Asked by
I have a unit at Windy Heights. Proper Guru provides a valuation of at least 2.6m. However, the Edge Property and SRX only values the property as 2.1m and 2.03m respectively, difference is as much as 500K!
The current asking price for similar units in the market seems to hover around 2.1m. Am I right to say that the Property Guru valuation reflects the potential worth of a property at its upturn whereas the Edge Property and SRX valuations are just a reflection of current market sentiments based on recent transacted prices?

Hi,

Valuation tools used by the different companies varies resulting in the difference in valuation amount. Do note that these valuation are just an indicative. Other factors like high/low floor, renovation, facing etc are contributing factors as well. To get a more accurate valuation, we need to get banker/valuer.

I am a resident agent in the EAST. Do contact me if you need further assistance.

Cheers,

Hi, I would think that for valuation wise, the best will be going for the banker cos the loan will come from their side in the first place. And it is usually more accurate. Pls feel free to let me know if you need any banker's contact or any other assistance.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

I my opinion, it is better to get an indicative valuation for the fair valuation of your place before putting it in the market. There are certain limitations that The Edge Fair Value and other valuation tools that are available online. Ultimately, the buyer who buys your place will need to get a valuation from one of the banks for the loan and therefore a bank indicative valuation is a more reflective value.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can find out the bank indicative valuation for your place!

Dear sir,

Indicative valuation basically is only an indication. The true value of a property lies in how much a potential buyer is ready to offer for your unit. I am aware that size of all units in Windy Heights are the same, where main differences lies with its orientation (highway facing, pool facing or landed facing) as well as its conditions. Indicative valuation does not take into considerations some of the attributes which buyers prefer.

Imagine the pool of ready buyers for Windy Heights is about 2 or 3 of them, but there are currently 10 units in Windy Heights available for sale, what could the potential of pricing that buyer is willing to offer versus if there are 10 interested buyers over 3 units available for sale in Windy Heights?

Market behaviour wise, most buyers will rely to refering to the recent transactions within the development to make an offer (most times lower than last transacted), which I am pretty sure if you are in the buyer position today, you are likely to decide based on such statistics.

Sales of a property is not only about pricing it around valuation, but it involves understanding about the dynamics of marketing, sales pitching, negotiating and positioning.

Speak to a consultant to find out more about such dynamics unless you are only looking for an agent to sell. There is definitely a difference to the entire process between these 2.

Hi,

The indicative valuation tools provide just indicative estimates that should be taken as such, as an indicative reference. Many aspects such as the unit condition, facing, supply of units for sale currently in same project, supply of buyer pool actively viewing cannot be captured hence I feel you need not be too concerned about the figures. To have an idea how they arrive at the figures, you might want to call in to check out their methodology or online if they have published. My guess is a large part of it is adapting comparable transaction figures in the vicinity and condo itself.

For private resale, the valuer is required to give an opinion for the buyer's bank loan application. Getting their opinion arguably helps but I have also gotten differing values for the same property I marketed while making different enquries over the phone with different bank panel valuers.

If you wish to have a peace of mind before commencing any marketing, the best option is to spend a fee to conduct a proper physical valuation by a professional licensed valuer. The cost is insignificant versus the potential mis-pricing of property. Hope this value-adds to the discussion.

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,
