Hi Mdm Tang,

A 1 bedroom unit is ideal for rental and will be able to provide you with a decent yield. However, the capital appreciation is limited. Investors are also shying away from 1 bedroom purchase and therefore developers are also cutting back on 1 bedroom for new launches.

2 or 3 bedroom will be better in the long run for capital appreciation. The resale market has been slow and there is also an oversupply in the 1 bedroom units. Therefore, it is advisable to start the marketing early so that you will be able to receive rental while trying to secure a buyer.

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

Testimonial from my Clients

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent work you have done in managing both the sale and purchase of my condominium.
Throughout the entire process, you demonstrated strong market knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail. Your clear guidance at each stage — from pricing strategy and marketing, to viewings, negotiations and completion — gave me confidence and made what could have been a stressful experience very smooth and well managed. I am especially grateful for the way you coordinated the timelines between the sale and the new purchase, ensuring everything proceeded seamlessly. Your responsiveness and willingness to address my questions promptly were greatly appreciated. Thank you once again for your dedication and support. I am very pleased with the outcome and would be glad to recommend your services to others seeking a reliable and professional housing agent.

(✔1) A 1-bedroom unit can generate steady rental income, but its price growth potential is generally lower.

(✔2) A 2 or 3-bedroom unit usually offers stronger long-term value. With more 1-bedroom units in the market, selling may take longer, so consider renting it out while marketing for sale.

(✔3) If you're planning to upgrade to a 2-bedroom unit, I'd be happy to share a practical strategy based on your goals. Feel free to get in touch for a discussion.

Hi

Generally 1 bedroom units take a longer time to sell off now due to the supply available and competition. It will be ideal to concurrently market the unit for sale while the unit lease period is running. If it takes about 3 months to find the buyer, the conveyancing takes about 12 weeks, so the completion can align in Dec as well with lease expiry period.

2 bedroom units are more in demand relatively due to a bigger buyer pool for small families as well as singles. May I know which development you are considering at the moment?

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 home-owners to smoothly complete their housing plans over the years. Please reach out to me at (65) 9 7 4 3 2 3 9 5 for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

Condo Seller

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

hi,

This is my take: 2 bedroom is definitely better for capital appreciation in the long run. Right now supply is crushing demand for one bed units and developers are responding by simply not building them anymore. .

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
1. Jenny was honestly everything I could have hoped for in a real estate agent. She helped me sell my house and also found me a great new property, and I always felt she was genuinely looking out for me throughout the process.
What I appreciated most was that she was honest, trustworthy, and very reliable. She was always responsive, explained things clearly, and gave practical advice rather than just pushing for a quick deal. She also had a really good analytical eye — whether it was pricing, timing the sale, comparing different properties, or thinking through the numbers, she helped me make decisions with confidence.
She really went the extra mile, from handling the small details to guiding me through negotiations and making the whole process much less stressful. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who is professional, sharp, and genuinely cares-- Aaron Ho (Resale condo seller & buyer)
2. Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)
3. Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very thankful for--Aaron Cheong ( HDB seller)
4. Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and recommendations, I had finally found my dream home-- Yvonne (New launch buyer)
5. Appreciate Jenny's clear and prompt communication style with us and other stakeholders. She was also patient and client-centered throughout the process of finding a home that met our criteria. As a first-time home buyer, we appreciate how she went out of her way to explain the process and answer questions we had--Samantha (Resale condo buyer)
6. My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller) Read More

1 Bedder units tend to move much slower in the resale market, thus if you have plans to move up to a 2 bedders, it will be good to start the planning now. Although we can't be sure in terms of the trend and numbers since you have not shared much details, the key thing is to stay invested, and in properties that have better prospects and higher returns, if finances allow.

Hi, thanks for your question.

Based on what you've shared, the answer isn't simply whether it's a good time to sell now or after the tenancy ends—it depends on a few key factors that could make a significant difference to your overall returns.

For example:

* Will selling with a tenant achieve a better price, or will vacant possession attract more buyers?
* How much Seller's Stamp Duty (if any), taxes, and transaction costs should you consider?
* Are the Bukit Timah 2-bedroom units you're targeting currently offering good value, or is it better to secure your next purchase first?
* Most importantly, how can you structure the timeline so you minimise holding costs and avoid unnecessary financial stress?

I've helped many homeowners in similar situations evaluate both scenarios using actual market data, estimated selling prices, and affordability calculations before making a decision.

If you're comfortable sharing the name of your condo, I'd be happy to provide a complimentary, no-obligation analysis comparing:

1. Sell now with tenant vs. sell after the tenancy ends.
2. Estimated sale proceeds and cash position.
3. Suitable 2-bedroom options in the Bukit Timah area that fit your budget.

Feel free to drop me a private message or WhatsApp me. I'm happy to go through the numbers with you so you can make an informed decision before committing to your next move.

Hi,

1) Most people are buying a 1 bedder for investment.
2) Therefore, you could sell it with tenant or without.
3) If you are planning to upgrade your investment. It would be advisable to sell it as soon than later.
4) In this way, you could have higher opportunity to invest than to wait till you really need to sell it urgently at a later date.

All The Best!!!

Hope the above answers your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 9011*0636 or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
