Local Insights
Practical tips from someone who knows Silang.
CALAX is a Game Changer
The Silang East exit is just 8 minutes from South Forbes. Before CALAX, getting to Alabang was 60-90 minutes. Now it's 30 minutes on a good day. This has driven significant appreciation in the area.
Golf Without the Traffic
South Forbes Golf Club is right here - no need to drive to Tagaytay Highlands or other courses. The 18-hole course designed by IMG is challenging despite being par 67. Non-golfers benefit from the green views and open spaces.
Know Your Tiers
Don't just look at "South Forbes" listings - ask which enclave. Mansions tier (Bali, Tokyo, Phuket, Racha) is PHP 60-80k/sqm with bigger lots. Horizons tier (Villas, Chateaux, Miami, Nirwana) is PHP 29-60k/sqm. Huge price difference for the same "South Forbes" address.
Cathay Land's Track Record
Cathay Land has been developing in Silang since 1994 - over 30 years. They've partnered with Ayala Land on some projects and built Acienda Designer Outlet. This isn't a fly-by-night developer.

Why This Matters
The BIR zonal value is used to compute Documentary Stamp Tax (1.5%) and Capital Gains Tax (6%) when buying property. The tax base is whichever is higher: the selling price or zonal value. This protects you from under-declared transactions but means you can't reduce taxes by negotiating a lower paper price.
