Will 2017 Be A Good Time To Start Buying Private Properties in Singapore?

Don’t be confused between buying a property and investing in a property.
In light of the fact that home prices are still falling and rental rates declining, we think it’s safe to assume buyers today will get better bang for their buck compared to those who bought in 2016.

Top 5 Mistakes Foreigners Make When Buying Condo

Top 5 Mistakes Foreigners Make When Buying Condo

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/top-5-mistakes-foreigners-make-when-buying-condo-mani/?trk=mp-reader-card

1. Assuming high prices mean good amenities and a central location

In Singapore, the more accurate formula is high prices = space and privacy. It doesn’t always equate to accessibility or amenities; in fact, it could mean the opposite.

2. Assuming that older also means cheaper

Singapore has mature estates, which have been built up over a long period, and new estates, which looks like the landscape in Lord of the Rings movies. The mature estates, despite having older properties, are more desirable.

3. Using a local bank for a mortgage, and expecting perpetual fixed rates

There is no Singapore bank that provides a perpetual fixed rate home loan. In Singapore, when we say “fixed rate” we always mean for a certain amount of time only; typically three to five years. After that, the loan will revert to a floating rate.

4. Not checking the facing of the gigantic windows

If this is the first time you’re moving into a condo, or a country where it’s perpetually summer, we have a new concept for you: property facings.

5. Central locations ironically make travel slower at certain times

Singapore is a small country, with a lot of cars. During rush hour, roads in the Central Business District are more congested than a fat man’s arteries at a bacon buffet. It will no longer matter how central your property is, as your car will progress at about 60 inches per hour.
