Buyers value it for liveability and affordability. The barangay shares San Andres's overall market character, shaped by the city's position within Bicol Region (Region V).

Title verification at the local Registry of Deeds is an essential pre-purchase step.

Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
The high flood-risk rating for Alibihaban reflects San Andres's broader situation. Properties near drainage canals, esteros, or low-lying terrain are most exposed. Buyers of upper-floor condominiums or elevated house-and-lot have significantly lower flood exposure — but should still verify that the building itself has not experienced foundation-level flooding.
Transport
Alibihaban residents use tricycles for intra-barangay movement and jeepney or UV Express vans to reach San Andres's commercial and employment centers. Road access from the barangay to San Andres's main arterial road is the key infrastructure factor for buyers evaluating daily commute viability.
Amenities
Basic community amenities in Alibihaban include the barangay health center, covered court, and public elementary school. For secondary education, medical care, groceries, and commercial services, residents travel to San Andres's town center or the nearest urban hub in Catanduanes.
