Hi, indeed there is an upward trend for HDB transactions so far for HDB, and there is quite an interest in the market for HDB recently. This will depend on your needs in the recent time, selling now will ensure that the price is what you see in the current market and not be a big fluctuation, as we can't predict the market situation in two years time, the resale price could go up, or go down. As HDB transactions might take awhile to go through, if you plan to free up more cash or accrue lesser CPF interest(if you paid using CPF), now might be a good time to sell, so you can plan more with the freed up cash flow.

Hi, hopefully you managed to get your doubt or query answered. If so, then congrats! Hopefully you are doing well now.

Hi,
Suggest you wait till you get the keys to your new flat before you sell. This will maximise your gain. Also, you should continue to rent the unit and make some monies for the next two years.

Please contact me so that I can be of further assistance.
Cheers!

Hi,

Do you mean your 4room at Jalan Membina is currently rented out for recurring rental income? If so, suggest to sell 2 years later as generally hdb resale prices are still resilient and increasing gradually, and you also get to enjoy rental income for the next 2 years before the new 2-room is ready.

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395  for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends.

-- HDB Toa Payoh 5-RM Sellers of Million-Dollar HDB, Mr. & Mrs Leong

We were fortunate to have met Ivan Ng. He was thorough in going through what the complicated home-selling process required of us and more so in understanding what we would like to achieve from the sale of our unit. His responsiveness and assurance, was a trait that we really appreciate. We managed to secure a sale that exceeded our expectation with Ivan’s advises. The offered price for our unit was a record set for the flats in the neighborhood. This was definitely supported by the fact that Ivan’s listing of our unit was detailed and stood out from other listings. Because of this, we also engaged Ivan's service to help us search and buy our new resale home. After some searches and viewings, we managed to secure one at a reasonable price with his help. With Ivan’s cheery and positive demeanour, selling our unit to procuring a new one, was a smooth journey for us. It was a pleasure to have worked with him. Read More

Dear sir/mdm,

Can I just confirm that you are the landlord for this flat at Jln Membina? The decision to sell or renew the lease is deeply hinged to the balance tenure of the unit as well as the current rental you are receiving monthly.

As we have witnessed, despite negative social economic factors over the years, prices of most if not all real estate segments in Singapore are still on the upward trend. The key here is when you sell now, what are you going to use the funds for and do you require to channel these funds to your new BTO unit?

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by
your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several
agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling
the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole
dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a
trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would
gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation
should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and
looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will
certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our
neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed
potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the
process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very
thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and
recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--

Yvonne (New launch buyer)

--Appreciate Jenny's clear and prompt communication style with us and other stakeholders. She was
also patient and client-centered throughout the process of finding a home that met our criteria. As a
first-time home buyer, we appreciate how she went out of her way to explain the process and
answer questions we had--

Whether you should renew the rental on your 4-room flat at Jalan Membina or sell it depends on several factors, including your financial goals, risk tolerance, and the specifics of your situation. Let's weigh the pros and cons of each option:

**Renewing the Rental:**

* **Pros:**
* **Steady Income:** Continues to provide rental income, which can help offset expenses or contribute to savings.
* **Flexibility:** You maintain flexibility as you await the completion of your 2-room flat.
* **Potential for appreciation:** If property values continue to rise, your flat's value may increase further.

* **Cons:**
* **Opportunity Cost:** You might miss out on potential gains from selling now in a rising market.
* **Tenant Management:** Dealing with tenants and property maintenance can be time-consuming.
* **Limited Control:** You have less control over the property while it's rented out.

**Selling the Flat:**

* **Pros:**
* **Capitalize on Market:** You can potentially sell at a good price in the current upward trend.
* **Free Up Capital:** The sale proceeds can be used for the new flat or other investments.
* **No Tenant Hassles:** You no longer have to manage tenants or worry about property maintenance.

* **Cons:**
* **Loss of Rental Income:** You lose the steady rental income.
* **Finding Alternative Accommodation:** You'll need to find another place to stay for two years until your new flat is ready.
* **Potential for Market Changes:** There's no guarantee that the market will continue to rise.

**Additional Considerations:**

* **Current Rental Yield:** Evaluate the rental yield you're getting from your 4-room flat. If it's low, selling might be more beneficial.
* **Financial Situation:** Assess your financial position and your ability to handle two properties (if you buy before selling).
* **Risk Tolerance:** Consider your comfort level with market fluctuations and potential price changes.
* **Emotional Attachment:** If you have strong emotional ties to the flat, it might influence your decision.

**Recommendation:**

Ultimately, the best decision depends on your individual priorities and financial goals.

* If you prioritize financial stability and steady income, renewing the rental might be a good option.
* If you're comfortable with some risk and want to capitalize on the market, selling might be more advantageous.
