There are always financial risks involved in the purchase of real estates or property investments. Nobody knows for sure the property market direction. The past historical property records, property trends and tracking will not determine the present or future direction of property market. There are many variable factors that will affect the property prices and values. We need to be familiar with the property market, property sentiments, property cooling measures, government policies, property rules and regulations to make a judgemental call if to buy, sell or rent properties. If we need a permanent place to stay where we called home, then it is best to buy a property within your budget. If it is for property investment, you may invest in property when there is market fear and to sell on strength. Property entry and exit strategies are both an art and science in property investment.

Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has divided Singapore into three main regions: Core Central Region (CCR), Rest of Central Region (RCR) and Outside Central Region (OCR). These regions contain all 28 of Singapore districts.

Locally, our Singapore household income growth, median income, median home prices, population growth, ageing populations, demographic trends do affect supply and demand of property segments which create buyer’s and seller’s property markets. Singapore property market sentiments, Singapore residential property market outlook, Singapore private property price index are amongst the property guides that may hint at housing market’s property direction.

Local and foreign property buyers have asked if leasehold or freehold properties are valued property that give good and better rental yields, potential upside and financial returns on investments. Many are concerned on the real estate huge upfront cash, return on investment (ROI) in real estate, movements in the fixed/variable bank loan interest rates, bank loan quantum, loan to value, mortgage affordability, maximum mortgage loan under MAS regulations, financing real estate purchase, real estate financial calculations, monthly repayment, cash flow, property conveyancing fees, sale and purchase agreement terms, house valuation, use CPF or cash to buy properties, maintenance & sinking funds and property entry/exit strategies.

Age of borrower and number of borrowers affect the borrowing loan quantum. Some has asked on the property market values, property valuations, property market direction, en bloc potentials, Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD) and legal matters. Multiple property owners or 2^nd property buyer may be interested in commercial, retail, shops, offices and industrial properties as these properties have no ABSD.

Potential rental yields and capital gains are the property investment returns and financial rewards on capital invested. Age of property matters especially if its leasehold as technically, it becomes zero value at the end of its property lease life. Freehold properties are valued about ten percent higher than its similar leasehold property types in the same location.

For property buyers and investors, it is good to know the built environment, property integrated design that adopts total building performance and sustainability. Its structure, facade, building materials, mechanical & electrical and interior systems.

All these would sustain the smart and green building energy performance in totality. Well maintained buildings will cost lesser on maintenance costs in the long term. It can also hold its property values better.

Reputation of property developer matters. We do property comparisons in your choice property type, property status, location, tenure and budget.

The key attributes for property comparisons are the property type, property location, price, tenure, surrounding amenities and transport links such as convenient access roads, bus interchange and MRT.

All these partly explain the range of property prices transacted.
