Foreigners are allowed to buy and own residential condominiums in the Philippines covered by a Condominium Certificate of Title registered with the Registry of Deeds.

According to Philippine Tourism Secretary Joseph Durano, "Now is definitely the best time to buy a residential condominium or a house and lot in the country while prices are still relatively lower compared to other Asian countries."
