Use the rental yield method
Calculate gross rental yield: (annual rent / property price) × 100. A target of 5–7% is healthy in Metro Manila. Use the ROI calculator on this site to estimate.
Check comparable listings
Browse similar units in the same neighborhood — same size, similar amenities, same condition. Aim to price within 5% of the median for fastest occupancy.
Adjust for demand and seasonality
Demand peaks in May–August (academic year) and December (holidays). You can typically charge a premium of 5–10% during peak season.
Account for amenities and condition
Furnished units command 15–25% more rent. New units, premium views, and proximity to BGC/Makati can add another 10–20%.
Quick Tips
- ★ Don't overprice — vacancy is more expensive than a slightly lower rent.
- ★ Offer flexible lease terms to attract long-term tenants.
- ★ Update photos and listing description every 6 months.
