This Valentine’s Day, gift your loved one with something sweeter than chocolates, flowers, or jewelry.
The season of love is often associated with sweet and cheesy stuff. And for many of us, we spend a good few weeks preparing and planning for this moment. We want nothing less for our loved ones, after all. There’s the usual inclination to go for chocolates, flowers, or a romantic dinner. But if you’re looking for something new, these aren’t exactly the perfect gifts to rely on. Instead, why not get your significant other a gift they’ll really remember—something like a house.
Before you dismiss the idea altogether, we have a few arguments in favor of home ownership this Valentine’s Day that might interest you.
Owning a Home is Sweeter than Chocolate
There’s a lot of ways to express your love but perhaps nothing will come closer than owning your own home together as a couple. This is especially true if you are already planning to tie the knot or are in the early stages of your marriage, now beginning to look far ahead into the future of your growing family. Homeownership fortifies your commitment to each other, instills comfort, stability, and cultivates values associated with the family. Unlike overpriced jewelry or other objects that bring joy temporarily like chocolates or roses, a home is something you can both share as you grow your relationship for years to come.
If you’re lucky, it might even be where you would spend your lifetime.
Do You Really Mean Buying a House for Valentine’s Day?
Buying a house on Valentine’s Day might not be that practical for many. But like most gift giving, it’s the thought that counts. Using the holiday as a convenient way to mark your next journey in life is one great way to show your level of commitment, which, is what the holiday is truly about. What we mean is starting the home buying process on the day, rather than actually acquiring a property.
Something as simple as a note that says “let’s buy a home together” or a decorative key that practically states the same thing can be as touching and a good way to get the process rolling. You can even pair it up with a home design magazine or a scrapbook where you could plan your dream home from the ground up.
Start the Journey Together
After the festivities and the celebration, follow up on your Valentine’s Day commitment by searching around for prospective properties. It might seem like a daunting task, but nothing can ever prepare you enough for this undertaking than by starting the search.
To help you kickstart your dream of fulfilling your Valentine’s Day commitment, Lamudi is hosting a housing fair at Trinoma in Quezon City from April 6 to 7, 2019 where some of the country’s top property developers and real estate professionals will showcase their projects to property buyers. This is the first in a series of housing fairs this year that Lamudi, the premier property portal in the Philippines, will host to serve as a platform for property buyers and sellers to converge in order to learn from each other.
This year, the exhibitors are Amiya Raya, Filinvest HRB, Filinvest MRB, Robinsons Communities, SM Development Corp., Grand Monaco Estate Developers, Inc., Aboitiz Land, Inc., Taft Properties, Phinma Properties, Land Registration Authority, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Food Panda, DMCI Homes, Hausland Development Corp., Land Bank of the Philippines, and UnionBank of the Philippines.
The Lamudi Housing Fair at Trinoma is also perfect for first-time homebuyers as it could give you the lowdown and the nitty-gritty aspects on how to go about buying your first home. Like a relationship that has to be continuously worked, buying a home takes a lot of commitment as well.
If you’re not keen on buying a new property, the Lamudi Housing Fair will feature a foreclosure auction during the 2-day event. Plus, home buyers can expect some freebies and exclusive discounts that you won’t find anywhere else when you attend the housing fair this April.
Sounds like the perfect post-Valentine’s Day date, doesn’t it? We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
