Hi, I tried to sell my 865sqft The Modules at Joo Chiat at $1400 psf. Despite exclusivity, the agent hasn't get a buyer. The agent requested to lower price to $1,100psf or $935K instead, under a $1.1M. He cited the reasons; SOHO life is TOP. Sycamore Tree developer on adjacent site has lowered their pricing. There are many new unsold units in East Coat going for less than $1,200psf. Banks has tightened -My Duplex is valued by bank at $1million. I was told that price will drop when 80,000 units are released within the next 2 years. Is Joo Chiat a good area? I had heard remarks about it being a sleazy place which makes the general family or investors avoid the area. Recently there was a crack down on vice which makes the place unsafe and am getting disapproval when I told my relatives that I live in JC. Should i hold on to the property until market turn or should i cut my loss before it is too late?

Hi Linda,

Ground floor unit at The Modules 527sqf was sold at $805k for your information, when the bank indicative valuation is a whopping $950k.

With the amount of projects and SOHOs coming up in the pipeline, I must say that it will be beneficial for you to consider selling your unit as it is no longer generating the hype it was generating a few years back.

Do you have alternative accomodation? Perhaps you may wish to rent this unit out at a reasonable amount for investors to consider the sale?

FYI, nearby Gallery 8 @ Pulasan 3 bedrooms was sold at slightly above $1m for 1300+sqf by my team in 2 days of showing.

Market is moving but buyers are savvy with price now and therefore if price is not attractive, they will rather wait until the cow comes home.

If you need any assistance, feel free to contact me further.

    Thanks, one of the buyer make an offer of $880K. Do you think this is too low, considering it is a duplex and a commercial? I will definitely make a loss. At th same time, i am not longer able to pay the MCST fees which are very high as i am about 9 months in arrears.
