‘Upper Middle-market’ Segment

Between the low mid and high-income segments lies the upper middle-income segment, an important demographic of the real estate landscape in the Philippines. Overall, middle-income earners comprise more than half of the population.

This bracket is further divided into lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income segments. As such, there are also varying aspirations within this demographic when it comes to homebuying. However, there is one recurring theme—a balance between comfort, financial prudence, and a touch of luxury.

Overall, upper middle-income homebuyers aspire to reside in comfortable living spaces with modern amenities and well-thought-out designs. Much like their counterparts in the value-priced segment, middle-income individuals view homeownership as a path to financial stability. For them, these are long-term investments with potential for appreciation.
