Key real estate sectors urged to recalibrate entering into 2026MANILA, Philippines — Key sectors in the real estate market are encouraged to recalibrate to address widening pricing gaps, infrastructure bottlenecks and intensifying global competition, as the industry enters 2026. Leechiu Property Consultants (LPC) said that the residential market remains structurally sound and among the least susceptible to artificial intelligence disruption. The real estate brokerage firm said that a more actively traded secondary market, along with a tapering of primary price increases, is recommended to narrow the disconnect and bring primary–secondary pricing premiums closer to global norms. In terms of retail, LPC said that while traditional mall formats remain effective, evolving consumer behavior calls for more innovative approaches. The country must shift from fragmented sector-specific growth to a unified and sustainable growth pathway,” LPC director of investment sales Tam Angel said.
