the international trade policies implemented under Trump admin and the CREATE MORE act, the manufacturing and industrial sectors are expected to benefit and prosper.

Strengthening the Philippine-US Relations

Strategically, the US is showing strong support for the Philippines as a treaty ally. This brings a positive impact on the country’s economic development, particularly in terms of business, trading, and defense. SKF deems that the solid US-Philippine relationship is key to the betterment of Filipinos seeking growth in real estate and other industries. This strong alliance has been there since, but boththe  Trump and Marcos administrations are making it even more relevant in today’s economy.

Meanwhile, in the US, President Trump promised to lower mortgage rates and make homeownership affordable to address the housing shortage. Policies such as lower taxes, deregulation or less red tape, and infrastructure investments will make the housing market more affordable for home buyers. Buying a home in 2025, however, can be a wise decision if you are in a good financial position and understand the current market.
