Boon Keng due to its proximity to city and being newer has strong demand and thus still commanding COV at the moment. However, one should note that HDB is going towards negotiation using transacted pricing as a gauge. In the short run, prices should more or less be in stabilised stage. As such, even if there is appreciation in pricing, the appreciation is marginal. If you are eligible to buy EC, do give them a consideration as they provide a much higher return in the future. Do give me a call @ 81613790  or email me at propnex@me.com if you would like more information of the ECs that we are marketing now.

Hi Eric, It is relatively difficult to answer your question, given that Boon Keng area has traditionally been highly sought after due to its location on the immediate fringe of city. Majority of units in this area are getting on in years with handful of newer blocks. If you are targeting the newer blocks, I would estimate that prices should still see a healthy grow if we consider for period of another 10 years but if you are considering the older blocks, I would say their value will likely be more stagnant due to the age of these properties. In all honesty, I highly doubt that HDB is not a good tool to be used for rental investment upon TOP as prices are still considered high even though it has stabilised recently. I supposed there could be better options when it comes to investment returns available in other forms?

Hi Eric, With government plans to move commercial activities out from city area, especially with the setting up of CBP and IBP, we are seeing tenants whose work location shift away from city area. In such cases, tenant pool with requirements to stay near city drops, given that cost of living near city is usually higher. Assume your rental of 3 bedrooms HDB can be $3000, tenants are likelier to pay $200 more to enjoy the facilities given in a condo settings slightly further away from city while the costs of living is likely to be lower which is very likely to offset the differences paid in rental. Bear in mind that HDB being controlled by the government does not have the same potential to appreciate in value as compared to a privatised EC, and with the ageing of HDB going on, it is going to be even less appealing to future buyers.
