You seldom find a house this cheap in Woodridge and if you do, they sell very, very fast. Remember that Woodridge is among the most sought-after community by the most savvy real estate investors in Davao.

Take a look quick look at the details and see if you want to consider buying this property.

• Selling Price : P 6.5M (negotiable)
• Lot Area : 205 sqm
• Floor Area: 150 sqm
• Number of Bedrooms: 4
• Number of Bathrooms: 3

This is a two-storey house that was built very recently — some 5 months ago at the time of this writing. The house is ready to use and comes with some furniture and appliances – which ones are included with the purchase depends on the final price agreement after the negotiation; the base price being P 6.5M.

Why Buy This House in Woodridge?

So what makes this house a good buy? Here’s my opinion.

Good Price. If you have been to Woodridge, you know that theirs is no house there selling at that low price of P 6.5M. The price of lot alone is selling at PhP 9,000 / sqm. Some are even more expensive if they are situated in strategic areas like those near along the main road, the subdivision facilities/amenities, in other words, those prime properties. So at 205 sqm lot area, the lot itself is already at PhP 1,845,000.

New House and Good Design. Plus the house is also built beautifully. Please read it again… It’s a new house. There’s not much scratches on the wall or on any parts of the house. You can be sure that the house is in good, functional condition.

Spacious Lawn. If you have a kid or you want to be outside of the house in a relaxing mood, the lawn is the perfect place. The kid will certainly enjoy playing by the lawn with his friends. And you will love it too! Plus, the property is located in an area of the community that is very solemn and with large trees along the road.

Semi-Furnished. The house will be ready to use when you purchase it. Some appliances, furniture, air-condition units will remain there. Only a few items will be kept by the owner. Everything will be discussed once we meet the seller.

Bank Financing Accepted. The owner of the house will consider bank financing. We will help you get a loan from the bank. It would help, of course, if you can visit your bank first and have yourself pre-qualified for a loan. The down payment is PhP 400,000 and you can loan the balance from your bank. Or, you can also pay it at a maximum of two months.

Really, Rush Sale. This is a real rush sale. The owner needs the money immediately. It’s inappropriate to disclose the details here, but I can explain briefly when we meet.

Here are some recently taken photos (in Slideshow) of the property.

Why Buy This House

Price : PhP 3.6M only: This house is currently appraised at PhP 4.2M by the developer — that’s the house and lot alone.

Home Improvements: Gated, fenced, some furniture and appliances. When you buy a new house from the developer (which is not available anymore at the time of this writing) you get a bare house with no fence, gate, landscaping … just a plain, painted house – you have to do some more work to make it livable to your standards.

Good As New: Okay, the owner is living there on that house. But if you decide to buy this house, it will be repainted.

Bank Financing Available: The thing with most home owners in Solariega who are selling their properties is that they only accept Spot Cash payment. No long term bank loans whatsoever… they don’t want to wait. This one is different. You may put 30% down and we’ll help you find a bank where you can loan. Better yet, we suggest that you first shop your favorite banks and get a pre-qualification from them.

Negotiable: This property is negotiable based on who will pay for the following: Capital Gains Tax, Documentary Stamp Tax, Lawyer’s fee, Title Transfer Fee, etc. Depending on the result of the negotiation, the selling price may be adjusted slightly.

Contact Details

Again the selling price is only P 3.6M.

Overview of The Camella NorthPoint

The Residential Condominium is the hottest thing to happen in Davao’s real estate market since the last 3 years. Many people find it very strange for condominiums to sell that good in the city since Davao City has a vast amount of undeveloped land that could easily be turned into a residential subdivision project.

But it happened and Camella Communities, the developer of Solariega and Toscana in Davao, has responded to the demand and developed it’s own condominium project, which turns out to be very unique of its kind in Davao.

The Camella Northpoint is situated in a place that is considered a landmark in Davao City known by old timers as The White House. The White House is ancient home that is very visible when passing through the Buhangin Fly-over. The land on which the White House stands and the whole of the Condominium itself used to be an Abaca Plantation during the time of Japanese Occupation in the Philippines. And the company that used to operate the Abaca Plantation is considered as one of the oldest corporations in the Philippines and still in existing today.

These days, of course, the place is already among the most expensive piece of land in Davao. From a former agricultural land, it has now become a commercial development with seven condominium buildings on the plan.

Condo Living Amenities at Camella Northpoint
