Manila, Philippines–With its name referring to real estate properties in Asia, new property search portal PropertyAsia.ph, alongside its affiliated websites CondoAsia.ph, mostly catering to vertical developments, and HousesAsia.ph, largely dedicated to horizontal developments, takes a proactive role to showcase properties for sale and for rent across the region, which reasonably precedes the ASEAN Economic Community’s rollout of its regional economic integration, also known as the ASEAN Integration, by year-end.

Besides the foreseen economic benefits of the ASEAN Integration—creating 14 million jobs in the next 10 years and improving the livelihood of 600 million people across the region as projected by the International Labour Organization and the Asian Development Bank last year—this economic integration will also benefit the continuous upswing in various real estate markets regionwide.

With a regional mindset, forging alliances in its home base, the Philippines, and in Singapore, PropertyAsia.ph, which first went live last February, is expecting its first 100,000 regional listings by the end of the third quarter of the year, together with a complete line of value-added services such as condominium repair and maintenance, title transfers and land survey, and consultancy for vast tracts of lands and big ticket real properties, among others, setting it apart from other Philippine-based property search portals, which mainly offer local property classifieds.

PropertyAsia.ph Managing Director Joeri Stegeman says, “To realize the goals of the ASEAN Integration, Southeast Asian countries are expected to intensify real estate and construction activities, thus creating a stiffer, but healthier, competition among them. Our websites are created to level the playing field among regional industry players in exposing their properties and global real property seekers to find condominiums, house and lots, and office spaces, among others, that suit their ever-changing needs.”

He adds, “Right now, PropertyAsia.ph only carries Philippine property listings.  But expect a fairly large number of property listings from Singapore soon as we grow our industry partners in the Philippines and in Singapore, and our roster of investors, which includes Crystal Horse Investments Pte Ltd. in Singapore.

With the ASEAN Integration just around the corner, the construction of new malls and retail complexes will eventually translate into an even more potent real estate markets.  There will also be a higher demand for office and residential spaces from more foreign investors. “Strategically, PropertyAsia.ph is at the forefront of these new developments,” says Stegeman. “Supported by an in-house team of developers, our websites strive to be as intuitive and comprehensive as possible by providing our users with only the most relevant and useful information, alongside proper technical solutions and prompt customer support.”
