Hi,

1) Just let me give you a more indepth understanding of Lake life growth trend,
2) Lake life had a growth of 26% appreciation at TOP. It enjoyed another growth of 40% (2021 ~ 2024) growth during this covid recovery growth.
3) There was a change hand of 122 out of 546 units. It implied that are 424 owners that could sell their property at a lower price in the next 10~15 years comparing to yours.
4) Honestly speaking, you have missed the golden opportunity to enter this property. It is common to see price to stay stagnant after a residential property TOP for 10 years.

All the best!

Hi Sir/Mdm,

Lake Life is a good option because it is relatively new and in terms of pricing it is very value for money. The past performance of this project has been great as well. I feel there is still room for capital appreciation in the next 10 to 15 years.

Upgrading is a good move but you are right that it is important not to overstretch yourself just to make that move.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can help you to do a detailed calculation and analysis to see whether it is financially comfortable for such a move!

Testimonial from my Clients
Nick is THE absolute best agent, guide to navigating the property market in Singapore. From selling to buying, he manages to get the absolute highest when selling and negotiators to the absolute lowest when purchasing. (So double win for me!). In fact, I bought my new home at the absolute lowest transaction across all the transacting homes. Most agents would just give vanilla advice, he puts scrutiny into every potential choice we were making by advising potential gains, rental yields, back up plans. I think we went through a whole list of more than 20 + before narrowing down to a few high potential properties! Super responsive to our questions and handheld us through the process and even answered questions in the middle of the night. Would absolutely recommend working with Nick for anyone looking to buy, sell or just advice!
Kenneth (Seller and Buyer) Jan 2025

Nick was introduced to me by a friend who learned that my previous property agent wasn’t meeting my expectations. During our first phone call, Nick quickly grasped my concerns and provided a detailed financial plan the next day. Since switching to Nick, selling my house has been much more relaxed. His virtual tour and informative fact sheet eliminated the need for my family and me to be constantly present for viewings by unsuitable buyers.
Nick was invaluable in purchasing my next property. He sourced units within my budget and analysed price trends of condo projects I was interested in. With Nick’s assistance, the buying process was seamless, and he expertly coordinated the sale of my current unit with the purchase of the next. Kudos to Nick for his outstanding service and advice!
Eileen Chen (Seller) June 2024

During Nick’s presentation to us, he showed confidence and resourcefulness. He showed us his various methods of reaching out to potential buyers instead of just relying on Propertyguru. He also saw the potential of our home to sell at our projected price. Where other agents deem impossible to achieve, he did his analysis and deems it reasonable and achievable. Nick proves trustworthy. From time to time, Nick will update us on the progress and on any viewing. He will filter buyers who could not meet our asking price and provide update and advice on the offers. We are grateful that he helps us to negotiate for a good price for our home. In summary, Nick is dedicated, resourceful, trustworthy and willing to take challenges.
Sunny Ng (Seller) April 2024

Selling our house was a pretty stressful ordeal, as we have already committed to buying our new home and hence have a timeline to meet. Losing a substantial deposit and worse still, not getting our dream home caused many sleepless nights as we are nearing our deadline. I am very glad we have decided to switch to Nick and seek his help after the dismal performance of our first agent. Not only is Nick very patient in explaining things to us, time and time again he gives us reassurance to allay our worries. And he walked his talk.
With his help, we finally managed to sell our unit at a price with Read More

Hi

Lake Life is a relatively new resale EC development, and is sited in an area with new infrastructure plans in the pipeline, as well as newer condo launches which will bring up the overall land prices here. At current price psf rates of Lake Like, I feel it is relatively value for money, and there is still growth potential in terms of capital appreciation as the entire Jurong Lake District develops further in the next 5 to 10 years, riding on the growth of the overall area.

There are also a good catchment of BTO upgraders nearby, which you can exit to next time when you sell in 8 to 10 years time.

Based on your info shared, it is important not to overstretch since you are coming into your 50s. But I generally redeploying your sale cash proceeds from the hdb to private property is still a good way to keep pace with inflation. Lake Life, comparable to its newer peer condos nearby, still have a healthy price gap and I believe it has still room for appreciation when they further converge.

Just my 2 cents. Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395  for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

EC Seller Mr Siah

We have had a positive experience with Ivan throughout the sale of our EC. He is a very responsible and helpful agent. He managed to sell our EC within a month, which exceeded our expectations. He has gone the extra mile to ensure there are interested buyers viewing our flat every weekend, and has provided frequent updates on the progress. On top, he has provided valuable advice in our property planning journey. He is someone who listens to the needs of his clients, but at the same time value add by adding his own perspective and insights to what works the best.

Hi, goood day, I will be happy to assist, as buying and selling involve proper timeline planning and also a prudent check on your current financial status to make sure it aligns with your goals when you are reaching your retirement age.

Property is no longer a speculation, so long we are buying within our affordability with a clear roadmap in place. And when its time to exit, this will minimize your risk in any property journey.

I have done some research on the Jurong transformation and the potential growth that one may be expecting and will be happy to share more in person.

Please reach out to me at 9821 6829  and we can discuss further on various options , looking forward to hear from you soon, thanks.

Realistically, the window for significant gains has passed—as with many developments, prices tend to plateau around the 10-year mark post-TOP.

QUOTE OF THE DAY " In negotiations, the most important thing is not to win or lose, but to find a solution that is mutually beneficial." Read More

At the end of the day, it is all about entry price base on existing market trend. If you are able to meet a seller who is the 1st owner of the property and has a reason to sell fast, you could be entering below value and stand to gain from the purchase.

Importantly, if your plan for holding this property is beyond 10 years, then the investment horizon should be safe as an asset to see you to your retirement.
