Developers turn to government housing program amid condo slump
Facing soft condo demand and elevated borrowing costs, more developers are enrolling their unsold inventory in the government's Expanded 4PH housing initiative. The strategy aims to convert stalled condo stock into accessible homeownership opportunities for Filipino buyers who might otherwise be priced out. This shift comes as the industry looks for ways to stabilize sales without waiting for a broader market recovery. The trend was highlighted around the launch of the 2nd National Housing Expo 2026, organized by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development alongside the Pag-IBIG Fund, which is positioning the 4PH program as a bridge between oversupplied developers and underserved homebuyers. According to Daily Tribune, this growing collaboration between private builders and the government could help ease the condo glut while widening access to affordable housing.
