Buyers value it for liveability and affordability. The barangay shares San Jose's overall market character, shaped by the city's position within Eastern Visayas (Region VIII). The investment thesis for Aguila tracks San Jose's own market trajectory. house-and-lot units, townhouses, and low-rise condominiums at stable price points are the core asset class, with middle-income families and workers seeking affordable, accessible housing near employment driving occupancy. Buyers with a long-term horizon should evaluate the lot's title, road frontage, and proximity to planned infrastructure.
