Good afternoon,

If the floor space is sufficient for current needs, and there is an available unit with the facing and level that you guys like that meets the budget, I think you guys can consider to go ahead first. A uncertain wait for a 3 bedder means more rental costs, and the 3 bedder is likely to cost more than it will be today when the market sentiment turns better given that it is an integrated development that will always be in demand. When the child is here you may also consider to relocate to nearer other primary schools as some of my clients did, which could mean another project and location and the 3 bedder here may no longer be as appealing as anymore. The 2 bedder is also flexible in the sense that you can keep for rental income or retirement next time.

Regulation policies may also change to make the purchase more challenging next time. Just my 2 cents opinion. 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

Buyers Mr Wang & Ms Ng : We want to convey our thanks to Ivan, who helped us find our first home. Ivan was very responsive when we first met, and took time to understand our needs and requirements for our first home. He helped us narrow down our criteria and gave us good advice on how to structure our mortgage as well. He also made a great recommendation of an area we never thought of, and it was where we eventually bought our home. We appreciate Ivan's thoroughness in pros and cons of all our options that we viewed. We never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision. In fact, Ivan gave honest and useful inputs on the considerations of acting immediately or waiting. All in all, it was a very smooth experience and we ate very happy with the unit we bought. Thank you very much, Ivan!

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

Appreciate your sharing, another way is to rent or view a 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom to compare to have a feel, before you start to plan. Looking forward to serve you at 9696 4398  or email me at stewartlim@hotmail.com

Hi,
It is always good if you can buy the bigger unit as your 1st home. I have never come across someone who has said, glad that I bought a smaller unit. They always say, I am glad I bought the biggest unit that I could afford. Reason is that prices normally rise as the years go by. When you are ready to upgrade, the prices would seem so high that it would normally put people off especially when kids arrive and the bills start to rise.

So, DO IT NOW! The best thing to do is work with an agent like me who gives you the right advice at the right time. As a buyer, you also do not pay me any fees. So, you have nothing to lose and all to gain.

Do contact me directly.
Cheers!

Hi Moose,

This is the issue of supply and demand, especially in the resale market, where it is not necessary that you are able to purchase something as long as you have the funds to do so. First of all, the 3 bedders that comes along should be within your affordability as well as liking. What is something comes up that is outside your liking? I'd say that to purchase a 2 bedder first for your current needs can be a practical approach to starting off the family while you wait out a short period before upgrading when there is a need. If you are trying to time the market due to interest rates, then it could be a different strategy.

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.
