Real Estate Appraisal in Makati
Makati remains the country’s financial centre, and its property market carries the widest premium in the metro. The CBD’s condos and offices, the legacy gated villages around it, the Rockwell and Poblacion districts, and the dense working neighbourhoods toward EDSA and the Pasig River each move on their own logic. Almeda Realty and Appraisal Services values property across all of them. Every report carries the signature of Jose Dante Almeda Jr., a real estate appraiser and broker licensed by the PRC (License No. 11261).

The financial centre, priced district by district
The Makati CBD, Salcedo and Legaspi Villages, holds the deepest condo and office market in the country, ringed by the premium residential villages: Bel-Air, San Lorenzo, Urdaneta, Dasmariñas, and Forbes Park. Rockwell and a gentrifying Poblacion add two more distinct sub-markets. North and west of the CBD, San Antonio, Pio del Pilar, Bangkal, and Guadalupe carry dense mid-market housing and commercial strips. Note that the recent boundary ruling moved the EMBO barangays to Taguig, so we verify current jurisdiction where it applies.

What moves a Makati valuation
Makati is several markets wearing one name. CBD condos price on building, floor, and rental depth; village lots price on the village itself, where scarcity does the heavy lifting; Poblacion prices on its hospitality economy. Office and retail follow corporate demand. The gap between a village lot and a street-facing lot a hundred metres outside the gates is enormous, so we compare strictly within the same sub-market, and where the EMBO boundary ruling applies, we confirm jurisdiction before anything else.

Why clients commission a Makati appraisal
How much a Makati appraisal costs, and how long it takes
There is no flat rate. The fee depends on the property type, its size and value, and what the report is for, so we quote per property once we know the basics. A Makati CBD condo is a different job from a village house in Forbes or a commercial floor on Ayala. What we can commit to is the timeline: for most condos and homes we inspect within a few days of your go-ahead and deliver the signed report about five to seven business days after the visit. If a bank or court deadline is tight, tell us the date and we will say honestly whether we can meet it.
Full appraisal vs. desk appraisal
On-site inspection plus a formal, signed report. This is what banks, the BIR, and courts require, for loans, estate settlement, and legal matters. Recommended for anything official.
An indicative value from market data and documents, with no site visit. Useful for an early pricing decision or a quick read before you commit.

Makati appraisal questions, answered
Do you appraise condos in the Makati CBD?
Yes. Salcedo, Legaspi, and Ayala-corridor units are priced against recent sales in the same or directly comparable towers, with rental depth and building standing weighed in.
Can you value homes inside the gated villages?
We can. Village lots trade on scarcity and the village’s own sales record, so we compare strictly within the village rather than against anything outside the gates.
How is Poblacion valued given its nightlife and hotel scene?
Poblacion prices on its hospitality economy. We weigh rental and commercial evidence alongside sales, since many buyers there are underwriting income, not just a home.
Does the Makati-Taguig boundary ruling affect appraisals?
For the affected EMBO barangays, jurisdiction has moved to Taguig, so we verify the current LGU and matching tax records before finalising any report there.
How quickly can you inspect a property in Makati?
Via the Skyway the CBD is an easy run from our Imus base, so inspections are usually scheduled within days and reports released in about a week.
