What is the average housing price in Calabarzon in 2026?
The median housing price is more useful than the average housing price in Calabarzon because a few expensive homes in Silang, Tagaytay, Santa Rosa, and coastal Batangas can make the average look higher than what most buyers will actually pay.
We are writing this as of 2026, using the latest data collected from authoritative sources that we manually double checked.
The median housing price in Calabarzon in 2026 is about ₱4.8 million, or about $82,000 and €71,000. The average housing price in Calabarzon in 2026 is about ₱7.5 million, or about $128,000 and €111,000.
For about 80% of residential properties in Calabarzon in 2026, a realistic price range is ₱2.5 million to ₱15 million, or about $43,000 to $256,000 and €37,000 to €222,000.
A realistic entry range in Calabarzon in 2026 is ₱2.2 million to ₱4 million, or about $38,000 to $68,000 and €33,000 to €59,000, which can buy an older 45 to 60 sqm townhouse or a small house-and-lot in Tanza, Trece Martires, or General Trias.

By the way, you will find much more detailed price ranges in our property pack covering the real estate market in Calabarzon.
Sources and methodology: we compared BSP RPPI, BSP RPPI Q2 2025, and live portal prices.
We adjusted official loan-backed prices with 2026 listings from FazWaz, Dot Property, and Housal.
We treated listing prices as asking prices, not final sale prices, so the final estimate is lower than many online medians.
Are Calabarzon property listing prices close to the actual sale price in 2026?
In Calabarzon in 2026, we estimate that actual sale prices are usually 6% to 10% below listing prices, with 8% as a strong central estimate.
This gap exists because many sellers in Cavite, Laguna, Rizal, Batangas, and Quezon leave room for negotiation, especially for resale subdivision houses. The gap varies most for large houses, older homes, and premium listings that stay online for a long time, while small new units from developers often have less room for a lower cash price.
