Dear prospective buyer,

Not all new launches will make money upon resale as I have personally met a number of home owners who were sold to the idea that new launches will make money, and they are now regretting their decisions, especially for those owners who are relying on rental income to sustain the monthly repayment.

It seems to me that you are looking out for a property that allows you to stay for a start before reselling it and settling down for a resale HDB for the long term. A 1 or 2 bedrooms apartment is decent choice to begin this real estate asset wealth enhancement journey, and no, it is not entirely true that a newly TOP condo is pricier than a brand new project. Such are only marketing and sales gimmicks put up to entice buyers consider new launches as the commission given by developers are more attractive. In addition, the shortlisting process can also be more tedious for resale listings as there could be phishing ads involved.

I always believe that there are better opportunities in the resale market, and it allows the potential buyers make a more informed decision from the physical engagement involved in viewing, where it allows the potential buyers to really see, look and feel before making that decision.

It will be great if we are able to know more about what you are looking out for in order to really do a value added proposal to you for the intended purchase.

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

There are reasons why young couple buy private property. However, there are no statistic to support that young couple buy private property for the same reason as you. Possibly there are a number.

Property is a long term investment. Quite definitely there will not be a hefty profit for the 3 years holding.

It would seems premature to even suggest any recommendation as we will need to know what are your needs and affordability.

You may text 9620 0827  for a casual chat. We can share with you the market trend for private property vs HDB. The transaction process and timeline etc.

Text me and I schedule you in my appointment calendar.

Warmest regards

Hi,

If you were to buy a resale or newly TOP condo, it is quite unlikely that you are able to make a tidy profit after just 3 years of stay in my opinion. This is because with the regulations in the market, prices are increasing at a sustainable pace and you will also need to factor in the purchase cost such as stamp duty and legal fees.

When buying a property, you will also need to take note of the entry price and understand which part of the life cycle the project is at to determine whether you are able to profit from it in the future. I have written a guide on buying Residential Property in Singapore, you may refer to this guide: http://bit.ly/buypropertyguide

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your objectives better and provide you with further assistance.

Hi,

1) Before embark on your house search. It is best you understand how the market works. Different regions have slightly different behavior, for example, CCR, this is a region where more foreigners invest and buy for own stay than other 2 regions.
OCR; mass market, mainly bought by local residents for own stay.

2) There is a life cycle in every property, you also aware that the newly TOP condo tends to be pricer. Have you tried to understand why does this happen?

Lastly, buying a property is one of our major investments in monetary. Thus there is no rushing in. I would suggest you read more if you are reluctant to meet an agent.

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.

Hi,

It is not common that young couples start with condo as their first property. Most young couples start with either a BTO flat, or a resale HDB flat with Grants.

Having said that, I have also met young couples who are financially strong, who are unable to qualify for the Housing Grants due to income ceiling. These are the Buyers who would skip the "HDB as first flat" mindset and go for private from the go.

Most importantly, my advice for young couples would be to purchase something within your comfortable means for your first property. Property investment journey is a marathon, and not a 100-metre race. Financial prudence is crucial should you wish to avoid potential pitfalls and last long in the game. Ultimately, as a young couple, you do have age on your side.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

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,
