83,000 Unsold Metro Manila Condos: Opportunity or Warning?

Are 83,000 unsold Metro Manila condos a buying opportunity—or a warning sign for investors? For Filipinos abroad, OFWs, Global Pinoys, and anyone considering Philippine real estate, a large condo inventory can mean more discounts, longer payment terms, and better negotiating power. But a cheaper condo is not automatically a better investment.
