Plumera Residences Mactan offers affordable, finished studio and one‑bedroom units in a secure community with pools, clubhouse, retail area, and 24/7 backup power. This guide walks you through the exact buying process – including real payment figures for Pag‑IBIG and bank financing.
Step 1: Choose Your Unit – Studio or 1‑Bedroom
Feature: Studio – Floor area 24 sqm, Layout Living, dining, kitchen, bed area, 1 T&B, Total price ₱3,568,000, License to Sell 2133; 1-Bedroom – Floor area 36 sqm, Layout Living, dining, kitchen, separate bedroom, 1 T&B, Total price ₱5,467,000, License to Sell 2133, 2134, 2135. Both units are finished (not bare shell) and RFO – you can move in immediately after full payment or loan approval.
Step 2: Pay the Reservation Fee
Regardless of which unit you choose:
Reservation fee: ₱25,000
Fully deductible from your down payment (equity)
Paid to Johndorf Ventures or a licensed agent
You sign a Reservation Agreement
✅ The ₱25,000 secures your specific unit and takes it off the market.
Step 3: Understand Your Payment Scheme
Plumera offers different financing paths. Choose the one that fits your budget.
Option A: Studio Unit – Pag‑IBIG Financing
Total price: ₱3,568,000. Down payment (20% equity): ₱511,000. Monthly equity (24 months): ₱21,292. Loanable amount (80%): ₱3,032,000. Monthly amortization (Pag‑IBIG): Term and monthly: 30 yrs: ₱18,178; 25 yrs: ₱19,535; 20 yrs: ₱21,722; 15 yrs: ₱25,586; 10 yrs: ₱33,661; 5 yrs: ₱58,617.
Option B: Studio Unit – Bank Financing
Total price: ₱3,568,000. Down payment (5% equity): ₱178,400. Monthly equity (24 months): ₱7,433. Loanable amount (95%): ₱3,364,600. Monthly amortization (Bank, est. 7‑8%): Term and monthly: 20 yrs: ₱24,105; 15 yrs: ₱28,392; 10 yrs: ₱37,354; 5 yrs: ₱65,047.
Option C: 1‑Bedroom Unit – Bank Financing Only
Total price: ₱5,467,000. Down payment (flat equity): ₱100,000 + ₱25,000 reservation = ₱125,000 total. Monthly equity (4 months): ₱25,000. Loanable amount: ₱5,342,000. Monthly amortization (Bank): Term and monthly: 20 yrs: ₱38,272; 15 yrs: ₱45,079; 10 yrs: ₱59,307; 5 yrs: ₱103,276.
💡 The 1‑bedroom requires a much shorter equity period (4 months) but higher monthly amortization because of the larger loan.
Step 4: Compare Your Monthly Cash Flow
Before you decide, calculate your total monthly housing cost after loan approval: For Studio (Pag‑IBIG, 20 yrs): Amortization ₱21,722, Condo dues (₱70/sqm) ₱1,680, Insurance (est.) ₱500, Total monthly ~₱23,900. For Studio (Bank, 20 yrs): Amortization ₱24,105, Condo dues ₱1,680, Insurance ₱500, Total monthly ~₱26,300. For 1‑Bedroom (Bank, 20 yrs): Amortization ₱38,272, Condo dues (₱70/sqm) ₱2,520, Insurance (est.) ₱800, Total monthly ~₱41,600. Also factor in the equity payment period (24 months for studio, 4 months for 1‑bedroom).
Step 5: Sign the Contract to Sell (CTS)
Once you’ve chosen a unit and payment scheme, you’ll sign a Contract to Sell with Johndorf Ventures.
License to Sell: Verify with DHSUD – Studio: #2133; 1‑Bedroom: #2133, 2134, 2135.
Turnover: RFO – the unit is ready.
Condo dues: ₱70 per square meter per month (₱1,680 for studio, ₱2,520 for 1‑bedroom).
Have a lawyer review the CTS, especially the turnover date, penalties for delay, and refund policy under the Maceda Law.
Step 6: Process Your Loan
For Pag‑IBIG (studio only):
Must have 24 monthly savings.
Submit: proof of income, employment certificate, CTS, developer’s documents.
Processing: 1–2 months.
For Bank Financing (studio or 1‑bedroom):
Prepare: 6–12 months payslips, ITR, bank statements, employment certificate.
Accredited banks: Ask your agent for Johndorf’s partner banks.
Processing: 2–4 weeks.
📌 Get pre‑approved before paying the full equity to avoid delays.
Step 7: Turnover and Move‑In
Because all units are RFO, the process is fast:
Developer issues a Notice of Turnover after full equity payment and loan release.
Schedule a joint inspection of your unit – check finishes, plumbing, electrical, windows.
Sign the Acceptance Certificate (note any defects for warranty repair).
Pay advance condo dues (typically 1–2 months).
Receive keys and access cards.
🗝️ The Condominium Certificate of Title (CCT) will be transferred to your name within 3–6 months after full payment.

Adult and kids swimming pools
Multi‑purpose clubhouse
Retail/commercial area
24/7 security + perimeter fence
