Condo Sizes in the Philippines

Size of the average Condo Sizes in the Philippines

You see many adverts for Condos for Sale or Rent in the Philippines.

Condos for Holiday Accommodation can be good, but how suitable are these Condos for normal living. How big or small are they ?

I’ve seen adverts saying “suitable for a family of 4, with a size of 25sqm”
or “Spacious for two people with 24 sqm”

Maybe that works for some people, but I know it is tight for others.

My own last home (Australia) was 210 sqm for two people, and it felt about right, not too big, not too small.
My current accommodation is tight at just 70sqm for two people, but I did stay in a 22 sqm meter unit recently, but just for a few days. Although many families were living in that Condo block very happily.

Why the difference ?

It comes down to what we are used to as we grow up.

The average home sizes in each country will give an indication to how well a person may settle in a certain size condo.

Population of the Philippines 2010 and 1980

Population of the Philippines in 2010 and 1980

The population in the Philippines has almost doubled during they last 30 years, between 1980 and 2010, but the increase has not been an even spread across the country. The Calabarzon region has seen the largest increase, with a change from 4.6 million to 12.6 million population, a 174% increase. The region with the smallest  rise was Eastern Visayas with a change from 2.8 million population up to 4.1 million, a rise of just 47%.

It is estimated that the next 30 years, from 2010 to 2040, will show an increase from 92.3 million to about 141 million or about a 52% increase. This is a much slower rate of population growth than the last 30 years.  IF the population grows at the SAME rate as 1980 to 2010, then the population of the Philippines would reach 177 million by 2040.
