Hi Mr. Tan,

If you are looking for the smaller 1/2 bedder units, typically buying during launch is cheaper, as typically such units are limited in the project and vicinity and there's also early bird discounts. You can also choose the stacks you like. If its the bigger sized units you are eyeing, you might still have some time.
May I know which project are you looking at?

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,

Hi Rum,

There is no definite, as different developers do things differently for different projects.

If a project sells well, and all units are snapped up before TOP, then chances of you getting a unit via sub-sale of resale is low, and you most probably have to pay a premium over what the first buyer paid the developer.

If the project has a lot of balance units left after it TOP, you may be able to find yourself a bargain from there. A good example would be Capitaland's projects d'Leedon and Interlace. Should you buy such a unit from Capitaland today, you are actually buying at a lower price than your neighbours staying at a lower floor than you.

May I know what is your objectives for the purchase? Is it for your own stay or for investment purposes?

Should you need any 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,

Good morning Rum,

Usually purchasing within launch will be cheaper than after TOP. But market conditions start to change recently.

If you have noticed that, there's a oversupply of new units in the market this year.

So for developments that will be hit by ASBD or QC, the developers will start to give out huge discounts to clear their stocks.

Perhaps you can share more with me about your purchase requirements/ preference etc so I will be in a better position to advise you what are your available options.

Hear from you soon!

Hi Rum, it will be during the launch period and also you could even ask and be granted further discount from the developer if you are lucky. Pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

Dear buyer,

If you are only comparing prices for 1 project, there is no doubt that prices purchased from developer will be at the lowest possible (barring any fire sale from private owner after securing the unit from developer which is pretty rare).

If we are looking at an estate or even an entire district, comparing different projects, then the comparison could be trickier.

All in all, alot will be subjective to why are you looking in purchasing a unit, and why are you even considering a unit in the project over the so many other available projects and units.

Care to share more specific requirements and plans you have in private because I will be unable to receive any notice or alerts for your response posted inside this thread?

Hi Mr Tan,

It really depends on the property cycle.

In a bull market, buying from developers during launch will be cheaper.

However, in a subdued market, like right now, there is no guarantee that buying at launch will be cheapest.

I hope this will give you an idea.

If you'd like to discuss more or exchange ideas, feel free to contact me.

Hi Mr Rum,

By right and normally, bought during new launch will be cheaper. But there might be time when buying later can be cheaper also. Really have to depend on which project that you are buying, from which developer and what sizes are you looking at.

Dear Rum,

Re: Today’s SG Professional Choice- SGAgent.com & SGRealtor.com

Buying new launch will be good if the location is central and have high demand by buyer.

Presently, will be wiser to buy resale unit due to the pricing represent the market status (buyer market). Whereby new launch can never able to sell at lower price due to the present land price and material costs.
