And when it comes to property, we’re okay with squeezing into a two-bedder, even if the kitchen has no yard. What absolutely will set us off, however, is […] The post Should Property Agents Get First Dibs At New Condo Launches? There May Be A Fairer Way first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

For buyers looking for sheer space, duplex units are one of the more interesting resale market offerings.

Large freehold penthouses are not actually hard to find. What is tough to find, however, are the ones that manage to stay below the $3 million mark. As such, those who love these gigantic, highly unique properties often have to turn to the older resale options. That is, however, not always a huge drawback.
