Hi,

I have a question regarding the property valuation and seller asking price.

The seller is asking 1.35 mil. I've checked around with most of the banks. The highest valuation banks give is 1.2 mil. Does it mean I have to pay the 150k in cash?

Cause the banks are estimating the valuation without my OTP, how much likely the banks could match the price if I sign the OTP and come down to valuate the property in person?

Hi,

$150k is considered as Cash-Over-Value (COV) in your descriptions.
This is not the only cash you will incurred, you will also have to fork out another 5% cash for bank loan, which is another $67,500.
Thus total cash component is at least $217,000.

Even with on-site valuation, the difference between estimated valuation and on-site valuation will not be too far apart, at most is $10k~$20k.
The difference is based on how well the unit maintained and additional of goodwill of 5% based on the renovation cost.

Thus unlikely bank able to match your purchase price.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Hi,

You have to be aware that Bank valuation will always lag the actual market transactions.

Especially in an up-cycle market, it is perfectly normal that units will transact above the Bank valuation. This is the only way for property prices to move up.

Imagine, if all properties were to transact at Bank valuation, how would the prices move up then?

In today's market, because of the market sentiment, we are seeing a lot of resale Sellers asking above Bank valuation. And Buyers are also becoming aware of this situation and some are willing to pay "Cash-Over-Valuation" for a unit that they like.

Imagine this situation, Condo ABC is valued at $1.2m now, but you can get it at $1.3m ($100k COV) today. 6 months down the road because of the prices increase, Bank valuation for the same unit is now at $1.4m. Are you willing to pay $1.4m ($0 COV) even when it can match Bank valuation?

The market today is different from past few years. In today's market, it takes a shrewd buyer to secure their choice units before the rest of the buyers come into the picture. If you think that need assistance on this, you should consider engaging an experienced agent to assist you in your property purchase.

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you and your partner in the current market.

Thank you.
