When buying and selling real estate properties in the Philippines, the final purchase price is not and should not only be the relevant amount.
Other taxes and fees charged on the transaction must be considered by both the buyer and seller because these costs affect the total transaction price.
The cities of Makati, Tagaytay, and Pasig are the top three cities in the Philippines in terms of per capita income in 2009, while the cities of Bayawan (Negros Oriental), San Fernando (Pampanga), and San Jose Del Monte (Bulacan) are the bottom-dwellers. This is according to a May 2012 report by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB).
