Vista Land Makes Homeownership Easy for Filipinos Nationwide with MOVE

For close to fifty years, Camella has been creating  excellent offerings and experiences for its residents and delivering excellent long-term investment returns for its stakeholders.

The Philippines’ leading integrated property developer, Vista Land, continues to bring the lifelong dream of homeownership to many Filipinos across the archipelago with its MOVE Program. True to its meaning of Making Ownership at Vista Land Easy, its objectives are to streamline the purchase process of select ready-for-occupancy (RFO) house and lot developments and condominium properties in 47 provinces and 149 cities and municipalities and encourage stronger affinity from prospective homeowners in a competitive market.

Dream communities in Cavite

Industry experts have observed that favorable macroeconomic conditions create a conducive environment for real estate investments, with key drivers such as interest reductions, a growing pool of skilled workforce, and increasing disposable incomes bolstering growth in the residential sector. The transition toward secondary cities and suburban areas—driven by the surge of hybrid work, a preference to settle in safer environments, and improved infrastructure—has redefined homeownership priorities among young professionals, growing families, and Overseas Filipinos (OFs). The demand for RFO properties has gained traction due to their immediate availability, addressing the needs of these evolving demographics.

Vista Land solidifies its role as a trusted leader in the industry by strategically anticipating and adapting to consumer demands and delivering high-quality, secure, and comfortable living spaces. By building master planned developments, horizontal properties, and vertical residences in prime locations and emerging cities, that seamlessly integrate retail, commercial, educational, and lifestyle components, the company enhances residents’ quality of life while contributing to sustainable national development for future generations.

With a current land bank of more than 3,000 hectares, Vista Land remains dedicated to building thriving communities in growth areas, redefining landscapes and setting new standards for living in the decades to come.

This Vista Land exclusive will run for a limited time only. Terms and conditions apply.

Special Considerations for Buying an Older House

Your residence is your castle and when you’re on the hunt, you want to find a place you’ll love coming home to. You also want a property that meets your criteria when it comes to price, location and features. Sometimes you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, but with some time, treasure and energy invested, an older house can fit the bill. Here are things to consider.

Do Your Research

Whether you’re looking at a fixer-upper or a place that appears to be in great shape, it’s important to do your research. Older structures may have issues that are readily apparent such as a sagging roof, while others may require more inspection to detect foundation problems. A detailed, thorough home inspection should be a part of any purchase, but special care should be given for an older building.

Watch for Historic Structures

An older house that is deemed as a historic structure may be subject to special regulations when it comes to renovations. For example, you may not be able to add extensions to such a house. You might be restricted to restorations to the original architecture instead of making changes. If this is the case, make sure you have a clear idea of what you can and cannot do, and look for experienced providers of restoration and interior painting services Lititz PA for service and guidance.

Count the Costs

Often a fixer-upper comes at a lower price point than comparable homes that are in better shape. It’s important to run the numbers. What you save when purchasing may be lost when it’s time to pay for necessary repairs. The cost to make a place livable may be prohibitive when added to the listing price. Remember to consider that older buildings may also have significantly higher utility bills that cancel savings.

Finding the right place can be a challenge. Often, an older house may be the best option when it comes to must-haves. It’s important that you plan and investigate thoroughly to make sure that older home is the right move.

How to Prepare for the First Night in a New House

After you have settled all the paperwork at Halton Real Estate to get your keys, you are now ready to move into your new house. It is the most exciting feeling in the world after years of renting.

However, do not let the arduous packing and unpacking of boxes dampen your spirit. It is not going to be easy. But let me share some tips to lighten up your burden and enjoy your first night in the new house.  

If you have moving experience, you are likely familiar with the checklist. But for those moving into the new house for the first time, this one’s for you.

Clothes

Do not put everything in moving boxes. Pack a day worth of clothes, undies, and sleepwear. It lessens the hassle of searching through the boxes looking for incompatible items.

If you have young kids, you better pack a separate bag for them. Do not forget their favorite toys and jammies to make them comfortable for the night.

Food and Snacks Stash

Pack easy to prepare food, canned goods, and non-perishable snacks and place them in insulated containers. Prepare sandwiches ahead of time. You can do this the night before or in the morning. You do not have to inconvenience yourself by cooking when you are too tired the whole day.

Carefully pack food, formula, vitamins, and snacks for your little ones.

Do not forget to bring bottled water as well.

Toiletries and Other Home Essentials

Next to your bag of clothes is an essential box for your toiletries. It contains your toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner, comb, lotion, mouthwash, and razor. Bring a towel for each family member.

Bring sheets and pillow for the beds. If the bedroom is not ready yet, a folding bed or foldable mattress will do for the night.

Keep separate containers for kitchen utensils (paper plates, utensils, cups, can opener) and cleaning supplies like trash bags, laundry detergents.

Pack toys for the young ones and food for your pets if you have one.

First Aid Kit

No matter how careful you are, minor accidents or bumps from lifting boxes or maneuvering furniture is unavoidable. Place your first aid kit within reach. Have some bandages and disinfectants. It would be a tiresome day, do not forget to include a pain reliever for head and muscle aches in your bag. Place them along with other medicines and vitamins that you are taking.  

Important Documents

This one should come in handy. Important documents such as birth certificates, Social Security cards, passports, checkbooks, life insurance, and employment records should be in separate folders within a file box.

Label all your bags, boxes, and luggage with markers so you can easily find them when you need to check on something.

Load the essentials last, so they come off first in the moving van. You can load them in your car if there’s space so it won’t mix with other big boxes.

Your handheld bag can easily fit in phone chargers, pen and paper, markers, and cash.

Enjoy the Night

Moving is so stressful and tiresome. Why not enjoy the night with your loved ones and celebrate.  

It is your time to relax and recharge. Forget about the boxes scattered everywhere in the meantime. Let the unpacking starts the next day.

Have some food delivered to your house or eat out. Prepare your favorite drinks to share with everyone. If you do not have cable yet, play a game with your family.

Enjoy me-time by reading books.

If you are adventurous enough, go for a walk in the neighborhood to familiarize yourself with the area. Maybe you can meet and introduce yourself to new neighbors.

After unloading your necessities and settled in, it is time to enjoy your new house. Cheers!
