I want to buy a 3 bedrooms (around 1500 SQFT) condo in Singapore with
price range around S$1700 PSF. I am from United States, so I am not
really familiar with Singapore's property market. I would like to know
that if I should buy a new condo, which would finish in about 2 to 3
years or already completed condo. It would be an investment property,
so I don't need it immediately. Are the condo's cheaper at launch
sales? I would like to request your recommendations of unit that are
in my requirements.

Hi Swe Muang,

How are things over there for you?
There's equal chances of a good investment if you decides to purchase a completed condo or from the sub-sales market.

Most launch prices usually start off lower than the future market but there are cases where prices dropped from the initial launch. It's very important to study the potential in one, the right timing and a bit of luck.
If you do not wish to ride on your luck to earn a pile from the investment, you can always acquire one with rental returns to offset the installments you may incur every month. This is a safer bet always. Most importantly, the money matters.

I have a couple of units which promises high rental returns. I would love to have the chance to present to you what i have and to assist you throughout this venture.

If you can just drop me an email at clintonlimzj@hotmail.com It'll be deeply appreciated.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Have a nice day! Read More

Hi Mr Swe Maung ...

It's actually very simple: buying newly launched condos will cost you lesser at any point in time, because your funds will be parked there for 2-3 years while the project is being built - meaning no returns in between.
While it is generally anticipated that prices of these projects will go up when it has been completed, there is no way anybody can be sure ...
Other than that, you'd being making decisions based on a vision put together through floorplans, models & showflats.

On the contrary, I'd recommend for you to consider purchasing completed projects ... & since you are buying solely for investment purposes, I'd further recommend for you to buy properties with existing tenancies.

At $1700psf, you'd not be equipped sufficiently to consider projects in District 9 & District 10 ... but you should be able to get some units with good capital growth & steady rental yield in either District 11 or District 15.

You can check out my website for a better feel of what I've suggested ... better still, do get in touch with me soon, for a more detailed discussion on your true needs. THANKS!!
