Good afternoon Gum Goh,

Typically a 2BR unit has better resale value as it works for various buyer plans, be it singles, small families or investors, and thus the buyer pool and demand is inherently larger. For Queensway area, the tenant pool comes from one-North, science park and CBD area commercial nodes, they tend to be working professionals and you can rent out to 2 individual working professionals or even a young couple.

There aren't many new launch condos in Queensway area with 1 or 2 bedroom units available except Stirling Residences or Margaret Ville. May I know if you have seen them yet?

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Hi there,

Thank you for your query!
For investment , of course location plays a huge part in consideration. But above and beyond we cannot negate the other factors - the amenities (distance to amenities), accessibility (how well connected the development is to town/ MRT etc), rentability (depending on development and unit itself) etc. The real returns of your investment solely depends on the quantum you're investing and your investment objectives (projection in mind)

To be able to guide you , I would require more details on your end , to understand your investment objectives ( capital appreciation and rental yield in mind) as well as churn out a financial report after some calculations. Based on this, I would narrow down what exactly you could focus.At the end of the day your objective is to make money and we are here to advise. Furthermore , I have a complete reel of data that is able to show complete price transaction caveats of each and every development in Singapore as well as projected returns and capital appreciation and this has helped many of my clients in managing and growing their portfolio .

Let's discuss further so that I can propose not just projects but also exact unit layouts which will be highly sought after by investors and tenants likewise. That will be a triumphant to your investment. Furthermore, I will take the opportunity to chart out the sales report & projected returns, offering market insights for your consideration.

Dear sir/madam,

1) How long do you plan to hold on to this investment?

2) Will you be relying on the rental income collected to finance this investment purchase?

3) Have you roughly estimated how many units will be in the secondary market within the next 1-2 years and what is the percentage of units that will be your direct competitor whether for prospective tenants or prospective buyers?

Investment is about managing the risk for returns in value, and some say the higher the risks, the better the returns. It is definitely easy to say which unit type has more demand, however, the profile of such investment can be less applicable for a different profile.

I do not encourage selling for the sake of selling therefore before I always believe it is important to find out more about yourself, your intention and concerns as well as identify how much risk to undertake in an investment opportunity.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years 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 8,500 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my clients’ 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.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

It depends largely on your investment objectives and your comfortable budget. For a 1 bedroom, it is easy to rent out and you will be able to enjoy a slightly higher rental yield. However, when it comes to selling in the future, it may appeal to a smaller pool of buyers as the potential buyers are mainly made up of investors. For a 2 bedroom, although the rental yield is slightly lower but it appeals to a larger group of buyers including those HDB upgraders when you want to sell for a profit.

My client just recently bought a 2 bedroom unit at Stirling Residence for investment. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your objectives and provide you with more informed advice.

Good evening Gum,

usually i will classify investment into two categories:

1) capital appreciation
2) rental yield

Usually smaller unit will have a better rental yield due to their lower entry price compared to bigger units.

But if you are looking at capital appreciation, bigger units will yield you better returns.

If psf up by $100psf for a 441 sqft vs 624 sqft, definitely bigger units will gain more.

I do understand that you are focusing Queensway area, but care to share why there not elsewhere?

Secondly perhaps you can share any other concerns that you have before we get an unit?

When will be a good time to meet up for a chit chat?
