VI. ALTERNATIVE COURSE OF ACTION

Property A

1. Budget constraint – within the allotted budget.

2. Location – not in “tumbok” and slightly more elevated.

3. Location – exactly 500 sqm.

4. Travel time – within the allotted one-hour travel time

Key factors:
1. Property is available immediately.
2. Properly is well maintained and relatively quiet.
3. Resale value of property is very good.

Property B

1. Budget Constraint – higher price as compared to Property A.

2. Location – no data as to elevation of the place but seemed to be in the same level.

3. Lot size – sits on 500 sqm.

4. Travel Time - within the allotted one-hour travel time

Key factors:

1. Property is on mortgage and will be available at least less than two weeks to come up
with a clean title.
2. Property location in terms of nearness to school and office is good and a little less than
30 minutes and 20 minutes’ travel time.
3. Steady appreciation of the asset with available buyers at time of disposal.

Property C

1. Budget Constraint – within the allotted budget.

2. Location – located on top of the hills and is in “tumbok”

3. Lot size – 650 sqm which is beyond the minimum requirement.

 4. Travel Time – within the allotted one-hour travel time

Key Factors:

1. Title is clean and transfer can be executed with 2 and a half weeks.
2. Property is called rolling hills subdivision due to its many hills and valleys.
3. No significant increase in land value for the past years but due to SM Group
undertaking, land appreciation is expected in the future.

VII. RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended to purchase Property A as compared to other two properties due to

the following reasons:

1. The three properties acquisition cost are all within the budget but it is only Property
A that offers an assured higher selling price if in case Mr. Santos had a sudden
change of plans in the future.
2. Mrs. Santos is very specific of wanting a property that is elevated and among the
three properties, Property A is slightly more elevated and is not “Tumbok” while the
other two properties are either in “Tumbok” or in the same level of elevation.
3. All properties are within the desired lot size which is 500 sqm and al promised higher
appreciation value but property A is readily available once the sale transaction takes
place.
4. The three properties are all subject for possible poor traffic situation in the future
but currently, Property A is well maintained and relatively quite aside as of the
moment which is best recommended for Santos family who wants to move out from
the congested area of Manila.

VIII. CONCLUSION

When choosing a property, the most important is location, since locating can bring up
value of the home or property, and other thing is that location once decided, a property
cannot be changed. Also, the future lies behind that location is an important
consideration. A good neighborhood can be changed through years, and some
neighborhood has a waiting opportunity that could positively changed after a year.
Always remember that location is the greatest consideration in real estates. Location A
offers an increase in value of property due to its closeness in public amenities and
progressive villages.
