Hi,

Nobody can predict the prices in 5 years time but at least with a future MRT line to open there, chances of the value holding up will be higher. Important thing on getting resale is also the balance lease and nearby amenities. Thanks and hope to understand your requirements further and assist.

Warm regards

Hi,

I would say buying a HDB nearby a MRT station will bring you much convenience. If you have intention to rent, chances of getting tenants are also higher due to the convenience.

However, as for property prices, it boils down to many factors other than location. E.g. government policies, lease remaining, etc. Also depends on the market condition when you sell it.

If you intend to make a hefty profit from the HDB, I would say given the current market situation, it is unlikely or it may be a long wait due to several factors affecting the current market. From past records, prices of HDB near to MRT tends to hold better. But then again, government has plan for 8 in 10 homes to be within 10mins walking distance from an MRT station by 2030. In my opinion, find something that is affordable and suits your family and your needs.

I will be glad to share more with you by looking at past and current trends of HDB as well as factors to look out for when purchasing your property.

Hi,

Thanks for your query!
As established, HDBs are no longer an investment worthy asset, as the appreciating scope is limited as compared to private independent condos. Sure, the proximity to MRT would enhance the value of your property, however, having said that- the eventual price will still be influenced by elevation, condition, proximity to amenities and more.

Hence, it's always best to seek professional advise to ensure you're leveraging on the RIGHT price for the RIGHT property to maximize your profit margin. Let's discuss further on how we could go about illustrating a sales/ capital upswing report of your targeted vicinity with live up to date transactions to buffer your appreciation expectations & objectives. Thanks!
