Hi
Saw a walk-up apartment at Haig rd. Small development and has only 9 units in total. They are asking for $850psf. Total space about 784sqft The place is relatively old as well. So i may need to pump in $20-25k for renovation before staying in. My questions are :
i) Is the unit worth the $?
ii) Is it true that it would be more difficult to sell walk-up apts in the future?
iii) The yield/investment value of walk-ups is low and not an investment asset?

Thanks.

Hi Gie,

i)
Drop me a mail with the unit that you are referring to and I will tell you if $850psf is worth it. But the average psf for that area should be about 600psf-700psf

ii)
Walk up apartments are outdated and families with older people do not want to climb up and down to access their homes. Most people buy those apartments for their collective sale potential. But they are still generally considered as high risk investments.

iii)
As mentioned above, you will be banking on a collective sale potential, based on land area + surrounding units as well as locality. E.g. a situation like this might happen = pastoral view + OCBC trying to sell their land to boost response.

Anyway, you can contact me via mail or sms if you are looking out for advice.

Cheers,
