Price per Sqm Calculator (Philippines)
Price per sqm is the cleanest comparison metric in Philippine real estate. Divide property price by floor area to normalize listings across sizes. Benchmark the result against BIR Zonal Value (government-set minimum) and recent comparables in the same building or village. In Metro Manila, mid-tier condos typically run ₱150K-400K/sqm; luxury condos ₱400K-800K/sqm; ultra-luxury (Park Terraces, Aurelia) exceeds ₱1M/sqm.

Price per sqm benchmarks against BIR Zonal Value (the government-set minimum) signal undervalued or overvalued listings. Premium villages typically price 30-200% above zonal.
Frequently asked questions
What is price per sqm and why does it matter?
Price per sqm normalizes property prices regardless of size, making it the cleanest way to compare listings, neighborhoods, or developments. It is the dominant metric brokers and investors use in the Philippines.
What is a typical price per sqm in Metro Manila?
Metro Manila condo prices in 2026 range roughly ₱150,000–₱400,000/sqm for mid-to-upscale, ₱400,000–₱800,000/sqm for luxury (BGC, Rockwell, Salcedo), and ₱800,000+/sqm for ultra-luxury (Park Terraces, Aurelia, Discovery Primea). Houses in premier villages like Forbes Park can exceed ₱500,000/sqm based on lot.
How does this compare to BIR Zonal Value?
BIR Zonal Value is the government-set minimum used for tax computation. Market prices typically run 30–200% above zonal value in premium areas; flat-rate or undervalued listings often sit at or below zonal.
Should I always pick the lowest ₱/sqm?
No. Lower price per sqm often reflects older buildings, distance from CBDs, or limited amenities. Compare within the same building / village / neighborhood to get a meaningful benchmark.
Can I use this to spot undervalued listings?
Yes — calculate ₱/sqm, then compare to BIR Zonal Value (use Housal's Find Zonal Value tool) and to recent sold comparables in the same building or village.
