What is your objective in this purchase and how has these projects capture your attention to bring up for discussion?

If capital growth is what you are looking for, then we will need to look at both the macro and micro factors where past performances of similar homes and neighbourhood is doing. I am sure that for a freehold project to be priced close to an aged 99 years leasehold project, it sounds very attractive, but the question is why will developer priced it as such if they can simply call for a higher pricing?

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 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.

Hi,

May I know the developments you are referring to so I could value add with a more detailed response? If its for personal stay, and both developments have its merits for you, I would be inclined to suggest the freehold development as a better wealth protection platform as its likely 10 years at least before you explore any sale (if any).

By then the leasehold factor will start to play a part in the potential buyer's mindset when he/she makes an offer for your property, which can make it difficult for you to exit higher. Also the building age and maintenance will also play a factor.

Upper changi road developments may also benefit from the future changi aviation hub and cross island developments, as it is nearer to these commercial nodes and future growth areas. Just wondering if you have considered Parc Komo as well?

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,

-- EC Sellers, Private Property Buyers Dr. Chan & Ms. Xie --

I would like to compliment Mr Ivan Ng for his professional work and effort.I sent my first post in Jan 2019 and Ivan replied promptly, so I have decided to contact Ivan for follow up. My EC was not ready for sale due to MOP (another 3 months from Jan) at that time and Ivan was able to give me advices on how to proceed from there. Initially we have decided to try to write to HDB for early sale but since it was only 3 months left, eventually we waited for another 3 months while we looked for our next property. Ivan was able to arrange for new property showroom appointment at a timely manner while helping us to list for our EC for sale. We were a bit worried when our EC sale time was longer than expected due to trade war, but Ivan was able to reassure us that our EC would sell. By November, he managed to secure a buyer for our EC. Thank you.

-- HDB Yishun BTO 5-RM Sellers, Private Property Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Koh --

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan. Read More

Hi,

One man's meat may be another man's poison. Each property will have its own pros and cons. Ultimately, you will have to ask yourself what are your objectives of this purchase, and also what is your plan and expectation going forward?

I suppose the purpose of this purchase is for your own stay? If so, ask yourself which property better suits you and your family's needs?

For example, if you have young children, a bigger development may be more suitable as they get to enjoy the more expansive condo facilities during their early growing-up years. Once they passed that stage where condo facilities are not their "thing" anymore, then perhaps a small boutique development works just fine. This is just one of the many considerations for you to think about. There are many others too.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require 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 in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi,

1) This is a very common dilemma when coming to buying property.
2) It rather looks strange why an older condo with better connectivity and bigger in size is the same price as a freehold property which some of the factors are not as ideal.
3) So you have to understand the property market how it works.
4) Generally, you could expect capital appreciation from a new launch but you can forget about it when you buy a resale.
5) You may ask your friends or you might have come across yourself, that BTO makes a higher profit than resale HDB. Profit in resale HDB if there is any usually can't beat the BTO.
6) If it works the other way round. All BTO when sold at MOP prepare to make a loss and only resale HDB makes a good profit. What will happen? The HDB market will collapse and HDB not going to build any more flats because no one is going to buy BTO.
7) Similar scenario is applicable to the private market. If the developer is selling cheaper than the resale market then the resale property will never have buyers and all people will rush to buy new launches only. The property market will collapse because no one dares to buy a new launch anymore since the property is going to sell cheaper and cheaper.
8) But now not talking about the profit, you must a simple objective in mind and not multiple, because this is how life works.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more query, 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.

Dear Sir/Mdm,
