Millennials have been observed to search for condominiums online, which has been attributed to them entering their prime years of home buying and wanting to live near where they work. However, moving into a new home is a big step that requires advanced preparation logistically, financially, and emotionally. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinding your first home can be daunting.\nThere should be no risk of regrets. This is why we have been extremely\nthoughtful in designing Sierra Valley Gardens such that it caters to modern\nneeds and aspirations – from installing upgraded smart home facilities, a WFH\nnook in our units, to providing abundant green spaces and a multitude of\namenities for young professionals to enjoy,\u201d<\/em> saysRLC\nResidences\u2019 Senior Director, Marketing Head and Chief Integration Officer Karen\nCesario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help millennials kickstart their homebuying journey, RLC Residences shares a few things that aspiring homeowners should consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1.\nScheduling the move-out date<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving out is not easy and it can\ntake a long time to ensure that the new place is clean and ready for occupancy,\npacking belongings, buying new furniture and appliances, and securing permits\nand documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyers of the newly launched fourth\nbuilding of Sierra Valley Gardens in Cainta, Rizal still have a lot of time to\nplan their moving out process as the target turnover date is still on 2028.\nThis also means that they have time to learn more adulting stuff like cooking,\ndoing laundry, and budgeting before doing the big move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2.\nEmotionally preparing your family<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, Filipino families are\nvery close to each other. There is a need to emotionally prepare yourself, your\nparents, and siblings when deciding to leave the family home. Do allot an ample\ntime to share and explain your big move to your family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A way to make \u2018the talk\u2019 lighter is\nto assure them that you will still visit often and they, too, can come to your\nplace anytime. For future residents of Sierra Valley Gardens, family time can\nmean taking a dip at the lap pool, playing basketball at the Multi-purpose\ncourt or game room, or simply catching up at the property\u2019s cozy lounge area in\nthe 3-level Clubhouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3.\nBuilding a budget<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important ingredient in solo\nliving is budgeting. This makes sure that homeowners are not spending more than\nthey\u2019re earning so they can stay on top of daily and monthly expenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of monthly amortizations,\nSierra Valley Gardens has flexible payment schemes so millennials can pay with\nease. For the new fourth building, RLC Residences is also offering a 5% launch\ndiscount so future homeowners can buy their dream home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4.\nEstablishing eating habits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A benefit of living with the family\nis that eating is easier. It\u2019s either they are served meals or ingredients are\nreadily available. Moving out means crafting your own menu, learning recipes,\nand visiting the grocery to buy ingredients and other essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located within a destination\nestate, Sierra Valley Gardens has easy access to the upcoming mall and to now\nopen retail stores and restaurants within the area. Also, future residents will\nfind living here comfortable given its direct access to Ortigas Ave. Extension\nshould they need to go outside the estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5.\nKeeping an administration and maintenance directory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to have a directory\nof service providers like hospitals and police and fire stations in case of\nemergencies. Condominium dwellers are also advised to have a directory of administration\nand maintenance offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoving\nout, especially for young Filipinos, is not an easy undertaking. It takes a lot\nof guts and planning to push it through. That is why the decision to do so\nneeds to be a smart move,\u201d<\/em> shares\nCesario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
