Hi Daphne, I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Hope to hear from you soon and have a great week ahead. You may first like to apply for the HDB loan so that you would know how much the purchase price of the flat to be capped at.

Hi Daphne,

Subjective to which mature estate you are referring to as well as the age of the resale flat you are looking at, potential capital gain for HDB will be fairly limited and in fact, may even depreciate over time basing on the balance lease for the unit. Rental yield can be quite attractive though for the quantum price paid for HDB after meeting your Minimum Occupation Period, but do take note of the hassle involved in managing a rental property as we cannot guarantee the behaviour of tenants in the rented property despite screening of their profile done. The amount of maintenance work after each tenant can be quite draining.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

HI,

Purchasing a resale HDB flat usually will be recommended for long term stay as the lease decrease as you stay there especially you need to consider your own MOP before you can even rent out the whole unit.
In addition, a resale HDB doesn't necessary come cheap as the price will increase substantially after the first 5 years.

If you are looking for investment to get rental yield, then it will be best to look at private property which i will definitely be able to show you the statistics of a few properties which might be suitable for you.

Thanks!

Hi Daphne,

If your objective is home home stay, capital appreciation and rental yield are not the main consideration. What is important will be the location that will support your life style.

As an investment, capital appreciation will be more important than rental yield. However, investment needs do spread across a continuum.

You may text 9620 0827  for a casual chat.

Hi Daphne,

Capital appreciation and rental yield (and rentability) depends on the estate that you are purchasing. Though in general, HDB resale flats do not offer much in terms of capital upside, as you will be paying for the profits of the first owners.

Having said that, if you are a first timer and is eligible for the various Grants, then I think this might be an option you can consider too. Let's have a chat for me to further understand more on your requirements and objectives.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB resale and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

Should you need require 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,

Hi Maam
Unfortunately you could not place too mich hope on capital gain for HDB as trend since 2012 shows HDB flats do decrease in value annually. In addition for HDB flats, you are only allowed to rent out your house once your house has met it's MOP although there is no retriction in renting out your bedroom. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussions on this.
