Good morning,

It depends on the price growth trajectory of both developments you have in mind. The trend recently is that the price growth of bigger floor area apartments/condos such as 4 & 5 bedroom units are growing faster than smaller 3 bedroom ones due to owners desire for space as people have more work for home opportunities. It may be a good idea to make the shift if the price of the 4 bedroom development you have in mind will grow faster than your current 3 bedroom development, especially if the 4 bedroom is in a strong demand location with new infrastructure plans in the pipeline.

May I have more info which projects you are referring to so I can share my analysis inputs with you? May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Ivan Ng Realtor

Condo Seller 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. Read More

Hi, appreciate your sharing. Given current situation and lower interest than last year, it is time to consider. Taking time is the factor, the older you are, the less loan you are able to attain. Well, it depends on your plan for next 5 to 10 years.
Looking forward to assist you at 9696 4398  or email me at stewartlim96964398@gmail.com

Hi Sir/Mdm,

In my opinion, it is always a good idea to upgrade to a bigger unit if you are comfortable financially. Your newly TOP 3 bedroom would have earned a tidy amount of profit and you may use the profit to further upgrade. The market has slowed down now and as we expect more owners to be more realistic about their pricing, it would be a good time to upgrade as buyers would have more bargaining power in the current market situation.

Please contact me so that I can understand your concerns and provide you with more informed advice and assistance.

Regards,

What do you read about the market situation to have asked this question?

My common respond to prospective property buyers out there if they are looking out for capital appreciation or at least capital preservation, is to consider their income and age as these are the main factors that will affect their ability to take up a home loan for their property purchase. Whether you are purchasing a 4 bedroom or 2 bedroom unit, your maximum loan tenure is still 30 years, or up to 35 years if you refinance your home loan to stretch out the maximum tenure and reduce the monthly instalment.

At the end of 30 years or 35 years, you will have a fully paid property. By then, would you prefer to be holding on to the bigger property or smaller property, assuming that you have the necessary finances to afford the bigger property? What will put you in a better position in the future in this case?

Perhaps you will have the answer. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, careful considerations are still important for the different units that you are considering as there are various other factors that can affect your purchase decision.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 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.
